Letitia James, the self-declared hammer of justice, the crusader-in-chief who rose to prominence on the promise to “get Trump,” is now trudging through the campaign trail—indicted, defiant, and clinging to the same moral high ground she once weaponized. This time, though, the air is a little thinner, the pedestal a bit wobblier.
James is rallying support for Zohran Mamdani, a progressive darling, while under indictment for—wait for it—mortgage fraud. It’s a charge that might have felt unremarkable if it weren’t for the fact that this is exactly the arena in which she has spent the last few years dragging Donald Trump through the mud.
Letitia James ran for NY AG on a platform of lawfare.
As she engaged in political weaponization, she’d taunt Republicans with the phrase, “No one is above the law.”
Now, it turns out she was defrauding mortgage companies the whole time. Letitia, you’re not above the law either. pic.twitter.com/4JAia5pIoR

It was mortgage fraud that became the pretext for a trial against the president. A trial that, by most legal standards, was questionable at best. Still, James marched forward, pledging prosecution before evidence, promising conviction before investigation. It was always about politics, never justice.
But now the story has flipped.
Must Watch! You won’t see this guy on CNN!
Every single mortgage document Letitia James signed over the last 42 years had “falsified information” this was not a “one-off” pic.twitter.com/SuU4CNoQZJ— Vince Langman (@LangmanVince) October 12, 2025
The charge against James isn’t just technical—it’s audacious. Filing paperwork stating she would live in Virginia while actively serving as New York’s Attorney General. Maintaining her full-time role. Prosecuting Trump. All while allegedly securing a mortgage under false pretenses. And the kicker? The house she “bought” is now allegedly housing her fugitive niece, wanted in North Carolina.
The very person who told America that “nobody is above the law” may have just broken federal law to help someone evade it.

That’s not lawfare. That’s hubris. It’s also poetic.
The legal process will play out. But the public optics are already damning. This isn’t just a paperwork error. This is the state’s top law enforcement officer accused of manipulating the system she was elected to defend. If that doesn’t shake confidence in the institutions she represents, what would?
Mortgage fraud is either really serious or not a big deal, it all depends on if it’s Trump people being charged or Letitia James.

And what of the media? The same outlets that breathlessly covered every Trump courtroom sketch, every Trump real estate detail, now collectively shrug. “Everybody does it,” they suggest. But no—most people don’t commit mortgage fraud to shelter a fugitive relative. Most people don’t build their careers on selective prosecutions. And most people don’t shout “nobody is above the law” while standing ankle-deep in legal quicksand of their own making.
Letitia James may still have loyal defenders. But the mirror she held up to Trump is now facing her—and the reflection is less crusader, more cautionary tale.
