Democrats gained control of four Republican-held attorney general offices in the November 6, 2018, elections.
Democratic candidates flipped open seats in Colorado, Michigan, and Nevada and unseated a Republican incumbent in Wisconsin, while Republicans picked up Alaska's previously-independent attorney general office by winning the gubernatorial election.[1] In all, 30 states held elections for attorney general out of the 43 states in which the office is elected.
Democrats left the 2018 elections with 25 attorney general offices to Republicans' 24. Heading into the election, the majority of state attorney general offices were held by Republicans, with 27 attorney general offices to Democrats' 21. Hawaii's attorney general was nonpartisan.

The Dems won more AG offices in 2018 positioning themselves in case of run-offs which we saw a lot of in this election....
Who cares. She is an elected NY state official. She will be under indictment or in a corruption scandal in about 5 months or so.Hasn't stopped Cuomo yet.
Hasn't stopped Cuomo yet.
I wonder why more people don't find an AG coming into office promising to target an individual for investigation for crimes not yet determined really creepy.
Not if there is some evidence out there that indicates a basis for further investigation. In Trump’s case, that evidence exists.

It's a democrat/communist thing:show me the man and I'll find you the crime. And they just love to threaten to abuse their power.
Says you.
This is no more untoward than all the demands made here and on other conservative websites that Trump investigate the Clintons, or Podesta, or Pelosi, or whomever.
You cannot be serious here, counselor. You just cannot.Do we have one law or not? Do we just role over, apparently so, if it's our guy that may have broken the law? Everyone should be treated equally, or are we down underneath really just like the democrats?
Says the facts. To start with, it’s already clear beyond doubt that his tax-exempt foundation failed to make the required filings in NY. That is more than sufficient to ground an investigation. It’s also pretty clear that there are questions to be answered with regard to campaign finance, which raises issues under NY state law. If nothing else, the admissions by Cohen and the National Enquirer raise questions that would justify an investigation.

If trump were being treated like every other public official accused of this Mickey Mouse shit most of we trump supporting rubes would be tickled pink. ESPECIALLY if he were treated as members of the other party routinely are.
I agree with that. I would be OK with Trump being investigated if the Clintons, heck if just Hillary, were investigated too.

Oh spare me the GD idiot talking points. You've either been unconscious for two years or you agree with the legal malfeasance to remove a duly elected President.Well I only hear idiot talking points from......................you. As usual if someone doesn't agree with everything you think they should than obviously they are ignorant or want to vote for Hillary. Try, just try and highlight where I said I agree with the legal malfeasance to remove a duly elected President.. I asked a very simple question as to whether or no we had one law for all..........DO WE? If so, and if Trump has broken the law he should like everyone else be held accountable. I firmly believe Hillary and her crime family have and should be prosecuted, but it's the gutless, castrated Republicans who didn't follow thru and that's on Trump too with him walking back one his major campaign promises.
If trump were being treated like every other public official accused of this Mickey Mouse shit most of we trump supporting rubes would be tickled pink. ESPECIALLY if he were treated as members of the other party routinely are.I'm not talking about the Mickey Mouse shit, Trump screwed up and left the door open for these clowns to actually find something real to go after, that's what I am referring to. You can't be all about prosecuting the Clintons, Obama, pick your democrat, but insist that your guy be given a pass if he did something prosecutable. If you do than your no better than the democrats. I abhor the bullshit persecution of Trump and other Republicans, but it's the Republicans who have neutered themselves and allowed it to happen. They cower in the corner afraid of what the voters might think if they played hard ball and end up worse off with the voters because they show them they have no balls.
You cannot be serious here, counselor. You just cannot.
What’s untoward is the attitude of those here, some of whom are fond of calling others ‘brownshirts’, endorsing stalinist tactics of the left while they attempt to undo the results of a legitimate election.
No dearie, the ones being unserious here are the orange-pearl clutchers such as yourself. Take some smelling salts, loosen your girdle, and start behaving like an adult.
The only real reason you’re bitching about this one is because it might put a spot of tarnish on the godlike gender of Trump and Trumpism.
Who cares. She is an elected NY state official. She will be under indictment or in a corruption scandal in about 5 months or so.
Oh FFS @Oceander Defend your support of legal malfeasance by the state or stand the hell down. Your efforts to avert are tiresome and shallow.
Do we have one law or not?
Authentic Trump Derangement.... those pathologies we SEE the Donny exhibiting wth ever greater frequency are like the PLAGUE...
his FOLLOWERS were exposed to the virulent toxicity and most SUCCUMBED to same.
Donny "could go out on Fifth venue and shoot somebody and not lose any CULT MEMBERS"
The Donny Poisons everything he touches!
It may also have something to do with the fact Trump decided ‘lock her up’ was just a good campaign slogan.
You clearly don’t know what Stalinesque is, but having been banned from using “nazi†as an unthinking epithet i guess youve moved on to what you think is the next best word.
An incoming AG promising to investigate what appears to have been illegal conduct is not stalinesque. In fact, an incoming AG who promises to investigate is as American as apple pie. It’s what you get with elected offices.
The only real reason you’re bitching about this one is because it might put a spot of tarnish on the godlike gender of Trump and Trumpism.
Drop the pearls dearie. There is no “legal malfeasance†involved; just your fear that Trump is in fact guilty.
If Donald Trump were a billionaire favorite son of NYC …. would the government be investigating him? Hint, the answer is "No".
I wonder why more people don't find an AG coming into office promising to target an individual for investigation for crimes not yet determined really creepy.
So "creepy" and stupid, one could even swear she's on the POTUS' payroll.
Talk about an 'alley oop' for a lay-up...for any appeals court ruling.

This woman is genuinely too stupid to do anything legal. She has a shit law degree that she barely used as a public defender. If she wasn't a black woman she would be hanging outside a drunk tank soliciting winos for Drunk and Disorderly defense work.

She's not the only person in that New York District office that will be doing the digging.
All she has to do is sit on her ass until 'the goods' are forwarded to her.
If you ever saw the half ass idiots and future slip and fall lawyers working in a state AG's offices you wouldn't be that worried.
No personal insults here, right? /s

I'll give you time to look up the name Lavrentiy Beria & the quote he's famous for and think up another cute reposte, hypocrite.
Lets face it, if Trump was (still) a Democrat this and past DA's hate boners for Trump would have never happened. This is pure legal harassment. There should be a law.

No post report filed...by the *offended*
You expect us to believe that your MODS don't act on their own...that posts are removed only because the *offended* filed a report?
Bullshit.
No post report filed...by the *offended*
I don't care if you believe it or not...that's a MOD rule
Yes, the post to me was offensive and personal. But I have learned that this is okay with the management here. I have reported offenses far worse, far more graphic, than this one and each report has been ignored. So using me as proof that the post wasn't offensive is rather disingenuous … considering you know such a report would have been a waste my time @mystery-ak.
But thanks anyway @DCPatriot *Hugs*

Hmmm. That is too bad. The snarky, obviously personally insulting posts really detract from the site.
Lemme see, where have we seen this before? ...unequal application of rules against Trump defenders ...unequal application of law against Trump ... hmm.
10 9 8 7...and here you are....a little late to the party aren't you
I have reported offenses far worse, far more graphic, than this one and each report has been ignored.
@Oceander..stop the snarky/rude replies...
OK, whoever put the burr in the @DCPatriot saddle, could you kindly remove it NOW!
Picking "MOD2" among that crowd was not huge task.
Make me a MOD. I dare you.
It is beyond belief that the downtrodden ( @DCPatriot and @Right_in_Virginia ) continue to frequent this site. What possible motive could there be to voluntarily subject yourselves to such ridicule and hostility from the other members and deception from the owner? Is someone hold y'all hostage? Should we call the police? Blink twice if we should.
@mystery-ak
Now we have two members here ruining a thread once again.
@Oceander..stop the snarky/rude replies...
Is it possible for you not to comment on something that doesn't concern you or must you insinuate yourself into everything? Are you this bored, this desperate for attention?
Blink if the answer's yes.'
And STOP pinging me. I've got you on ignore for good reasons.
@mystery-ak
I'll use your own type of reasoning here.
1) I entered the thread in post 41
2) Not until @Right_in_Virginia was personally insulted did I start my shit.
If your MODs were fair and balanced, we wouldn't be having this food fight.
Pathetic.
As Forum Ambassador and a Freelance Mod I would like to say that this thread has gone to total shit in my absence. I would like to thank all of you for the good laugh.
Keep up the good work everyone!
I just figured having his name highlighted in purple was the raise.
