Trump filed the lawsuit against New York AG Letitia James Wednesday in Palm Beach County, Florida

Donald Trump filed a lawsuit in Florida Wednesday against New York Attorney General Letitia James, whom he called "crooked and highly partisan" and claims is abusing her position to "recklessly injure" him, his family, and his business. He also claimed she was attributing to a "war of intimidation and harassment."

"Today, I filed a lawsuit in Florida State Circuit Court against the corrupt Attorney General of New York State, Letitia ‘Peekaboo’ James," Trump wrote in an email to his supporters.

In the statement, Trump added: "Crooked and highly partisan James now thinks it is the business of the state of New York to go after my revocable trust and pry into my private estate plan, only to look for ways to recklessly injure me, my family, my businesses, and my tens of millions of supporters."

The former president used similar language in the lawsuit, in which he alleged James was pursuing "a relentless, pernicious, public, and unapologetic crusade" against him "with the stated goal of destroying him personally, financially, and politically."

Trump also contended James’ "vitriolic and obsessive pursuit" of him resulted in her taking actions that are not proper "for a state attorney general."

In his statement, Trump called New York "one of the most crime-ridden places on earth with murders, robberies, drug deals, and every other form of crime setting records on a weekly basis," and contended James was not doing enough to alleviate this problem.

Well, he’s right. It’s not the job of prosecutors to obsess about one person they don’t like looking for some way to indict them. It’s their job to prosecute criminal complaints brought to them by the police and the public.

If this ever makes it to court, the D A should be laughed out of town. The ‘victims’ will be Trump’s witnesses.

Pretty sure this suit is not going to get much traction, legally.

Not only is “Tish” relentlessly pursuing President Trump, she is ignoring the blatant criminal activity of Hillary (and Bill) Clinton and Warren Wilhelm Jr. and his Concubine, Chirlane McCray, who “can’t account” for over $850 MILLION TAXPAYER DOLLARS used in her “mental health initiative..” “Tish” is as crooked as Lombard Street.

Sue the hell out her and everyone on her staff. I don’t like lawfare, but fire sometimes needs to be fought with fire.

What - running for public office by promising to prosecute an individual American citizen for no crime in particular is illegal?

This is why immunity needs to be revoked for prosecutors.

This is why immunity needs to be revoked for prosecutors.

It was created in the 1970's by the Supreme Court.

Prosecutorial immunity is an absolute shield against damages lawsuits for claims that arise from prosecutorial actions. Believing that the constant worry of lawsuits would impede prosecutors’ ability to do their job, in its 1976 decision Imbler v. Pachtman, the Supreme Court created this immunity to serve the “public trust” and ensure “the proper functioning of the criminal justice system.”

Maybe the current court can reverse this non-sense as well as affirmative action and Row v. Wade.

When someone like James can be voted in as the state AG, it’s time to leave the state because the voters are brain dead and these idiots will quickly drive the state over the cliff.
