more on taking the 5th ======= Shortly before the scheduled deposition Wednesday morning, Trump posted three videos on his Truth Social account that point the finger at one person: Letisha James. The New York attorney general ran for office on the platform that she’d get Donald Trump.
Later, after Trump arrived at James’s “plush office,” he issued a statement saying he would invoke his Fifth Amendment right to remain silent.
Trump posted the three videos on Wednesday to spotlight James, the person behind another legal “witch hunt” against him, currently underway in New York. James is shown repeatedly promising to “get” Trump as she was running for New York attorney general. “We’re gonna sue him, we’re gonna be a real pain in the ass,” she promised voters before being elected to office. In another video, she says, “what is fueling my soul is Trump.”
The former president also issued a statement on Truth Social about the depositions, the witch hunt, and invoking his 5th Amendment privilege.
Trump stated, “Letitia James opening campaigned on the policy of ‘Get and Destroy Trump.’ This political attack on me, my family, and my great company is her despicable attempt to fulfill that cynical, and very corrupt promise.” Later, he said she “colluded with others to carry out this phony, years-long crusade that wasted countless taxpayer dollars all in an effort to prop up her political career.” He said that “what Letitia James has tried to do in the last three years is a disgrace to the legal system.”
And then Trump delivered the knock-out punch: he’s invoking his Fifth Amendment privilege to stay silent.
A local fellow got busted with three kilos of cocaine.
When he went to court he decried the injustice of it all... because the prosecutor and the cops didn't like him. They're naturally prejudiced against cocaine traffickers. It's manifestly unjust.
hap, James campaigned in 2018 for the position which already had a number of cases going again your criminal hero Trump. In 2018 anyone paying attention would have known all about Trump. Even any interested Australians knew then what a crooked actor he had been all his adult life. LOLOL What does Trump saying "Trump said James "literally campaigned on prosecuting Donald Trump even before she knew anything about me." mean? Nothing. It's obviously just another 'pull it out of his ass' liar's statement . Your using his bullshit in his own defense is laughable. Letitia James took over from Underwood in 2018.
Barbara Underwood Approved as State Attorney General; First Woman to Hold Post By Jesse McKinley May 22, 2018 [...] Ms. Underwood has taken over an office that has been shocked and rattled by the accusations against Mr. Schneiderman, who had been involved in dozens of battles with Mr. Trump, including one over Trump University, which resulted in a $25 million settlement paid to the state just after the 2016 election. More recently, Mr. Schneiderman had announced an effort to change state law to allow him to charge anyone pardoned by the president.
In her interview in Albany last week, Ms. Underwood said she intended to maintain an aggressive approach to Mr. Trump, saying, “The cause of justice and the rule of law have come increasingly under threat” during his administration. Citing the office’s efforts to fight both the president’s travel ban and his attempts to undermine the Affordable Care Act, among other policies, she said, “And I assure you the work will continue, uninterrupted.”
No one here is surprised you, in the face of all the evidence over years, still believe Trump speaks the truth.
""I once asked, 'If you're innocent, why are you taking the Fifth Amendment?' Now I know the answer to that question," Trump wrote in announcing his decision to invoke his right against self-incrimination. "When your family, your company and all the people in your orbit have become the targets of an unfounded, politically motivated Witch Hunt supported by lawyers, prosecutors and the Fake News Media, you have no choice." [...] Trump said James "literally campaigned on prosecuting Donald Trump even before she knew anything about me." https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2022/08/10/trump-deposition-new-york-investigation/10284763002/"
