NEW YORK (Yaakov M / VINnews) — Far-left Laetitia James has filed a massive lawsuit against the Trump family, accusing them of civil fraud.

This is another example of Trump-haters on the left weaponizing the justice system against the former President.

Even Bill Barr, who has been critical of President Trump recently, called this a “political hit job” and said this is an “example of…Trump derangement syndrome.”

This lawsuit by the Democrat NY Attorney General, who relishes the spotlight, is the latest in a series of political witch-hunts.

Donald Trump has been exonerated more times than Joe Biden has said “Come on man!”, yet they continue to find new things to investigate.

Former Attorney General William Barr said on Fox News that the suit is a “political hit job” and James is guilty of “gross overreach” for dragging Trump’s children in.

“It’s hard for me not to conclude it’s a political hit job,” Barr said. “I’m not even sure if she has a good case against Trump himself. But what ultimately persuades me that this is a political hit job is she grossly overreaches when she tries to drag the children into this.”

“Yes, they had roles in the business,” he continued. “But this was his personal financial statement. It was prepared by the CFO, accounting firms were involved in it. Listen, the children aren’t going to know the details of that … nor are they expected in the real world to do their own due diligence.”

James announced the $250 million civil lawsuit against Trump, in addition to Don Jr, Ivanka, and Eric. In the massive 200 page lawsuit, she accused the Trumps of manipulating asset value, and is seeking to ban them from being “an officer or director in any corporation” or similar entity in New York.

Both Eric and Donald Jr. have tweeted clips of James’s past remarks, in which she pledged to make life difficult for President Trump.

“I think [it] is gonna end up backfiring on them because I think it will make people sympathetic for Trump. This is another example of people piling on because of a Trump derangement syndrome,” Barr added.

Barr famously had a falling out with Trump at the end of his tenure, over Barr’s refusal to agree that the 2020 election was stolen.

Billy Barr is a political hack who deliberately misrepresented the Mueller Report to give a false impression that it cleared Trump. Here he is playing games again. No surprise.

Don’t forget this is the same Barr who quit after Jan 6 and has stated numerous times that trump lost fair and square. Folks like Charles Hall and Gersey should respect him since he is on your side. Its a shame that you don’t see the obvious.

The key issue with the Tish investigation is, she is only doing it because its poltical revenge against trump for winning in 2016. These crimes could have been investiagted away before 2016 too. So why did they all wake up now? Now lest we have Phineas’s immaterial response that its only an issue after Cohen, let me debunk that now. Listen I don’t know about techincalities. But I’ll tell you this. Trump has been in shady businesses for 40 years. If they spent as much time digging then as they do now, you really think they couldn’t find a gottcha moment? they never spent the time before hand. Why not? Because its all politcal theater.

Trump’s kids were supposed to be running the business while Trump was in the White House. Barr knows this and lies. He also knows that the facts of the Trump Organization falsifying property values makes this an open and shut case. Two sets of books is the oldest fraud game in the book.

What is scary is the number of Jews who defend this conduct.
