Tish James Doesn’t Care About Violent Crime Anymore
28th September 2022
New York attorney general Letitia “Tish” James has a lot on her plate just now. Sadly none of it has anything to do with fighting the surging crime throughout the state and the nation’s largest city. Instead James has her sights narrowly set on a civil lawsuit against Donald Trump and his family.
She even found the time last week to fire off a tweet angrily complaining that a Yankees game was not being broadcast live. Clearly keeping New Yorkers safe is not on James’s agenda.
In fairness, James’s persecution of the Trump clan is a campaign promise kept. On the night she won the AG race in 2018 she told her adoring crowd that, “I will be shining a bright light into every dark corner of his real estate dealings, and every dealing, demanding truthfulness at every turn.” Prior to this she had said she would be “taking on President Trump and looking at all the violations of law” which she characterized as “no match to what I have seen in my lifetime.” This is basically the top law enforcement official in the state saying, “You give the man, Donald Trump, and I’ll find a crime.”
