Letitia James and an eye for an eye

Published



LETITIA JAMES AND AN EYE FOR AN EYE. There’s no doubt Letitia James still wants to destroy Donald Trump. New York’s Democratic attorney general, who won office on a campaign pledge to pursue Trump, who filed a meritless lawsuit to destroy Trump’s business empire and with a sympathetic judge won a $454 million verdict, who cheered as her Democratic colleague, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, prosecuted Trump on flimsy charges of fraud and convinced a deep-blue Manhattan jury to convict — after all that, Letitia James is still at it.

“I’m not afraid of no president,” James shouted during a speech at Al Sharpton’s National Action Network in April of this year. “Donald Trump, we’re ready for you. We’re coming for you. … We’re fighting on. We’re not going down silent. Victory, my friends, is clear. It’s now. And I’m not waiting four years. I’m waiting two until a speaker by the name of Hakeem Jeffries comes to bring us some rest.”
