Two years ago today, Donald Trump was forced to take a mugshot in Georgia. That moment symbolized the left’s ongoing campaign to weaponize justice against conservatives, to turn the legal system into a political tool rather than an impartial institution.
Democrats and the media called it accountability, but it was nothing more than political persecution.
Now, exactly two years later, New York Attorney General Letitia James is facing serious allegations of mortgage fraud, and she is claiming that the investigation into her conduct is nothing but the weaponization of justice.
LETITIA JAMES, YOU ARE THE WORST OF THE WORST.@BrandonStraka @gatewaypundit

The irony could not be more striking.
Letitia James ran for attorney general with one clear promise: to get Trump.
She campaigned on the idea that if elected she would target the President. When the state’s top law enforcement officer uses her office as a weapon to destroy political opponents, the rule of law collapses.
It turns the United States into the very kind of banana republic our country has always stood against. Yet James now wants the public to believe that she is the victim of the very tactics she built her career on.
The truth is that the case against her is very real and very serious. Bill Pulte, the newly confirmed Director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, has laid out a detailed record of alleged misconduct.
He oversees the institutions that regulate America’s housing finance system, and he has accused James of falsifying records to secure favorable mortgage terms.
If proven true, these allegations could bring charges of wire fraud, bank fraud, mail fraud, and making false statements to financial institutions.
WATCH: Massive KARMA For Deranged Anti-Trump Attorney General Letitia James!
One example involves a home James purchased in Norfolk, Virginia, in 2023. As New York’s attorney general, she was legally required to maintain her primary residence in New York.
Yet mortgage applications for the Virginia property listed it as her principal residence. By doing so, she secured lower interest rates designed for primary homes.
If she never truly intended to live there, that would constitute a false statement to a lender.
The allegations also stretch back further. In 2001, she purchased a five-unit apartment building in Brooklyn but obtained financing as if it had only four units, which allowed her to qualify for a conforming loan at a better rate.
Even earlier, in 1983, she and her father signed mortgage documents identifying themselves as husband and wife, a misrepresentation that could have been used to meet lender requirements.
These patterns, if accurate, show decades of deception.
The Department of Justice does not take cases it cannot win. With a conviction rate of roughly 98%, federal prosecutors move forward only when they believe the evidence is overwhelming.
James spent her career accusing Trump of inflating property values and misrepresenting financial records. Now she is accused of doing the exact same thing.
If the charges stick, her credibility as attorney general collapses completely. Every prosecution she ever pursued will come under question. Her career was sustained only because she made herself into the face of the anti-Trump resistance. Without that, she has nothing.
The worst hypocrisy is her attempt to play the victim. She says the DOJ’s investigation into her is political.
But the real weaponization of justice happened when Republicans like Steve Bannon, Brandon Straka, Roger Stone, Rudy Giuliani, and dozens of others were targeted simply because of their politics.
The real weaponization was when Donald Trump’s mugshot was taken two years ago, while James and her allies cheered.
If the evidence proves that she lied on mortgage applications, misrepresented her residency, or falsified property details, then she deserves to face justice.
Unlike the baseless prosecutions she pursued against conservatives, this case would be about actual crimes.
