Visit t mobile.com when you have a corrupt indictment led by a corrupt Department of Justice, you get what just happened today, which is that a second grand jury now in a separate city in Virginia has also rejected the the attempts by the Trump administration to indict New York Attorney General Letitia James for mortgage fraud on Norfolk, Virginia grand jury rejected it last week. And Alexandria, Virginia grand jury rejected it today. When will they ever give up their lawless rogue crusade to pay back the political critics of Donald Trump? That's a rhetorical question. You're here on the Midas Touch Network and on Legal af. Lindsey Halligan even though she's still signing documents as and impersonating effectively a U.S. attorney. They should be. Somebody should arrest her for impersonating a U.S. attorney. She was nowhere in the attempt, failed attempt to get this indictment today. In other words, she was not a prosecutor in that room because she is not a prosecutor. Instead, a team apparently led by her number two, sort of a gray haired guy at a semi retirement named Robert McBride, they pulled out of Kentucky and sent him there to babysit Lindsey Halligan. He led a team. Now he's done this before. He's been an assistant U.S. attorney, he's been a criminal lawyer, he's worked for the Justice Department, he's in his 60s and he can't get it. Okay, first of all, grand juries can read. Grand juries in Norfolk, Virginia and in Alexandria, Virginia have known, just like you and I know about Letitia James case and the ins and outs of it, whether they're Midas touch, illegal AF andS or otherwise for the last couple of months. And so in order for a failed and failing Department of Justice with zero credibility and no shred of ethics to obtain the indictment, which is the charging document against somebody in a criminal case, you gotta be able to convince a jury of at least a grand jury of at least 14 people that it's worth the indictment. There's an old joke that's not holding steady here, which is, oh, a good prosecutor could indict a ham sandwich. These are not good prosecutors. This is a. These are prosecutors working within a hollowed out, illicit, corrupt Department of Justice whose reputation precedes it. So when they go in, I'm sure there was a fair amount of eye rolling in the grand jury when they found out that day that this is what they were being asked to consider. I'm not saying they ignored the evidence, but this has always been a weak case. And running around between Norfolk, Virginia, where the house at issue about the mortgage is located and then moving to Alexandria because you're trying to find a better your forum shopping, you're trying to find a better grand jury for you doesn't seem to be working because everybody reads social media and the news. What is the mortgage fraud? No, I mean seriously, what is the. What is the mortgage fraud? Letitia James is the New York Attorney General. She is the highest law enforcement officer for the state of New York. She has connectivity to the state of Virginia. She owns some investment property. She has one in Brooklyn. She has one, I think closer to, you know, in New York. She's got one in Virginia. She bought a house, a very modest house for $118,000. Some people might be thinking, when did she buy that house? Popak 1980. No, she bought it four years ago for $118,000. She took out $100,000 mortgage. The Trump administration, and Donald Trump in particular wants you to believe that to save 50 bucks a month. Five Starbucks. She checked the box to mislead the lender into believing that she was going to be Lee using it as her second home and never renting it out. And according to the evidence that's been presented in the public by her lawyer, Abby Lowell, for Letitia James, she doesn't rent it out. There is a niece with a couple of kids that live in the house. And when Letitia James is in town, she stays at the house as her second home. Now, the banks do due diligence. They have underwriting departments to figure out what property people have and if their representations are true or not. They know that she owns multiple properties. They know that she's the attorney General. And apparently, according to the reporting, that niece that lives in the house had the proxy to sign on the dotted line all the mortgage papers and she had the power of attorney. And it is a second home and it's not being rented out. Where is the rental agreement? Nowhere. That's why they're not able to get the indictment for mortgage fraud, because there's no mortgage fraud. Even Lindsey Halligan, when she once was in the case, didn't understand the case. She said, well, there's a $17,000 rental. Rental payment that was made. No, there's $17,000. If the interest rate that was charged over 30 years, it was instead of 3.5%. 3%. Then she saved $17,000 over a 30 year mortgage, hence 50 bucks a month.

So now they get rid of Lindsay Halligan because what they're trying to do is re indict with a clean indictment that doesn't have the Lindsey Halligan problem. Because Lindsey Halligan was fired by Judge Curry who sat by designation in the Eastern District of Virginia having found her to be illegally appointed. And because they found her to be illegally appointed, she also tossed the indictments that she obtained almost back to back. James Comey, former FBI director and Letitia James, New York Attorney General. Comey for perjury in front of Congress. And then this made up the cocktail. That's a legal term. You can look it up. Fakocta mortgage fraud case. They go without prejudice. For Comey, it's probably the end of the line because we're out of time to prosecute the perjury charge. And if the indictment was no indictment at all because it was issued from an illegal U.S. attorney, effectively somebody impersonating a U.S. attorney, that piece of paper is not recognized as an indictment. And the statute of limitations has run for Comey, for Letitia James. They still have time, probably another few years to get the indictment. But in order to get the indictment, you have to have some sort of credibility in front of grand jurors and this Department of Justice does it. See, people are watching. And all of the bashing of the rule of law and all of the bashing of federal judges and all of the defiant behavior and the open defiance of federal orders and the contempt of court and the criminal contempt of court proceedings are all piling up against the Trump administration. And people are watching and they're voting. We know they're voting. And new grand jurors are voting. This is just a continuation of a series of elections that have gone terribly for Donald Trump. Starting three weeks ago with election night in America with 30 seats flipped, flipping and winning from Pennsylvania down to Mississippi for the Democrats. Fast forward you've got brand new Democratic mayor elect of the city of Miami for the first time in 30 years, a blue. And you have this new vote of the grand jury. And. And let me just tell you, they have been shuffling back and forth between Norfolk, Virginia and Alexandria, Virginia, trying to whipsaw this indictment into. Into being, all with no, no success. Liz, you see, who used to be in the Eastern district of Virginia as a head of the major crimes unit in Norfolk, Virginia, wrote a memo to Lindsey Halligan telling her there's no mortgage fraud case here and she should not bring it and got fired because of it. And there was already a grand jury that looked at these issues and did not indict in Norfolk, Virginia. So Lindsey Allegan runs to Alexandria, Virginia and gets her indictment. Lord knows what she told him in that room. The judges that have seen the grand jury transcript of what they were told, like Judge Fitz Fitzpatrick, who's a magistrate judge in the Comey case. Yeah. And others said that in the Comey case, Lindsey Halligan violated the fifth amendment rights and sixth amendment rights of James Comey. And just the way she presented it to the grand jury, Lord knows what she did with Letitia James. We haven't even seen the grand jury transcript yet. So those indictments are gone. So they run to Alexandria, Virginia. Now they run back last week to Norfolk, Virginia. And I report here and on Legal AF, the YouTube channel, I report that grand jury did not return an indictment. And I said they're not going to stop. They tried five times in the District of Columbia to indict a protester who got pummeled by ICE and federal officers. And they. And they tried to indict her because she pushed back and a grand jury wouldn't do it in D.C. and they had to go off on a misdemeanor charge on her. So I knew they were going to try again. And a week later, boom, you know, Mr. McBride and his team go run into Norfolk, Virginia, and the problem, or sorry, in Alexandria, Virginia, this time today. And they run up against the brick wall because their case should not have been brought. It violates the Department of Justice manual which says you should only bring a case. You can only bring a case when you have good faith belief that you will meet a probable cause burden to demonstrate that a crime has been committed and. And will be sustained through appeal. And that. And they have violated that principle in going after Letitia James and violating the principles of federal prosecution. So a warm embrace and a thank you to the grand jurors in Virginia, wherever you may be in the Eastern district of Virginia, because they're playing a shell game here. Today Alexandria, tomorrow, Norfolk. Coming to your town soon. And when they try it for the third time on the same mortgage fraud case, I expect the same result. No, no bill. No true bill of indictment. This is an example of the American people standing up in the criminal justice system for law and order against a rogue lawless Department of Justice. I'm Michael Popak.
