Trump attacks Letitia James with his own post and a Roger Stone article [1]

Letitia James is still in Trump's crosshairs because she can still extract that $454 million owed to the State of New York. He hasn't gone after Judge Engoron. He's kept himself from attacking the judge's daughter recently, but he broke the gag order many times since it was imposed, without consequence.

The Attorney General of New York has her hands full every day, but doesn't make every single decision. Prosecutors decide what cases they can win and those they pursue because they must.

Trump decided to try another tact when the non-existent real estate fraud didn't work. Or Roger Stone decided it for him.

"A sick and horrible woman, who also happens to be grossly incompetent!"

Every Black, intelligent woman of power is a threat to Trump. He can't stand the scrutiny. He and his cohorts sidetracked Fanni Willis, but not James.

Trump must crush those who oppose him. Today, he's using Roger Stone.

Stone's article is here.

The subject is Patrick Girondi, a singer songwriter who has a therapeutics company. He is known for work in finding a gene therapy cure for sickle cell anemia.

The case Stone talks about goes all the way back to 2010 and then suddenly it's 2019, and Girondi wants the State of New York to go after a company that charges $3.1 million for its gene therapy, where Girondi "only" charges $750,000 to $800,000. Both amounts are huge, but Stone thinks Girondi is the only one doing it right.

So, I looked up the culprit, Bluebird Bio. They're in Massachusetts and their therapy is FDA approved.

Girondi's company, San Rocco Therapeutics is in Tampa Florida and Italy. They are also highly pleased to have RFK Jr. in charge of Health and Human Services. He has committed to going after rare diseases, but there is that massive weight of baggage RFK carries. He doesn't even know how to deal with measles. All kinds of cancer research has been shut down, but he knows nothing about it.

Stone points at Dr. Craig B. Thompson, who became the President and CEO of the Sloan Kettering Institute in 2010. Stone accuses Thompson of having deep ties to venture capitalist company Third Rock Ventures, which financed Bluebird Bio. Third Rock Ventures does list Bluebird Bio as a company they've helped along with a dozen others they're quote proud of. The accomplishments are many.

The only stain on Thompson's record is when he went from Abramson Family Cancer Research Institute to Sloan Kettering Institute and they said he took research with him. Case was settled and nothing since.

I can find no direct link between Thompson and Third Rock other than Bluebird Bio. Stone makes assumptions not in evidence.

So how does this land on Letitia James plate? Well, she must favor Big Pharma because she didn't go after Bluebird Bio for charging too much. That's it.

Wait, now she's behind the health care industry that resulted in "lionizing" Luigi Mangione killing of UnitedHealthCare CEO Brian Thompson. And then Stone is back to 2019 and Girondi saying he went to James office but she was too busy with her obsession to get Trump to help.

Bear in mind that Stone could easily be making up Girondi's statements. There is no attribution of him saying these things or Stone interviewing him.

"... James' attacks on Trump were so far overreaching, low IQ and absurd..."

Sorry, the low IQ trick doesn't work and neither does the "she doesn't care that Black Lives Matter" garbage because she didn't prosecute someone at Girondi's request.

Remember, it was Stone who said just before Jan.6th, "Let's get right to the violence." He has strung together some facts with conclusions he made up

Stone is positively giddy that "she faces potential jail time and will be remembered as one of the most corrupt elected officials in American history."

Yes, Roger Stone is a stone cold killer. He was pardoned by Trump in his first administration showing how corrupt Trump was then. He's gotten much worse.

Trump has just given himself a new method to attack James. Stone being the source ruins it, though. Only MAGA faithful would listen to him. Steve Bannon is a journalist compared to Stone, and Bannon is no journalist.

Trump is like the Terminator. He will never stop, he will never sleep, he will never eat until Letitia James is stopped from collecting the money due New York. Trump needs to remember that hydraulic press at the end.

AG Letitia James just sued the Trump administration on May 5th for dismantling HHS .

"This administration is not streamlining the Federal government; they are sabotaging it and all of us. When you fire the scientists that research infectious diseases, silence the doctors who care for pregnant patients, and shut down the programs that help firefighters and miners breathe or children thrive, you are not making America healthy --- you are putting countless lives at risk," James said about the lawsuit.

That gave Trump a new reason to attack. I'd say RFK is Trump's new brainchild, but he still hasn't gotten rid of that brainworm.

It seems to have moved over to Trump.

Sort of an update:

The only thing on Trump's schedule today is playing golf at Trump National Golf Club, Washington, D.C., starting at 10am ET.

Will there be new attacks on Truth Social when he gets back to the White House? Sure, and he'll be writing new ones in The Beast on his way back.

The strangest post today is an AI generated video of Trump playing Journey's "Don't Stop Believing" on a American flag piano and then on guitar, then on drums.
