Frank Luntz recently appeared on CNN and was asked about the possibility of New York AG Letitia James seizing Trump's assets.
He issued a stern warning to the far-left network: If James does this, he will essentially back up Trump's claims and he will surely get elected.
The point Luntz is making is a good one, but it may have already happened in the public mind. People are already seeing this happen. The possibility is as real as it has already happened.

JOHN BERMAN, CNN: I guess we'll just have to wait and see.
Okay, Frank, here's the politics. People working on the Biden campaign have already started referring to Donald Trump as a broke Don. This is interesting. And it's possible that New York Attorney General Letitia James will begin, or may begin, seizing assets, even buildings. What do you think that will be like?
FRANK LUNTZ, Polling and Communications Strategist: I want you to remember this moment and not forget it. When the New York Attorney General starts taking his home and confiscating his assets, everything will be on camera. The experts are going to sit there and scream about this. This person cannot be elected. You will create the biggest casualty of 2024 and elect Donald Trump.
If they take his stuff, he'll say this is proof that the federal government, the establishment, the Washington swamp, all the politicians across the country, the attorney general, all of this is a conspiracy to disown him. president. He will go up in the polls just as he has gone up every time he is indicted.
As for the prosecution, I won't talk about whether it's warranted or not. But it will prove the things he has been saying on the campaign trail and he will go up and it may get him elected president. Don't forget that. And I now say to the Attorney General: If you get into the politics of this, I believe this is what the secretaries of state did in Colorado and this is what they did in Maine. His numbers increased in both states.

Everyone knows that the James case is purely political and frankly un-American.
