NY AG’s office hires Hunter Biden’s lawyer to defend Letitia James

Shocked {not shocked}

Good question. I thought the investigation concerned only her personal financial activity and not anything to do with her official role.

Why should taxpayer's have to pay James's attorney fees?

I assume her angle is that she ain't ever done no wrong and Trump is just targeting her for prosecuting him so the defense interest is her actions as AG and that there is no personal actions to defend.

I’m not sure how the State of New York should be paying for her defense regarding allegations of intentional criminal acts outside the course and scope of her official duties as state AG. In most jurisdictions, she would not be provided with a defense.

Lowell, a partner at the Winston & Strawn LLP law firm, was hired by the Office of the New York State Attorney General and not retained personally by James, according to the Times Union.

The decision to hire Lowell, a prominent white-collar defense lawyer, was based in part on the AG’s office belief that the bombshell criminal referral filed by Federal Housing Finance Agency Director William Pulte earlier this month was directly correlated to the civil fraud lawsuit James’ office brought against President Trump last year, the outlet reported.

Im not saying anything to them, but I wouldn't hire the lawyer of someone that was was still in alot of legal trouble although his father was the freaking president. Having a client pardoned by their father isn't really the feather in the cap one would think.

He has experience defending corrupt and guilty democrats. Good choice for Tish.

Because "frick you!" That's why

Besides doesn't that lawfare-loving c-unit deserve the best defense your money can buy?

Just spitballing here....could there be a reason, or something that would show in discovery, that she would want a client-attorney privilege established with this attorney or law firm?
Might the state of New York want the relationship established?

Is there a way the prosecution can have this canceled?

Also she should basically go straight to jail as Trump did not get any due process in his real estate valuation trial. The judge pulled a number out of his arse and then convicted Trump. That's not due process.
