The following includes editorial content that is the opinion of the writer, a retired Chief of Police and current staff writer for Law Enforcement Today.
BROOKLYN, NY- Letitia James, the Democrat-hack New York attorney general, likes to bloviate about “nobody being above the law.” Of course, she says this about former President Donald Trump.
When it comes to herself, however, that is a different story. Previously hidden documents show that James may have a money problem—a dark money problem. And Laura Loomer brought the receipts to her piece on Substack.
Think about it. Like other politicians among both parties, including the current occupant of the White House, James has managed to pad her bank account while working most of her life in the public sector, which isn’t intended to be a path to great wealth.
That hasn’t stopped lawmakers such as Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), Maxine Waters (D-Calif.), and many others from accumulating tremendous wealth.
Somehow, living on a public servant’s salary, James could afford a sweet four-story brownstone in the borough of Brooklyn, which she purchased in 2001, now believed to be worth several million dollars.
Over the years, James has had several, shall we say, illegal renovations done to her 296 Lafayette Ave. home. In 2007, she was cited for a “hazardous” violation by the NYC building department for improper scaffolding installation around her home, nor did the scaffold workers possess proper identification. Probably those illegal “migrants” James is constantly wailing about protecting.
In 2011, despite owning a home worth seven figures, James negotiated a deal to lower her monthly mortgage by crying poverty and applying for a Home Affordable Mortgage Modification Agreement.
In the affidavit, among other claims, James said she was “experiencing a financial hardship, and as a result, (i) I am in default under the Loan Documents, and (ii) I do not have sufficient income or access to sufficient liquid assets to make the monthly mortgage payments now or in the future.”
In 2017, James, then a candidate for New York Attorney General, who campaigned on a promise to “get Trump,” remodified her several mortgages into one loan for $625,000. However, a mysterious affidavit was attached with a note from an attorney for Wells Fargo Bank, Willard F. Miller.
That note referenced an additional loan issued previously in the amount of $770,000 on May 21, 2016, by Christopher J. French and Kristen French. The affidavit was attached and recorded with her latest mortgage consolidation filed in Nassau County, New York.
Loomer noted that there doesn’t appear to be any financial connection with Christopher or Kristen French anywhere in the United States, leading one to believe these names were an alias to hide the appearance of so-called dark money in Letitia James’ bank accounts.
Upon conducting research, were there any financial or professional ties between James and individuals in New York bearing the surname French who were connected to the Democratic Party in New York?
One possibility is a man named Christian J. French, the COO of WRNN, a regional news network that serves New York City. He is a long-time hater of former President Trump. U.S. partners of WRNN include Al Jazeera English.
Moreover, Christian French’s brother hosts a far-left talk show, “Richard French Live.” At the same time, Christian is allegedly a board member of several leftist organizations that do business in New York City and New York State.
Christian French’s LinkedIn profile shows he is president of the board of directors for Hudson Link. On its website, that organization calls itself a “progressive” organization that:
“…provides college education, life skills, and reentry support to currently and formerly incarcerated people so they can make a positive impact on their own lives, their families, and communities, resulting in lower rates of recidivism and higher rates of employment, community regenerations, cohesiveness, and reciprocity.”
In a likely connection to James, one of Hudson Link’s Board of Directors members is Annette Johnson, who at one time served as the Assistant Attorney General in the New York State Attorney General’s Office, where Letitia James now serves.
Another connection involves another board member for Hudson Links, Mayo Bartlett, the principal attorney at the Law Offices of Mayo Bartlett, PLLC. He regularly appeared on “Richard French Live” on WRNN as a legal panel member.
On June 15, 2022, May appeared on a legal panel with James while he displayed a banner boasting of his appearance on the panel with her prominently on his firm’s website.
Richard French, on the RNN-TV website, brags about his ties to former President Barack Obama:
“The Emmy Award-winning program is a forum that counts politicians, pundits, and personalities as contributors ranging from President Obama to the biggest newsmakers from the national to regional level. A multiple Emmy and state broadcaster awardee, Richard came to broadcasting from the world of politics.”
He is also an avid Trump hater, with most episodes on his YouTube channel featuring anti-Trump content.
The $770,000 loan that James has been burying and hiding on her financial disclosures is nowhere to be found in the 34-page 11/3/2017 mortgage agreement recorded with the Office of the Register in New York City’s Department of Finance. Nor did she mention the $770,000 loan on financial disclosure forms filed with the state election commission during her campaign for NYS Attorney General.
“Nobody is above the law.” Except for Letitia James, that is. Failure to disclose the loan on financial disclosures is illegal. What exactly is James trying to hide? For someone who likes to bloviate about Donald Trump’s alleged “crimes,” she has her own questionable financial hijinks to answer for.
Loomer has the receipts and published a copy of James’s 2022 financial disclosure statement, which only addressed the $625,000 mortgage from Wells Fargo, not mentioning the origins of the $770,000 loan from French. It also addressed loans from Citizens Bank, First Savings Bank, and Citibank, all worth a minimum of $100,000 each.
The amusing part is that James is going after President Trump for allegedly “overvaluing” his properties and business assets. Yet she has evidently buried a $700,000 loan. There is also the issue of who is Christopher French. Did James use a fake name on a sworn and signed affidavit, which is illegal?
As Loomer suggests, it is unknown, but all of this seems to warrant an investigation by the New York State Inspector General. We won’t hold our breath.
