Sam E. Antar is the architect of Donald Trump's mortgage fraud criminal case against New York Attorney General Letitia James. Antar apparently lacks formal credentials as a certified fraud examiner in mortgage lending .  There are holes in Antar’s so-called “mortgage fraud” analysis that are big enough to drive a caravan of Mack trucks through them without touching the sides. Finally, Antar's "mortgage fraud" theory is fatally flawed in profound ways.

In the face of Department of Justice-sanctioned vigilantism against Letitia James and Lisa Cook, National Democratic Party leaders have fallen silent. They are exhibiting extreme cowardice as the Donald Trump-inspired federal law enforcement posse engages in Lawfare against these iconic women. This failure of leadership has become a pattern and practice within the Party dating back to the DOJ's bogus business fraud case against distinguished investment banker Nathan A. Chap

Joe Biden’s Department of Justice prosecuted Baltimore state’s attorney Marilyn J. Mosby on trumped up mortgage fraud and perjury charges and secured convictions on both charges. Mosby was innocent of the charges against her, but this did not matter to Biden’s prosecutors. Donald Trump is using Biden's mortgage fraud playbook to go after New York Attorney General Letitia James and Federal Reserve Board member Lisa D. Cook on the same bogus charges. 

New York Attorney General Letitia James successfully prosecuted a civil business fraud case against then-businessman Donald Trump. Now, she faces "mortgage fraud" allegations from a Trump appointee to the Federal Housing Finance Agency who wants her prosecuted in a federal criminal proceeding. In our view, the "mortgage fraud" allegations against James are bogus and lack any legal merit. They evidence the beginning of Trump's implementation of "grudge justice."
