This lawsuit is an election stunt to motivate base voters. Charles Gasparino’s bet: James also knows her “sweeping” case will likely flame out but only after she’s re-elected as AG in Novembe…
. “Sweeping,” in case you don’t know, is the very Timesian way to signify just about anything deemed impactful by the people at the Gray Lady. Read the case’s paperwork in all its often-excruciating detail and you, too, might be tempted to believe James did such a bang-up job that the Donald’s next stop is the presidential suite in Sing Sing.
OK, I’m no fan of lying , but before passing judgment on the former president’s guilt, it would be wise to speak to some people in the real estate business about what goes on in their neck of the woods. Moreover, Trump is hardly alone in a business filled with BS artists, which is why they say the case should be laughed out of court. , but New York state courts are packed with like-minded judicial types who also think Trump needs to rot in jail. Even worse objective evidence abounds of James pushing the boundaries in using her office to advance her political goals.
Crime, of course, is an issue that state AGs should care about, particularly crimes where people are killed on the streets of New York state’s crime-ridden cities or those crimes that cost taxpayers money. The Trump case is neither, all of which makes James a hack in the worst tradition of the office.
