The tables may finally be turning on one of the Democrats’ most aggressive partisan warriors. Reports suggest that Attorney General Pam Bondi has directed Ed Martin—Trump’s “weaponization czar”—to dig into none other than New York Attorney General Letitia James, the same prosecutor who made a career of targeting Donald Trump and his businesses.
🚨 NEW: Ed Martin, the special prosecutor investigating Letitia James for mortgage fraud, has been SPOTTED outside her home in NYC
The walls are closing in on Big Tish 🤣
I can’t WAIT to see this mugshot. Ed Martin won’t stop until she’s behind bars.

According to chatter online, Martin was even spotted outside James’s New York City residence, where a curious neighbor filmed him checking out the block. The clip went viral, with many amused viewers comparing Martin’s trench-coat presence to Peter Falk’s Columbo—polite, almost unassuming, yet unmistakably deliberate. The neighbor’s tone-deaf attempt to scold Martin for simply standing outside the building only added to the spectacle, cementing the sense that James and her allies are more concerned with optics than accountability.
It’s a public sidewalk and this woman is freaking out on them. Hilarious. It’s also NYC. The walls are flowing in on the Left and they’re losing control. That’s why they’re freaking out like this.
Ed Martin is a hero. God speed.

The focus of the investigation? Mortgage fraud. Details remain scarce, but if Bondi’s DOJ is sending Martin in to peel back the layers of James’s financial dealings, it could mark the beginning of a reckoning. James built her brand as the activist AG who proudly promised to “get Trump,” and she followed through with a flurry of lawsuits and investigations—most of which fizzled out or looked increasingly like political vendettas rather than impartial law enforcement.
What was he looking for? That’s all I would like to know. Plus it’s not that lady’s problem. Does she think they are reporters.

But accountability cuts both ways. If James bent or broke the law in her own dealings while trying to paint herself as the scourge of corruption, she will now face the same scrutiny she unleashed on others. And that irony isn’t lost on Trump supporters who, for years, have watched her weaponize her office to advance political goals.
He’s even got HIS COLUMBO JACKET so we know he’s NOT PLAYING GAMES.

Social media commenters have made no secret of their feelings: many hope that James ends up behind the same bars she tried to place Trump in. Whether or not that outcome materializes, the fact that she’s even under the microscope is a dramatic turn in the saga of lawfare that has defined American politics in recent years.
