Trump to Fire Virginia Prosecutor
Timothy Birdnow
And why shouldn't he? James never extended the courtesy of not prosecuting HIM for non-crimes and in fact what James is accused of doing is worse than anything Trump ever did. Oh, and the evidence is on paper and cannot be disputed; James lied on mortgage applications, unquestionably. The fact that this guy is refusing to file charges against Letitia James is proof the Left has weaponized the legal system (and is using it to protect their own now). This clown needs to go.

FTA:
"No clear evidence"? It couldn't be ANY clearer! James is a lawyer, not a factory worker, and she knew exactly what she was putting on that application. She lied about it being her primary residence so she could get more favorable loan terms. She is savvy enough to know that.
She also listed her father on her mortagage application as her husband. That's not a mistake someone makes by accident; it allows his income to be counted along with hers.
Uh, these prosecutors serve at the pleasure of the President. Bill Clinton fired ALL of the U.S. attorneys when he first took office and nobody objected then because it was understood the President had the authority to do that.
Also, Siebert is only an interim prosecutor, meaning he was only there until Trump found someone better. He had no right to expect to remain in the position.
That's why he refused to file charges in the first place.
Democrats Mark Warner and Tim Kaine both recommended Siebert, and Trump foolishly nominated the man.
So now it's time for him to go. If he wants to play politics and protect someone like James, who campaigned on "I'l get Trump!" and who twisted the law repeatedly to do so proves he is nothing but a partisan and has no business in the Prosecuting Attorney's office.

President Donald Trump is expected to fire the U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia after investigators were unable to find incriminating evidence of mortgage fraud against New York Attorney General Letitia James, according to sources.
Federal prosecutors in Virginia had uncovered no clear evidence to prove that James had knowingly committed mortgage fraud when she purchased a home in the state in 2023, ABC News first reported earlier this week, but Trump officials pushed U.S. Attorney Erik Siebert to nevertheless bring criminal charges against her, according to sources.
Administration officials have told Siebert of Trump's intention to fire him, sources familiar with the matter said. Siebert's last day on the job is expected to be Friday.

Abbe Lowell, an attorney for James, called the expected firing a "brazen attack on the rule of law."
"Firing people until he finds someone who will bend the law to carry out his revenge has been the President’s pattern -- and it’s illegal," Lowell said Friday in a statement to ABC News. "Punishing this prosecutor, a Trump appointee, for doing his job sends a clear and chilling message that anyone who dares uphold the law over politics will face the same fate.
