Trump nominates White House aide to be top US prosecutor for office probing Letitia James. Seriously? Can this be any more blatant?

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump said Saturday that he would be nominating senior White House aide Lindsey Halligan to serve as the top federal prosecutor for the Virginia office that was thrown into turmoil when its U.S. attorney was pushed out Friday.

In a social media post just after he departed the White House for an event at Mount Vernon, Trump wrote he was nominating Halligan as U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, writing that she “will be Fair, Smart, and will provide, desperately needed, JUSTICE FOR ALL!”

The announcement came as Trump pressed Attorney General Pam Bondi to move forward with pursuing cases against some of his political opponents, part of a vow for retribution that has been a theme of his return to the White House.

The nomination would place one of the president’s legal defenders in charge of an office in tumult over political pressure by administration officials to criminally charge New York Attorney General Letitia James, a longtime foe of Trump, in a mortgage fraud investigation.

Erik Siebert, who had been the office’s top prosecutor, resigned amid a push by Trump administration officials to bring charges in the investigation, which stems from allegations of paperwork discrepancies on James’ Brooklyn townhouse and a Virginia home.

I thought nobody was above the law?
 
No one is "persecuting" Ms. James at all.

When she is charged, she will have FULL DUE PROCESS, and the ability to hire a legion of lawyers to try and beat the charges.

She has absolutely nothing to worry about, as long as she didn't commit a crime.

Only mortgage fraud is all documented

Moar weaponizing of our government by that god damned felon.

Actually, it was the Left who weaponized the government to go after Trump with scores of fake lawsuits and indictments.

Why are they whining now, when they are the ones who changed the rules?
 
The development comes as Trump administration officials have been aggressively pursuing allegations against James arising from alleged paperwork discrepancies on James’s Brooklyn townhouse and a Virginia home. The Justice Department has spent months conducting the investigation but has yet to bring charges and it not clear that prosecutors have managed to uncover any degree of incriminating evidence necessary to secure an indictment.
 
15th post
Disputed allegations: James's attorney has stated that a power-of-attorney form was completed with a mistake but that other loan documents correctly indicated the property was not her primary residence

Trump has nothing but an abuse of his office.
 
Which were later dropped.

Actually, its under appeal. Ms. James is insisting that the $500 Million fine isn't excessive in the least and is totally constitutional.

I wonder if her opinion will change now?

At the moment they are dropped.
