The New Woman in Trump’s Life

The New Woman in Trump’s Life

Coming into his life in his dreadful new year will be New York Attorney General-elect, Letitia James, a strong Black woman and Trump’s new nightmare. With his business and campaign falling in her jurisdiction, and having said she will go after both, no doubt with the same tenacity she’s shown as Public Advocate, James is about to become the most visible and powerful state attorney general in the country. Like Special Counsel Robert Mueller, her name will be in all media, all the time. After that, it is not at all impossible to imagine the governorship and even a presidential run in 2026.

They will initiate proposals for infrastructure, health care, climate change, and dare the Republicans in the Senate not to pass them. At the same time, all those folks that Mueller doesn’t want to call in, people like Jared Kushner or Don Trump, Jr., the House will be subpoenaing for testimony. They will either take the Fifth Amendment against self-incrimination, or a sworn oath, knowing that Mueller and his team are watching. Knowing that every word they speak conforms to the text messages, emails, security intercepts, secret subpoenaed phone records, etc., that the Special Counsel’s office has, ready to spot any lie.
