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.”
