- 🎯 A grand jury has refused to indict New York State Attorney General Letitia James for alleged bank fraud, marking the third failed attempt by the Trump administration.
- 🛡️ Jurors are acting as a "bull work" against alleged prosecutorial overreach, abuse, and misconduct by Trump allies.
Prosecutorial Misconduct Allegations
- 🔍 The case was initially pursued by an improperly appointed US Attorney, Lindseay Halligan, whose authority was questioned.
- ⚖️ Halligan's conduct in a previous grand jury for James Comey involved allegedly misleading jurors and presenting privileged evidence, leading to the dismissal of indictments.
- ⚠️ It is suspected that Halligan acted similarly unethically in the Letitia James grand jury, though direct litigation is pending.
Vindictive Prosecution and Due Process
- 🔄 Repeatedly presenting a case to a grand jury after multiple rejections can be seen as evidence of vindictiveness.
- ⚖️ While there's no set limit on how many times a prosecutor can seek an indictment, persistent failure could lead to a due process violation.
- 📄 The repeated attempts by the prosecution are creating valuable evidence for James's defense, potentially proving a vindictive prosecution.
Allegations Against Donald Trump
- 🏠 Reports suggest Donald Trump may have committed similar mortgage fraud to what he accused others of, signing mortgages for different homes while claiming each was his principal residence.
- 🚫 While presidential immunity likely wouldn't apply to actions taken before his presidency, the statute of limitations may be a factor for these older allegations.
- 💡 Evidence of Trump's alleged similar conduct could be used by James to support a claim of vindictive prosecution.
