Legal Expert Says New York Bar Should be Embarrassed by Letitia James

He accused James of being “selective” in isolating Trump and his company, since James has expressed no desire to pursue Democrats who have exhibited similar conduct.

 The Gateway Pundit | by Guest Contributor  . . ."Fox reported, “Turley told ‘Hannity’ on Wednesday that he previously criticized James while she was running for office in 2018 after she made such boasts and pledges about litigiously pursuing Trump.”

"He cited the obvious “serious ethical problems with a prosecutor really trying to secure office on the pledge to nail one person.”

"And he called James’ claims at the time a “trophy pledge” to “bag” her target.

"The lawyer noted James had failed to cite a criminal or civil offense for which she would attack Trump.

" 'In a montage of clips played by host Sean Hannity, James previously referenced threats to ‘fundamental rights,’ Trump’s ‘abuses’ and an interest in finding whether the then-president ‘laundered money,’” the report said.

"Turley said, “[N]ot mentioning what he might be charged with, [James said] I’m just going to charge him with something.”

"He said the New York bar should see her comments, and her, as “an embarrassment.”

"He described James’ actions as the “recreational use of the laws to pursue unpopular persons.' ” . . .
