. Did anybody see that? I didn't see the original story but I saw a post by Dr. Interracial who's a real good follower. Dr. Interracial. He's in an interracial marriage and has lots of insights from that. But apparently the thing that people thought was outrageous, somebody putting handcuffs on a toddler, there was somebody putting handcuffs on a toddler. His father, when they played cops and rob…

That doesn't feel like a good idea, does it? Like how could you win politically by cutting a little bit on the budget but doing it on the backs of the people who had nothing to do with the shutdown? You don't punish the people who had nothing to do with the shutdown. So I don't know if they're just floating this idea and it won't happen but looks like a terrible idea, wouldn't you say? I'd say just a terrible idea. I like saving money but not on the backs of people who just wanted to go to work.
All right. So apparently there's a senior prosecutor in the Eastern District of Virginia who would be in charge of charging New York Attorney General Letitia James for any mortgage cheating. So she's accused of cheating on a mortgage to get a lower rate. And apparently the senior prosecutor decides not to prosecute. And the argument for it is that there's no probable cause.
Let's see if I can pull some of these facts together. She's an attorney general. That means she's a lawyer, right? She's a trained lawyer. In the comments, how many of you who have been involved in real estate? If you've never been involved buying any real estate you can pass on this one. But if those of you who have had any involvement in real estate, did you not know that you couldn't claim two houses as your primary residence? Is there anybody here, lawyer, non-lawyer, attorney general, non-attorney general, is there even one person here who didn't know that you're not allowed to do that?
And if you didn't know that, don't you think you'd be able to figure it out by the forms themselves? As in the form would ask you whether you own it or rent it and you would say to yourself, "Huh, that must be important because otherwise they wouldn't ask the question. Why did they care if you have another house, right? I mean as long as you can afford it." Well the answer is you're only allowed to have one. That's your primary residence.
Are you telling me that this top prosecutor believes that the attorney general is the only person in the world who didn't know you're not supposed to do that? Claim two primary residences. How about the part where she listed, allegedly, maybe this didn't happen but allegedly she listed her dad as her husband or something to get a better rate. Do you think she wouldn't know that listing the wrong person on the application would be a problem? Like she wouldn't know that the attorney general wouldn't know that.
You know I think Trump needs to or whoever, somebody needs to fire this person. The Eastern District of Virginia, you got to fire that person. There's just no way that the attorney general wasn't fully aware of what she was doing. There's just no way. I give that a 0% chance.
And by the way, ignorance of the law is not a defense.

Oh wait. According to Grok, it is. So I went to Grok and said, you know, just to make sure, I said is there any situation where ignorance of the law would be a legitimate defense? Because I've always been told that ignorance of the law is no defense at all and that it wouldn't matter what the law was. You can't just pretend you didn't know. I mean that would be its own set of problems. But there…
