Watchdog Files Bar Complaint Against New York AG James
1st May 2025
New York Attorney General Letitia James—already facing a federal criminal referral—now faces a potential state probe regarding her reporting of properties she owns in Virginia.
America First Legal, a conservative government watchdog, filed a bar complaint against James with the New York Committee on Professional Standards, seeking an investigation into the statements made in a criminal referral the Federal Housing Finance Agency sent to the U.S. Justice Department.
Long prominent in New York politics, James became a national figure when her office sued and won against then-former President Donald Trump when he was out of office and running for another term in 2024. She alleged Trump’s companies falsified information to obtain loans.
I dislike the term ‘watchdog’, which implies a degree of official sanction that rarely exists. I can’t think of a better one, though, for people who specialize in snooping on other people who may be doing something they don’t like; God knows there are enough of them on the Left, each and every one of which is called a ‘watchdog’ by the Narrative Media. My wife calls such people ‘Gladys’, the old busybody who is always peering out from behind the curtains at doings in the neighborhood of which she might disapprove–I guess the current tag is ‘Karen’.
Still, I’m glad that somebody is keeping an eye on James, who has shown a very Democrat devotion to abusing her office in pursuit of people she (and the people who vote for her) dislike.
