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.
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.
