New York State Attorney General Letitia (Tish) James is a power woman. The 67th New York State attorney general stands six feet tall, but her demeanor is such that she would throw terror into the worst criminals if she was only five feet tall. Saturday, she recognized the power in another woman, former California Attorney General, US Senator, and now Vice President-Elect Kamala Harris.
The first woman to hold this attorney general office in New York tweeted about Harris and Biden, calling theirs a “victory for the soul of our nation:”
‘Under the leadership of President-elect @JoeBiden and Vice President-elect @KamalaHarris, the promise of America is bright. This is a victory for the soul of our nation, and I look to the future with optimism and hope for all Americans.’
Attorney General Letitia (Tish) James watched Donald Trump’s Postmaster General Louis DeJoy’s performance in front of the House Oversight Committee from her Brooklyn home. The concern was that Donald Trump’s lackey would throw the integrity of the 2020 elections into doubt. After all, one of DeJoy’s first acts was to tear down and tear out the rapid sorting machines, according to The Vanity Fair’s The Hive.
James has been watching DeJoy for some time now, and later she would participate in a federal lawsuit in Washington, DC against him, the United States Postal Service, and Donald Trump for corruption relating to voter fraud.
Her office is also escalating a federal investigation into The Trump Organization, which is the umbrella organization for over 500 smaller entities and the now-defunct Trump Family Foundation. She asked a New York State Supreme Court judge to force Trump’s company to hand over the materials she needed to complete her investigation. She also requested from the state Supreme Court that the president’s middle son Eric Trump come to testify in person. She got both:
‘No one, not even the president of the United States, can use the law to advance his or her own political agenda. It’s that simple. If individuals want to critique me, that’s fine. It’s about the rule of law and standing up for what’s right. We’ve seen this federal government use the law to advance a political agenda on countless occasions.’
In 2013, James managed the Public Advocate’s Office and transformed it into a powerful watchdog for New York City’s “most vulnerable communities,” according to her Attorney General government page.
James has gone with special interest after the preditors on people with disabilities, immigrants, and those taking out loans.
