Add The New York Post on Google The Issue: An aide to AG Letitia James allegedly ordering staff to target people linked to Donald Trump. It seems New York Attorney General Letitia James crossed the line in going after President Trump (“Sue-per biased AG aide,” Sept. 1).
I find it amusing that the terms employed to describe James and other Democrats’ witch hunts against Trump are “lawfare” and “weaponization.” I believe the word for this type of conduct is actually persecution.
Some 250 years ago, fear of this sort of oppression led our forebears to cross an ocean at great risk to form a great nation founded on freedom, liberty and justice for all.
James’ abuse of power, dereliction of duty and malfeasance in use of taxpayer funds doesn’t surprise me. When she said Trump was too male and too pale years ago, it proved she wasn’t fit to serve in office.
Her anti-male and anti-white statements should have precluded her from seeking office.
In the matter of Letitia James, one has to wonder to what extent her unethical conduct can go before she is disciplined by the American Bar Association or some other legal-ethics authority.
James, in a documented manner, campaigned for office with a spoken intent to target Trump. She subsequently did so, and now we find out that one of her top staff ordered others to target any of his associates as well.
Her actions fit the category of selective prosecution, driven by politics. Again, is there no remedy for such conduct by an officer of the court?
The bias and corrupt attorney general of New York has a whistleblower from her own staff saying her office encouraged going after anyone or any organization that supports Trump. It’s time to take off the gloves and make this witch-hunting disgrace pay for her sins.
AG James doesn’t like Trump very much and, even though it’s all quiet on the western front right now, this rift is far from reaching its climax. She will not let Trump slip away.
The president, one way or another, will depart from the White House, but he will remain James’ target.
The $18 billion money grab from Meta nicely gets negligent parents and lazy, directionless teens off the hook (“An Insta slam on META,” Aug. 27).
Cue the violin. Are there other such lucrative fronts for poor victims?
Can we prosecute Coca-Cola on behalf of all fat folks with diabetes? Can we sue Budweiser in the name of each DWI death? Can we go after teachers when our students can’t read and write? Can we criticize victims of crime and sympathize with the responsible thugs? Scratch that. Already happening. Hit pharmaceutical companies for overdose deaths? Been there, done that.
Malaise is always someone else’s fault. Hell of a model for a functional society.
The $18 billion fine imposed on Meta is a joke. That doesn’t amount to even 10% of Mark Zuckerberg’s net worth.
What was the personal cost to families whose children took their own lives due to depression and bullying that these social platforms were fully aware of? Add in the cost of mental illness — and therapy — to those who didn’t take their own lives.
Zuckerberg is worth $198 billion, and the market capitalization of Meta is $1.5 trillion, so a proper penalty would have been $400 billion to be paid out over 20 years and used to help treat mental illness.
