The (many) indictments of Donald Trump

From the article:
“A three-judge panel on the appeals court ruled that it “cannot be confident” a lower judge adequately considered Trump’s arguments as he sought to move the case.”
“The court bypassed what we consider to be important issues bearing on the ultimate issue of good cause,” the panel wrote.”

Tl;dr: district court applied the wrong standard to an uncommon situation. If they apply the correct standard, their decision will probably be upheld.

District court. It’s an abuse of discretion standard of review which basically means “did the judge apply the correct legal framework?”

They’re sending it back to the district court with an explanation of the standard they want him to apply. If he applies it, the appellate court will almost certainly uphold his decision.

Beyond that, who knows.

Cops Called To Letitia James’ Virginia Homes Two Dozen Times Since She Bought Them​


NORFOLK, Virginia — The two houses at the center of New York Attorney General Letitia James’ legal trouble have been magnets for police activity since she bought them — with cops dispatched two dozen times since her ne’er-do-well kin moved in, The Post has learned.

James’ serial crook grandniece, Nakia Thompson, 36, moved into one home with her three children soon after James closed on the house in August 2020, for which she paid $137,000.

Since then, cops have been summoned to the residence on 12 occasions, according to police records — including several instances in which they were called multiple times in a day.

Cops went out to the house for issuing warrants and subpoenas — as well as for incidents labeled vandalism, domestic issues and for suspicious persons.

James’ purchase of two small houses in Norfolk — which she says were both for her family members — landed her in legal hot water.

In October, she was indicted on federal bank fraud charges, which allege she misrepresented how she would use the property she bought in 2020 in order to obtain a more favorable loan interest rate.

One Norfolk residence belonging to James, occupied by her “fugitive” grandniece Nakia Thompson, garnered 12 police service calls since 2020 — six of them in the first two weeks of October 2025 alone.

Rather than occupying the residence herself — as loan paperwork bearing James’ signature indicated she would be doing despite working over 300 miles away — the homes have been occupied by troubled relatives of the AG with extensive criminal histories.

At the home James bought in 2020, three of the calls were placed the year she bought it, one each in 2021, 2022 and 2023 — and six in the first two weeks of October this year.

Clinton-Tapped Judge Could Toss Tish James, James Comey Cases after hearing arguments Trump’s prosecutor is illegitimate​


ALEXANDRIA, Va. — A federal judge on Thursday suggested that she could toss the charges against ex-FBI boss James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James because she agrees with their arguments that the prosecutor who brought the cases is illegitimate.

Alexandria District Judge Cameron McGowan Currie, who was appointed to the bench by former President Bill Clinton, appeared skeptical toward several of the government’s arguments about why the appointment of Lindsey Halligan as interim US Attorney in the Eastern District of Virginia was above board.

At the core of the argument is the question of whether the US Attorney General — in this case Pam Bondi — can make multiple interim appointments to fill a US attorney position.

FBI Doubted Probable Cause for Mar-a-Lago Raid but pushed forward amid pressure from Biden DOJ, emails reveal​


EXCLUSIVE: The FBI did not believe it had probable cause to raid President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home in 2022, but moved forward amid pressure from the Biden Justice Department, with an official saying he didn’t "give a damn about the optics" of the search, newly declassified documents reviewed by Fox News Digital reveal.

Fox News Digital reviewed emails between FBI and Justice Department officials in the months leading up to the August 2022 raid of Mar-a-Lago, with FBI officials expressing concerns about a lack of probable cause to execute the search warrant on the then-former president's residence in Palm Beach, Florida.

BREAKING: Michael Cohen Says He Was ‘Coerced’ And ‘Pressured’ By Bragg, James To Testify Against Trump​


"I felt pressured and coerced to only provide information and testimony ... against President Trump."


WASHINGTON — After years of criticizing Donald Trump, the president’s former lawyer, Michael Cohen, is admitting that he was “pressured” and “coerced” by Alvin Bragg and Letitia James to testify against Donald Trump.

In an astonishing Substack post published Friday evening, Cohen writes that he “felt pressured and coerced to only provide information and testimony that would satisfy the government’s desire to build the cases against and secure a judgment and convictions against President Trump.” He said the feeling began from his very first meetings with the lawyers working with Bragg and James, New York’s attorney general.

Specifically regarding James, he said he felt “compelled and coerced to deliver what they were seeking.”

“Letitia James made it publicly known during her 2018 campaign for attorney general that, if elected, she would go after President Trump,” Cohen writes in the post. “Her office made clear that the testimony they wanted from me was testimony that would help them do just that. Again, I felt compelled and coerced to deliver what they were seeking.”

In a Friday night phone conversation, Donald Trump told The Daily Wire that this was further proof that it was a “very corrupt investigation” that Cohen testified in. Trump has long held that Cohen is a liar, and was only cooperating to get his prison sentence reduced.

Cohen served prison time after he pleaded guilty in 2018 to multiple crimes, including lying to Congress. He also admitted during Trump’s hush money trial that he stole tens of thousands from the Trump Organization in 2017.

“I am not writing this to defend Donald Trump, nor to relitigate his conduct,” he writes. “That ground has been plowed endlessly, often loudly, and rarely thoughtfully. I am writing because I have seen this system from the inside, not as an observer or analyst, but as a central subpoenaed participant. When courts now revisit questions of jurisdiction, immunity, and evidentiary boundaries, they are not engaging in sterile procedural debates. They are exposing how justice is pursued, how power is applied, and how outcomes are shaped well before verdicts are rendered.”

“During my time with prosecutors, both in preparation for and during the trials, it was clear they were interested only in testimony from me that would enable them to convict President Trump,” he wrote. “When my testimony was insufficient for a point the prosecution sought to make, prosecutors frequently asked inappropriate leading questions to elicit answers that supported their narrative.”

Cohen says that he also felt coerced and pressured into giving answers that supported the narrative from James, as her office made it very clear to him that they wanted testimony that would help them go after Trump.

Bump, just so folks can mine this thread for posts by the same folks that are clutching their pearls about the Fed being investigated.

840 pages rejoicing the fact that DoJs were weaponized against political foes. Let's keep it counting.
