Lawyers for Letitia James are claiming that the investigation into her alleged mortgage fraud is politically motivated. That sound you just heard is an irony detector exploding.
This is especially rich, considering that James is trying to distract from her legal woes by launching yet another lawsuit against Trump.
Are her lawyers not aware that she ran for office almost entirely on the promise to ‘get Trump’ for any reason she could find? She actually campaigned on it.
Now that she is facing charges of her own, it’s suddenly politically motivated? It is to laugh.
Watch the video from the FOX Business Network below:
NEW: Big Tish lawyers are calling the reported FBI probe against her “politically motivated.”
Irony meters just exploded.
Tish campaigned for office on going after Trump.

It has also been revealed that the taxpayers of New York are going to be forced to pay for Letitia James’ defense.
Gothamist reported:
The budget sets aside $10 million to cover private defense costs for state employees subject to federal investigation, so long as the investigation was “reasonably likely to have been commenced” because of the employee’s work. The measure leaves little doubt it is carefully tailored to apply to James, who won a $450 million judgment against Trump, his family and his business last year. The provision applies to state employees who “previously initiated … a criminal or civil investigation or prosecution” of a federal official.
“I can’t imagine a majority of New Yorkers not being outraged that their hard-earned dollars that go to the government are now being used — or can be used — to pay for private attorneys to defend public officials against charges of crimes that they committed, having nothing to do with their elected position,” said state Sen. Andrew Lanza, a Staten Island Republican.
The people of New York deserve so much better than this.
