Donald Trump’s top housing official Bill Pulte issued two new criminal referrals for New York Attorney General Letitia James on Wednesday, attempting to revive the administration’s ongoing legal pursuit of one of his political opponents.
According to a person familiar with the matter, Pulte, the director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, issued two referrals to the Justice Department, one to the US Attorney for Northern District of Illinois and another to the US Attorney for Southern District of Florida.
If federal prosecutors were to pursue a new set of charges based on Pulte’s recommendation now, the case may look substantially like the Trump Justice Department’s failed fraud case last year against James in the Eastern District of Virginia.
Warning: this is what happens when you cut a hole into your skull and start pissing into it.
She’s too smart for them. They don’t like that.
She’s the only state-level official a New Yorker can like at this point.
Southern District of Florida? Isn’t that the same crooked judge that slow walked Trump’s indictments? I-Lean Q-Anon?
This website for SDFL lists 29 district judges that a prospective case could land with (not including the one retired listing), but one of those is indeed Aileen Cannon.
It doesn’t rank that high among the admin’s decisions but it still feels bizarre to me that Gamestop memestock grifter Bill Pulte got to be an important market regulator. I guess the main qualification is being willing to abuse the office for revenge like this.The Pulte family business is building shitty McMansions in Arizona. So there’s at least a vague kakistocratic connection.
@MicroWave This is bad stupid. The Courts should start sanctioning every attorney that brings this type of legal action from Donald Trump or his criminal administration.
Some are. far too few and far too slowly, but it is starting.
They should. Instead, they are watching judge Cannon in Florida and taking notes. Rumor says she’s got the next Supreme Court seat locked.
@manxu Oh I’ve been waiting for an opening to occur. My bet is with you!
And my bet is it’s going to be Sotomayor’s seat!
