JUSTICE IN AMERICA? – AT 1:53 P.M. ET:  We have an attorney general here in New York State who needs to be treated, and medicated, and have her mouth washed out with strong soap.  From dailywire.com:   

New York Attorney Gen.-elect Letitia James is buttressing President Trump’s claims that there is a “witch hunt” pursuing him; she told NBC News that she intends to investigate not only the president, his family and "anyone" in his circle who may have violated the law.

James blustered, "We will use every area of the law to investigate President Trump and his business transactions and that of his family as well,” adding, "We want to investigate anyone in his orbit who has, in fact, violated the law.”

NBC listed some of the investigations that James said she plans to pursue:

• Any potential illegalities involving Trump's real estate holdings in New York, highlighting a New York Times investigation published in October into the president's finances.

• The June 2016 Trump Tower meeting with a Russian official.

• Examine government subsidies Trump received, which were also the subject of Times investigative work.

• Whether he is in violation of the emoluments clause in the U.S. Constitution through his New York businesses.

• Continue to probe the Trump Foundation.

Newsweek reported, “James also indicated she intends to probe government subsidies received by the president, as well as any illegal activities that might involve Trump’s real estate holdings in New York City.”

COMMENT:  This is madness.   Does this well-known leftist operative have any probable cause to believe there's been illegality?  It is it just a hunch?  An order from party officials?

The power of the prosecutor is always great.  It can easily be abused.  This is abuse, not public service.  Our attorney general needs to be restrained.  Even if you dislike the president intensely, you should insist on the due process required in a democracy.
