In recent years, Democrats and their allies in the media have relentlessly pursued President Donald Trump and his supporters. The roles have now reversed, with those who once wielded power to persecute facing their own potential justice. Establishment media outlets like CNN struggle to articulate their outrage as the narrative shifts.
On a recent broadcast, CNN’s Kasie Hunt attempted to connect with the American public by claiming “everyone in America” can relate to New York Attorney General Letitia James, who was indicted on mortgage fraud charges. This is strikingly ironic. James rose to prominence by prosecuting Trump on very similar charges, successfully securing a verdict in 2024, aided by a biased judge. However, a New York state appeals court later deemed the excessive penalties too harsh, citing violations of the Eighth Amendment. As a result, Trump found himself subject to dubious legal tactics while simultaneously preparing for a second presidential run.
In the clip, Hunt insists that the mortgage issues James faces resonate with many Americans who purchase homes, suggesting that it’s a widespread concern. She states, “the federal government doesn’t go after all of these people, um, for doing this.” Notably, her stuttering pause casts doubt on her assertion and raises the question of whether she recognizes the inaccuracy of her claim.
Hunt then shifts to her guest, Berit Berger, a former federal prosecutor, asking her how frequently allegations of bank fraud lead to indictment. Surprisingly, Berger begins by discussing the indictment of former FBI Director James Comey, attempting to downplay its significance by calling it a “process crime.” Yet this strategy inadvertently shifts focus back to the topic of mortgage fraud. Berger states, “Mortgage fraud is something…it is really the bread and butter of most prosecutors’ offices in, uh, federal offices across the country.” This admission contradicts Hunt’s earlier claim and serves as a strong refutation of the notion that such fraud is rare.
Berger’s insightful comments reveal that cases of mortgage fraud are frequent and not reserved for high-profile individuals like Comey. According to her, they occur routinely, emphasizing the seriousness of the charges against James. “They bring hundreds and hundreds of these types of cases every year,” she explains, underscoring the gravity of the situation and the potential implications for James.
This exchange raises further questions about the direction of these legal battles. Will those pursuing Trump end up facing scrutiny from one another? As indictments pile up, could infighting among his persecutors become the next chapter of this saga?
While CNN grapples with its incoherent anti-Trump narrative, the implications of these events continue to unfold. The dynamic of accusation and indictment that once targeted the former president now turns back on those who initiated the crusade. The outcomes of such legal contests may well redefine political allegiances and set a new precedent in the continuing saga of justice and accountability in America.
