On the one hand, New York Attorney General Letitia James must be applauded. She conducted a thorough, three-year investigation of the Trump Organization, relying primarily on documents, emails, and other correspondence and has made a compelling case for what many on Wall Street already knew about Donald Trump, the businessman: that he is a lying, conniving charlatan for whom loyalty is a one-way street. Screw his creditors? No problem. Scam the public, and his investors? Sure. Stiff his general contractors, subcontractors and suppliers? Of course. James has done a great public service in starting the process by which Trump will be held accountable for his years of despicable behavior.
