MSNBC Legal Analyst: Letitia James Should Be Very Concerned About DoJ Probe

TRANSCRIPT:

CEVALLOS: “There is nothing scarier for a citizen to get a subpoena or find out that they’re being investigated by a federal criminal grand jury. It’s terrifying, and here’s why: Grand jury investigations sweep broadly. They gather terabytes of information and they’re very efficient at going through it. And the problem there for people is that they may be investigating issue number one and then stumble across never before known issue number two when going through all those documents. That is why, if somebody is the subject, the target of a grand jury investigation, that is not a good sign. So, given that the federal government has such tremendous power to investigate, Letitia James should be very concerned — not that she necessarily did anything wrong, but because that kind of scrutiny of financial records, of business records, everything going back probably years, might yield something that the government finds interesting.”
