After spending several years hauling the former President Donald Trump through court in an attempt to puncture his bottom line, New York's Attorney General Letitia James is now employing the same lawfare tactics against VDARE, an anti-immigration website.
VDARE has not been charged with any crime, yet has "Fought NYAG Letitia James, at a cost of up to $1 million, for nearly three years." An onslaught of onerous subpoenas marks not a quest for justice but an orchestrated attempt to financially and morally bankrupt those who dare resist the liberal creed.
Letitia James's electoral platform was built on this very promise: she vowed to "Shine a bright light into every dark corner of real estate dealings," just like she promised to "Take tougher legal action on organizations that engage inonline hate speech against protected classes." Except, James cannot actually take legal action against VDARE for their "Hate speech against protected classes" because everything that VDARE writes is protected by the pesky First Amendment.
After years of aimless fishing expeditions, what James has latched onto is VDARE's real estate dealings, just as she latched onto Trump's real estate dealings.
The legal case against VDARE's castle now appears to hinge on whether or not the founders of VDARE use it as their personal dwelling.
In December, President of the VDARE foundation Lydia Brimelow denied she lived there: "It's not our home. It's our office," she said.
As part of this investigation, Letitia James is demanding that VDARE hand over 40 gigabytes of emails which "Could in fact reveal the names of [our] pseudonymous writers, as well as our donors." VDARE's donors and writers wish to remain anonymous because they will lose their jobs-or worse-if their identities are linked to what they support online.
