James’s NY state ethics disclosures indicate that she didn’t rent the Virginia property out for very long.

In her 2020 disclosure, she reported that she received between $1,000-$5,000 in rent from the property.

In 2021, she reported no rental income from the property.

Indictment alleges that James claimed the property as a 2nd home but used it as a rental investment property.

It says she rented the property out but conveniently doesn’t specify the timeframe or duration.

That’s notable bc you can rent out a 2nd home and the rider allows short-term rentals.

1/
On or about August 17, 2020, JAMES, as sole borrower, purchased the three (3) bedroom, (1) bathroom property located at 3121 Peronne Avenue, Norfolk, Virginia 23509 (the "Peronne Property"), for approximately $137,000, financed with a mortgage loan of approximately $109,600 (Loan #4430025978) backed by Fannie Mae. 6. The loan was originated by OVM Financial under a signed Second Home Rider, which required JAMES, as the sole borrower to occupy and use the property as her secondary residence, and prohibited its use as a timesharing or other shared ownership arrangement or agreement that requires her either to rent the property or give any other person any control over the occupancy or use of the property. 7. Despite these representations, the Peronne Property was not occupied or used by JAMES as a secondary residence and was instead used as a rental investment property, renting the property to a family of (3). 8. This misrepresentation allowed JAMES to obtain favorable loan terms not available for In addition to the covenants and agreements made in the security Instrument Borrower and Lender further covenant and agree that Sections 6 and 8 of the Security Instrument are deleted and are replaced by the following: 6. Occupancy, Borrower will occupy and use the Property as Borrower's second home. Borrower will maintain exclusive control over the occupancy of the Property, including short-term rentals, and will not subject the Property to any timesharing or other shared ownership arrangement or to any rental pool or agreement that requires Borrower either to rent the Property or give a management firm or any other person or entity any control over the occupancy or use of the Property. Borrower will keep the Property available primarily as a residence for Borrower's personal use and enjoyment for at least one year after the date of this Second Home Rider, unless Lender otherwise agrees in writing, which consent shall not be unreasonably with-held, or unless extenuating circumstances exist which are beyond Borrower's control. 8. Borrower's Loan Application. Borrower shall be in default it, during the Loan application process, Borrower or any persons or entities acting at the direction of Borrower or with Borrower's knowledge or consent gave materally false, mislead-ing, or inaccurate information or statements to Lender (or failed to provide Lender with material information) in connection with the Loan. Material representations include, but are not limited to, representations concerning Borrower's occupancy of the Property as Borrower's second home. BY SIGNING BELOW, Borrower accepts and agrees to the terms and covenants contained in this Second Home Rider.

Republicans in Congress strangely silent on the Argentina bailout to benefit Bessent’s friends.

It also helps you to avoid talking about it when you are never asked about it.

This is mercantilism. The president is the master of a big tax farm, and you’re the cash cow. The country is considered rich insofar as money flows toward the ruler and then stops.

Every modern economic theory, from Marxism to Milton Friedman, has rejected mercantilist thinking.

For Judge April Perry, it came down to credibility.

The Trump administration's "perception of events" in Chicago "are simply unreliable," she said. So she blocked Nat Guard deployment in IL, for now.

Judge's order bars 'federalization and deployment of the National Guard of the United States within Illinois' for at least 14 days.

Yes, I am aware of what the passage is about, thanks. I wrote a whole article about it: www.lawfaremedia.org/article/what...

In the context of vindictive prosecution discovery, I think any such “intrusion” on the executive must yield to defendant’s constitutional rights. Will SCOTUS think that? Idk
What’s Going On in Footnote 3?
A close read of the most impenetrable and elusive passage of the Supreme Court’s immunity decision.

James sued Trump, members of his family and the Trump Organization in a civil fraud case in 2022. Two years later, a judge found Trump liable for conspiring to manipulate his net worth and ordered him to pay $355 million, plus interest, in penalties.

Letitia James and James Comey have the best lawyers on earth and will almost certainly be fine. The fact that there’s a zillion stories about them and virtually none about NSPM-7 - which affects countless ordinary people - really says something about who the media writes for

My question is, if she is such a great Republican candidate for VA Gov why hasn’t Trump endorsed her, campaigned for her, or even talked about her?

Important discovery fight taking shape in Kilmar Abrego Garcia's criminal case.

The question: Can the government assert privilege to avoid handing over documents that may be relevant to a defendant's vindictive prosecution claim?

Abrego's counsel says no.
