New York Attorney General Letitia James made her first court appearance yesterday, where she pled not guilty to federal charges of alleged mortgage fraud. The indictment was brought by interim U.S. Attorney Lindsey Halligan, a former member of Trump’s legal team with no prosecutorial experience, who accused James of misleading a bank to secure favorable mortgage terms. James slammed the indictment as “baseless” and politically motivated. MSNBC contributor Sam Stein and Georgetown law professor and MSNBC legal analyst Paul Butler join “The Weekend” to discuss.

1. Her knowing what she's doing and getting a conviction really isn't the point. the indictment is the point.

2. And when James, Comey and anyone else she charges have their charges dropped, or they're acquitted,

Been A Dick Donald will throw her under the bus and then "appoint" another incompetent fool to go after his political enemies

Lather, rinse, repeat.

3. I find it hard to

believe that the Nazi patty doesn't have a "real" attorney holding her unqualified hand through this.

4. She's there to talk to the reporters that talk to him on his TV screen.

That’s her job. She’s not there to lawyer, or to accomplish a successful prosecution.

5. She's a perfect fit for this administration.

None of them know what the hell they're doing, from the top on down.

6. If this was the year 1969, she would be in the Manson cult.
