UGH: Newly elected NY AG vows to launch SWEEPING investigations into all things Trump

This just shows you how desperate the Democrats are to bring Trump down and how they will stop at nothing to try and make him politically toxic for 2020:

NBC NEWS – New York Attorney Gen.-elect Letitia James says she plans to launch sweeping investigations into President Donald Trump, his family and “anyone” in his circle who may have violated the law once she settles into her new job next month.


“We will use every area of the law to investigate President Trump and his business transactions and that of his family as well,” James, a Democrat, told NBC News in her first extensive interview since she was elected last month.

James outlined some of the probes she intends to pursue with regard to the president, his businesses and his family members. They include:

* Any potential illegalities involving Trump’s real estate holdings in New York, highlighting a New York Times investigation published in October into the president’s finances.

* The June 2016 Trump Tower meeting with a Russian official.

* Examine government subsidies Trump received, which were also the subject of Times investigative work.

* Whether he is in violation of the emoluments clause in the U.S.
Constitution through his New York businesses.

* Continue to probe the Trump Foundation.

“We want to investigate anyone in his orbit who has, in fact, violated the law,” said James, who was endorsed by New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo.

Democrats are almost assuredly going to overplay their hand and they are counting on the fact that Trump is not a typical president, that he’s more belligerent and thus will be harder for some people to see as a victim.

But I’m not sure that’s the best logic because many people already see Trump as a victim of the press. If Democrats in the House and this NY AG go after him in the sweeping way they’ve promised, targeting his family and colleagues, then they may well guarantee him a victory in 2020, which would be the opposite of what they are hoping to accomplish.

Even the story itself is already generating criticism:
