It’s official! New York’s refrigerator-built Attorney General Letitia James is under a criminal FBI investigation for allegations of mortgage fraud. How ironic is it that “Big Tish” is now under investigation for the same crime that she falsely accused President Donald Trump of committing?

Last month, a Trump administration official made a criminal referral to the Department of Justice over James’s childishly transparent crimes. We adopted a skeptical wait-and-see approach as to whether James would actually be put under investigation. It’s no secret that we don’t have high hopes for Pfizer’s lawyer, Pam Bondi, in her role as US Attorney General.

But, credit where credit is due: Bondi sent the criminal referral to the Albany office, and the US Attorney and FBI there are now looking into Letitia James’s sketchy mortgage purchases.

Some people are scratching their heads over why Bondi sent the referral to Albany. Letitia James’s alleged mortgage fraud crimes happened in New York City and Virginia. We’ll have to see how this plays out.

James appears to have a long track record of committing fraud to obtain favorable interest rates on mortgage loans. If you’ve been paying close attention—that was the same crime she accused Donald Trump of committing.

Letitia James finished law school back in the 1980s. She then purchased a home in New York City. She claimed that her father was actually her husband on the mortgage documents, no doubt to secure a lower interest rate with him as the co-signer. When she sold the home in the early 2000s, she signed another document claiming that her dad was her husband.

In another instance that investigative journalists uncovered, James purchased a five-unit rental property in New York City. She claimed that the property only had four units in order to access a special low-interest federal loan.

Last year, right before she launched her lawfare attack against President Trump, James purchased two modest homes in Virginia. On the mortgage documents for both of those properties, she claimed that they would be her “primary residence.” This was done to secure lower interest rates on both homes.

When reporters stopped by, both Virginia homes were being rented out to other people. Letitia James doesn’t live in either one.

If she had moved into either of the homes, she would have been in an even bigger pickle. New York officials are required to live in the state of New York. If James had been using either one of those homes as her primary residence, she would have effectively vacated the office of New York Attorney General before she prosecuted Donald Trump on false charges of mortgage fraud.

James has already lawyered up and offered an excuse to why she made false statements on at least five mortgage documents in two states. She says these were all mistakes. In other words, she’s a really dumb person and a bad lawyer.

While we are certainly willing to concede those points to her, it doesn’t change the fact that Big Tish appears to have broken the law many more times than the average person. Some of these alleged crimes were committed while she was in office as Attorney General.

This will be a big test for Pam Bondi. Will Letitia James end up doing real jail time, just as a normal person would for doing the same thing? Or will she get that special get-out-of-jail treatment that most Democrat politicians seem to have access to?

Here’s the part that should really annoy all the voters in New York. They may have to pay for James’s legal defense.

A New York law sets aside a $10 million defense fund that state officials can use for “reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses.” This only became a new law in New York on January 1, 2025. Sources have told the New York Post that the language creating this taxpayer-funded pool of money was specifically written with Letitia James in mind. Some of the Democrats in New York were worried that the same rules they applied to Donald Trump would also apply to them when he was back in power.

Well, guess what, Democrats?

“No one is above the law!”
