New York Attorney Gen.-elect Letitia James says she plans to launch sweeping investigations into President Donald Trump, his family and "anyone" in his circle who may have violated the law once she settles into her new job next month.

"We will use every area of the law to investigate President Trump and his business transactions and that of his family as well," --SNIP-- "We want to investigate anyone in his orbit who has, in fact, violated the law," said James, who was endorsed by New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo.

It appears James will investigate Trump for everything except the Russian collusion that the MSM has been screaming about for the last two years.

We want to investigate HARASS anyone EVERYONE in his orbit who has, in fact, violated the law," said James, who was endorsed by New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo.

I am not surprised at the Stalinist tactics of the urban elites but I am a little surprised at the passivity of high profile liberals (except for Alan Dershowitz), academics and media types. I hope never Trumpers are happy.
Imagine what these end justify the means rabid leftists would do if there was no electoral college?

Investigate her right back. I guarantee that it would take about 20 minutes of serious investigation to find the first evidence of Letitia James breaking the law. Probably take a couple of years to catalogue all of it. Get to work on her.

I did not realize an Attorney General could investigate an uncharted crime without permission from a governor. She is going fishing and that can not be allowed.

I think the Trump family should take all their holdings and real estate in New York, sell them and move their business to Florida and Texas. No state tax and much less bull.

Gee, I just love sanctimonious talk from New Yawkers about Trump but when it comes to Hillary and her untold numbers of wrongdoings, basically crickets.

What does legal have to do with anything a Democrat does?

Good news, everyone: Over the the past six or so decades NYS has lost almost half its House seats. And we’re fixing to lose another 1 or two this next time around.

Albany fiddles whIle Upstate burns...

GAME ON!

Democrats have shown over 3 years that abuse of power for fishing expeditions on your political foes is FAIR GAME!

It’s time to weaponize the DoJ, again, against democrats. Gloves are off. Precedent has been more than set.

Sounds like she needs to be subject to a Midnight dynamic raid for Rat crimes real or believed. Shame if resistance occurred during the raid.

We fought a war over this kind of crap.

Call it the "throw the first stone" doctrine. I am getting quite tired of prosecutors setting themselves up as little dictators to determine who we can have as legislators and President.

Giving prosecutors absolute immunity was a very bad idea by the Supreme Court.

I don’t see how any of this can be legal. The government can’t just investigate anyone it wants to destroy for personal reasons.
