  1. Uh she is running for reelection and she needs to show she is doing something. She is low in the polls? Bottom line, she couldn't find anything illegal against TRUMP and his business and so she didn't want to look like a fool. Therefore, she just filed a lawsuit instead. Anyone can sue anyone for anything. But your leftist news will spin it to make you angry and lie to you about Trumps hidden crimes and such, bla bla, bla. And you all leftist are socialist liberal Communist cause you're close to that side of the political spectrum. Anyways, she couldn't find a CRIME so she had to announce a lawsuit which will fail without evidences otherwise, they would have file charges against Trump had they found any evidence of a crime. No, but your leftist media will lie and say, "Trump is guilty we just know it. Trump has the evidence somewhere. We've got to find it". You leftist love to spend people's tax money against one man. Fighting and fighting to stop just one man. Are you afraid of this one man so badly? Biden is the one trying to force people against their will. Back to this case, banks are the ones who determine the values of property though comps and will decide what a borrower can borrow. On a another note something you leftist don't do is you just take the news as face value without really looking into it yourself if it is really truth. The media is run by corporate liberals who lie to the people to get their/your agenda through the hoops. You leftist cant win on just your argument alone, the people will reject it so you and your media have to lie get people to believe your agenda. That's corrupt. Look in the mirror you Communist Democrats.

  2. Message
    If you would like to make history !
    Investigate Eco Health Alliance and Peter Daszak of NY in their involvement in wuhan Lab and NIH Covid project.

  3. Lady your confused. First you have a VICTIM file report and investigate gather evidence. Next Arrest and charge the person. Have trial. THEN file lawsuit AGAINST the criminal CONVICTED of the crime. Are you spending your own money or tax payers money on this case? I would be upset you spending peoples money for nothing.

  4. As new york falls apart, violence on the streets… the ag is worried about protecting the vipers and cheats… the banks….. so what if trump out trumped the biggest criminals of all times…. Money lenders…. You go Trump!! AG go worry about crime, you got nothing criminal on the man who is for the people.

  5. Obviously she didn't notice what happened to Liz Cheney for pursuing the same type of witch hunt in Wyoming, she went down in flames. New York tax payers have more important things for their AG to do with her time and their tax dollars than to pursue her personal witch hunt. This will go nowhere and will probably cost her the next election. Trump was the only President to not get rich from being President, unlike Biden, Pelosi, their children, Obama, Clinton's, etc.. And BTW, he is innocent until proven guilty, not guilty because she says so.

  6. They will lose and Trump will have another win. They should stop and let him disappear into the shadows.

  7. It took three years and all you have is he said his business is worth more than it might be and he got favorable deals because they thought he was richer this is a joke right ….

  8. These poor suckers believing a joke like her should be ashamed…

  9. No wonder New Yorkers are fleeing to Florida where Trump lives…She is pathetic

  10. attorney general the racist attacks on the Asian race in New York and in America and nobody's helping them because they're the wrong colored race and the attackers are free to continue their attack because they're the right color race attacks and attacks on the Jewish race continue the district attorney does nothing all the attorney general because they're the wrong colored race but the criminals these races are free because they are the right colored race this is the justice in New York if you are the wrong colored race

  11. Trump and his grifter children are flight risks and should be held at Riker's Island until the conclusion of the trial.

  12. Plain and simple harrasment by AG L. James

  13. Slow walking renegades to justice is a sham. Justice delayed and denied to others represents the two tiered system of injustice that is alive and well in America.
    " Justice is Mine, I will repay." No one will escape that.

  14. Key word here is “alleged”. Nothing but more smears and allegations that will prove, yet again, to be a nothingburger, of which democrat propaganda will not inform you of the results of, yet another, investigation.

  15. It’s illegal to borrow and hope for high appraisals ??? No wonder people are running from New York , disgusting hateful attorney general … give me her tools and she ll be In jail as well !!!

  16. You don't mess with a black woman in law enforcement! She is not playing

  17. Drumpf to Lawyer: Why can't we just say I declassified them with a wave of my MAGA-ic wand?

  18. Always bet on BLACK, LETITIA JAMES!

    ******** Any fool who disagree with my comments and feel the need to show your ignorance to the world by posting against my comment, have at it. You will have a conversation with yourself due me not receiving any notifications of any comments. My settings won’t allow me to see your ignorant comments. You will have an uneducated conversation with yourself like the delusional fool you are.***********

  19. Soon to also play: When the devil went down to Georgia, he was outplayed by a tape recorder and Fani.

  20. Overstepping political aspirations AG! So, are you going to nail the Clintons too?!!!!!!!

  21. Trump "Thereby cheating all of US"
    Enough of his Federal, Criminal, Civil violations. Bar him from NY business and better yet put him behind Bars. I really don't want to hear his lying mouth again!

  22. Hunter's 30 dollar paintings are worth 500 thousand. So a Trump owned building is like a celebrity own house or building. Has more value. If Trump said it was worth less, that would had been tax fraud.

  23. “Ladies and gentlemen if you look out the left window you will notice flames and smoke coming from the engines and the Captain has informed me that we need to prepare the cabin for an emergency landing. Your crew is fully trained to handle this situation. We have to prepare the cabin for a crash landing!”

  24. Letitia's campaign slogan was "We're gonna get Trump". And this is all she could come up with. What a joke. Lending Institutions never rely on any anyone's valuation except that of a highly qualified appraiser that have been proven to be unbiased. Often, on larger loans, they would have these appraisals peer reviewed. If there was anything in question, they could order another independent appraisal. And, of course, they would always verify square footage. These loans have all been paid. None are in default. The fact that Letitia is going after stuff from 12 years ago, and she is doing this 50 days from the midterms, clearly demonstrates this is all political

  25. It is NOT the AG suing trump.

    It is THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK suing trump.

  26. Trump has been slammed big time with a civil lawsuit that financially will bring him down. PRAISE THE LORD! Expect his mob to be very angry about this attacking people verbally and possibly with physical violence. Of course…that's what you would expect from people with shallow minds that support a criminal. With 6 criminals investigations going on plus this civil lawsuit, it's pushing his mob to the brink like him. Remember Jan.6, 2021 when they and the Republican Party showed their true colors. Traitors of America! Vote in November for Democracy, not Trumpocracy.

  27. Yeah sure you can’t stop him so your corruption is so clear right before election Biden laptop crack head son china 😮your all corrupt pedophiles

  28. If it’s illegal, why haven’t they been charged? Just in time for midterms?

  29. He's got nothing anyone needs. Liar. Criminal. Riot insighter. Baby president who can't lose. Disgrace.

  30. But wait the best is yet to come🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳

  31. MMMMMMM MAGA TEARS: DELICIOUS!

  32. The Trumps: the orange stain on red, white and blue USA history.

  33. The Grifter family 🤮🤮🤮
