DOJ Probe into Letitia James: 'Reap What You Sow,' Says Former Trump Attorney

DOJ Probe into Letitia James

• 🔍 A DOJ probe has been launched into New York Attorney General Letitia James, with former Trump attorney Jim Trusty suggesting it's a case of "reap what you sow."
• ⚖️ Trusty criticizes James for allegedly announcing her intention to target President Trump as a basis for her political campaign, calling it unethical prosecutorial misconduct.
• 🏛️ He notes that James has not been held accountable by the New York bar, and her civil case against Trump operated within a system that allegedly "played along with this charade."

Potential Legal Ramifications

• 📧 Trusty suggests that James's alleged recklessness in ethics could lead to the subpoenaing of internal communications that reveal her intentions.
• 🎯 These communications might show a desire to deprive President Trump of office and his voters of their civil rights.
• 📄 The investigation could also uncover if James buried exculpatory information during the civil case, which would be beneficial to the administration.

Deprivation of Rights

• ❓ The core of the investigation may center on whether James deprived Donald Trump of his constitutional and legal rights.
• 📜 Trusty explains this involves a figure of legal authority denying a citizen their rights, potentially referencing 18 USC 241 and 242 which address deprivation of rights under color of law.
• 📈 While it's early to confirm prosecution, the investigative process of examining back-channel communications and intentions is expected to be fascinating.
