New York AG says she won't be bullied by Trump

[AZProgressive]

New York Attorney General Letitia James (D) on Monday shot back at former President Trump after he took a swipe at her the previous day, saying she would not be “bullied or intimidated.”

Trump sent out a message through his Save America PAC that said, “Happy Easter to failed gubernatorial candidate and racist Attorney General Letitia James.”

(Snip)

In a Monday statement, James’s office said Trump was “entitled to defend himself in court.”

“However, this attorney general will not be bullied or intimidated by the former president,” the statement continued. “The courts have ruled time and time again that the office’s investigation into Mr. Trump and his financial dealings is legitimate and lawful, and Attorney General James will continue to follow the facts and the law wherever they may lead. Nothing will dissuade her from pursuing justice.”

1. Trump and his family have to be charged for their criminal offenses. Civil charges will

just be ignored. If he was a former POTUS or a high profile person he would have already been charged. If nothing happens then it is just more proof that our justice system is only for the "little guy".

How damn sorry do you have to be these days to face the accountability that us common folks face on a daily basis.

2. "Nothing will dissuade her from pursuing justice"

Then let’s get it moving, why not? She’s had ample time to build a case.

[XanaDUer2]

16. It's like they just say it

No followup is needed.

[hamsterjill]

17. Exactly.

I’ll believe it when I see it.

[RKP5637]

20. Her words sound great, but now let's get it going!!! n/t

[Kingofalldems]

3. Kick and rec for Trump's secret pals.

[Justice matters.]

4. What a little baby inside that malicious head of his...

Sincere apologies to real babies all over the world. None of them issue stupid statements full of projection like that criminal asshole does.

[Escurumbele]

5. i would not bother to put a statement to counter his stupidity, I would do a Jen Psaki and just say

that the office of the AG does not bother to engage in children's play, or something of that sort. I think that would infuriate him more. Treat him like a child, because he is an evil child.

[Septua]

13. Agree.

..or maybe just ignore the issue till someone asks for a response, then reply with an eye roll...

[Jetheels]

6. At least there is one person on this entire planet

that will stand up to tfg. What a pathetic rest of the world.

[OldBaldy1701E]

14. There are others.

I know I would not give him the time of day. But, since I am no one, my dismissal of him is worthless. Which is interesting, as having us 'lowly peons' refuse to bow to his greatness is exactly what he needs to see.

[Jetheels]

15. Yeah, um, no we don't count.

There were two others, Cuomo and I forget the other one. Both their lives/ careers were pretty much destroyed. If they had not been vocal in the news about their criticism of tfg, I bet you they’d still be working at their jobs.
Tfg’s reach is long and wide.

[Tickle]

28. Really?

Cuomo? I believe you but I’ve never had it put to me this way. Cuomo’s shit came down when he was gone, Trump that is. Even with Chris Cuomo it was after trump was gone.
I would love for you to get more detailed or send me the link.
I’m saying this in a very interesting way zero sarcasm so please respond to me privately or here

[Jetheels]

38. I don't have any link for you. This is my personal query. From watching news, watching how

things go down.

Let me ask you something. Did you watch Cuomo’s daily televised talks which began at the start of the pandemic? Back in the day when there were no masks yet, when there were no vaccines, when there were storage containers holding bodies dead from Covid since the morgues were full, parked around the streets of NYC, when there was a makeshift hospital in Central Park because the hospitals were full. Cuomo, was on the news every single day for I don’t know how many months, starting at the beginning of the pandemic, and was extremely vocal in his bold accusations of trumps failings and handling of the pandemic. Not one person in this country was so outspoken of trumps failures. Except Michael Avenatti who came under the spotlight because of his client Stormy Daniels and her association with trump.

If you don’t know what happened to them and their careers you can look it up.

Your questioning makes no sense to me.
You are familiar with vengeance, no?
Would my theory only make sense to you if Cuomo lost his job immediately after calling out trump and Jared?
Some people hold grudges and retaliate, get payback, generations after the event.
Some people have long reaches in society.
Do you think trump got away with all his shit for years all by himself?

I find it suspicious that these two men, one of whom definitely committed some crimes, but look at all the criminal behavior that never goes punished, both lost their careers, one of them convicted. And these two men we’re also the two most vocal people criticizing trump. It’s when political figures take center stage in the spotlight that they become targets, and these two were holding under the brightest light.

Besides vengeance, these two men also were threats to trump.

[Tickle]

39. That's right! I had forgotten

Cuomo and the beginning of Covid. I like the way you think! Nice post 💁‍♀️👍

[SoonerPride]

8. Hasn't his deposition been postponed indefinitely?

Statements mean nothing.

He has successfully avoided being deposed over and over.

Stand up to him better.

[hamsterjill]

18. +1000

Let’s see some action instead of just rhetoric!

[calimary]

22. That's one of his tricks. Outlast 'em.

Keep filing for extensions and delays. ESPECIALLY delays. And that way, you can string out your opponent long enough that he/she runs out of money and either drops it and goes away, or settles for a pittance of what they were suing for in damages. Pretty devious. But it worked. And it’s worked for a long time.

One of many reasons why having lots of money (or being PRESUMED TO HAVE lots of money) built kind a f an invisible fortress around him. It worked as another form of intimidation (“do you know how deep his pockets are? He can drag this thing out til you’re facing bankruptcy.” You better take what you can get while you still can…”).

And he fucked with people’s imaginations, giving the impression that he was somehow supreme, invincible, unreachable, unassailable, etc. if you THINK it’s true, then it very well IS - at least in your perception. With this bastard, PERCEPTION is EVERYTHING. It explains why he can be vague about his net worth - which lends the IMPRESSION that he’s so damn rich even HE can’t keep track of how much money he has. And why he can tell one person he’s worth this much and then tell somebody else he’s worth that much and nobody really bothers to check because all they need to know is that he’s got shitloads of bucks - MORE shitloads than you can even imagine, and exact numbers don’t mean much because all YOU need to know is that it’s a lot.

It’s a perception management game he’s played successfully ALL HIS DAMN LIFE. And it’s all designed to benefit himself and screw everybody else.

[SoonerPride]

24. You are 100% right.

It is extremely frustrating.

James says she won't be bullied but still hasn't done anything to him.

DO SOMETHING!

[calimary]

25. Yeah, that's what I'd say to her and A.G. Garland!

So DO SOMETHING!!!!!

Or

DO SOMETHING, DAMMIT!!!!!

[Evolve Dammit]

9. He's as sick a fuck as we will ever see. LOCK HIM UP.

[Septua]

10. Well said...

[RKP5637]

21. He should have been institutionalized years ago, but in many areas mental health in the US has failed

[Evolve Dammit]

27. Like when he pushed his sister down the stairs and mom asked "What kind of monster have I raised"??

[RKP5637]

31. Yep, sure is a clue as to what he's made of. n/t

[Evolve Dammit]

32. We are made early; some inherited? some environmental. Happens in the formative years. His

Dad punching him in the head at his college dorm was an indicator of the family "psyche." Witnessed by roommate. In any case, he is one f'd up sociopath at this point.

[RKP5637]

33. ... and likely on the edge of psychotic at some point, perhaps. It's so disgusting people follow in

his cult.

[Evolve Dammit]

34. The attraction of those millions is frightening

[RKP5637]

35. I just don't get it. I used to wonder about Germany, for example, what was the attraction to

Hitler. They name a scapegoat and direct hatred toward them as a focus to unite the idiot factor of a country. They are horrible. And for whatever reason the stupidity in the US is incredible. I blame it on Rupert Murdock who IMO is solely responsible for taking down the US.

[Evolve Dammit]

36. Yes. And 40 years of Rush, which the Dems never countered and it galvanized millions. RW owned

the airwaves for four decades, including Armed Forces Radio.

[RKP5637]

37. Yep!!! n/t

[calimary]

23. The sweetest revenge of all would be that he dies broke, and everybody knows it.

[Evolve Dammit]

26. Indeed. I want the mugshot with seriously matted orange fibrous hair. And the look of defeat.

[calimary]

29. So do I!

And not just some photoshopped image like we've seen before. The REAL thing.

[Evolve Dammit]

30. He is decades past due for total humiliation and a life behind bars, at Rykers preferably.

[BWdem4life]

11. This from a failed presidential candidate and actual racist

not to mention rapist, fraud, tax cheat, traitor...

[Takket]

12. Trump was "entitled to defend himself in court."

YEAH GREAT............ WHEN????????????????????

the investigation started in 2019. I january she said she had significant evidence of fraud. that was THREE MONTHS AGO. LET'S GO!!!!!!!!!!! And this isn't even a criminal case.........

[hamsterjill]

19. She was too busy trying to get Cuomo.

Well, he’s out now. So there’s nothing in her way. Let’s see some action!
