From NY Times:
A prosecutor handpicked by President Trump secured an indictment of New York’s attorney general, Letitia James, on bank fraud and false statement charges in the Eastern District of Virginia on Thursday after the president publicly demanded Ms. James be charged.
The investigation of Ms. James, a New York Democrat who brought a civil case against Mr. Trump, focused on two homes she owned in Norfolk, Va., and Brooklyn. A Trump housing official had referred the case to the Justice Department, suggesting that Ms. James might have falsified records related to those homes.
The indictment of Ms. James came two weeks after the prosecutor, Lindsey Halligan, indicted James B. Comey, the former F.B.I. director, on charges he lied to Congress. Mr. Comey pleaded not guilty on Wednesday and accused Ms. Halligan of vindictive and selective prosecution.
In both cases, the career prosecutors who conducted the investigations reported that there was insufficient evidence to bring charges, and Ms. Halligan’s predecessor declined to bring either case before the grand jury.
The case, being pursued in Alexandria, Va., came less than three weeks after Mr. Trump forced out the top federal prosecutor there, who had told superiors that there was insufficient evidence to justify criminal charges. In his place, the president installed Ms. Halligan, a White House aide with no prosecutorial experience.
Ms. Halligan made the grand jury presentation in the James case on Thursday.

Chris Wray is a Republican and may get indicted, so justice is blind.

It’s not like he ran for office promising to convict her of an as of yet unknown crime or anything.
Nobody Is above the law - you told us this.
Plus, she accused Trump of bank fraud, ergo per Liberalism Rule #1, we know that she was committing g bank fraud herself and projecting her behavior. It is what you Libs do.
Trump had his trial. Found liable of fraud.
Are you familiar with the concept of vindictive prosecution?
If not, you will be schooled over the next few months.

The jury of American voters decided otherwise. Now Tish gets her trial.
No kings!
Ms James’ indictment will be dismissed for vindictive prosecution.
If not, I trust DOJ Shotcaller Trump’s handpicked prosecutor will try the case. I hear the Cheerleader is a formidable courtroom lawyer!!
Criminally indicted. "Her hypocrisy is profound".

Big Tish is an amazing woman. 6'3, 250, and
Able to be NY AG while living in Virginia.
Apply same facts to the members of your country club or GOP members of Congress.
Over/Under on indictments is 43.
Focus on Florida second homes.
Show the data, counselor.
Otherwise, STFU.
There’s a reason career prosecutors passed on filing criminal charges.
The professionals actually honor their oaths as federal prosecutors, and review cases objectively, aware of the line that defines criminality.
It’s been that way at DOJ for decades.
Trump and Bondi have obliterated that line.
