FBI opens formal investigation of NY Attorney General Letitia James

quote:

There are a couple of attorneys on here that practice federal criminal law

Who?

You’ll know by the quality of their posts if they decide to post here. The good ones and successful ones are fairly discreet.

I can see that. I was just curious who they are. I'd welcome their experienced & qualified take on this.

Yes. She won't get convicted in NY.

Hope they can find a way to indict her outside NY. Aren’t some of the properties in question in VA?

---

I wondered about that too.

Yes, at least two properties are in VA. These are the 'centerpieces' of the case because she [allegedly] put her dad as her husband on at least one of them and listed both of them as primary residences.

But what I was wondering is what determines jurisdiction...
- where the properties were located?
- the state in which the mortgages were obtained?
- her real residence?
- her fake residence?
- judge/jury shopping and wherever the grand jury is out of?
- where the headquarters of the mortgagee is? or is it a branch physical location?

ETA: since it involved a) money and b) crossing state lines she is going to get the good ole Fed "wire fraud". How does that affect jurisdiction?

I’m an engineer not an attorney but I did just buy a house recently. In the closing package there a document that you have to sign that tells you that it is a felony to claim that the home you are purchasing is your primary residence if it isn’t, That page even has the FBI logo on it. She either needs to go to jail or resign as an official of the state of NY.

This shows the cavalier nature of these people. They have no fear. If I were committing crimes, I wouldn’t wage a high-profile war against people supposedly committing similar crimes.

Yet, it happens all the time.

Mortgage fraud is a very common crime with politicians.

The Freddy Gray prosecutor from Baltimore got convicted for this, too.

My theory is that non-Congressional politicians are limited in how to make money outside of their salary legally, and RE is the easiest way. You just have to avoid things like....mortgage fraud.

It will somehow be "randomly" assigned to a leftist activist judge and nothing will happen. She won't even have to spend her own money defending herself.

It depends. If it's in VA, she's fricked.

But you're a normal, rational human being, for the most part. Letitia James is not.
I saw an old tweet of hers, either here or on Gab, where she was talking about what an awful crime mortgage fraud is... Which she made while she was committing mortgage fraud. People like her seem to eat shite like that up.. fighting the good fight against evils they are perpetrating.
I can't figure out if they're psychopaths reveling in it or just deflecting, but I see it so much that any time I see a politician talking about how evil something is I automatically think THEY need to be investigated to see how bad they are doing that evil thing.
