- Tish James
Tish James is a pretty fearless badass who took on the NRA and Trump and won. Therefore, she must be prosecuted for apparently buying a house and renting it to her niece. Anyway, probably bullshit, but both sides, etc.
Federal Housing Finance Agency Director Bill Pulte had referred the case to the Justice Department, alleging that James had made false statements on mortgage loan applications. But the case hit a standstill last month because federal agents and prosecutors didn't believe they had the evidence to secure a conviction, two senior federal law enforcement officials told NBC News last month.
Erik S. Siebert, the acting U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, resigned under pressure last month after Trump said he wanted him "out."
Trump then named one of his personal attorneys, Lindsey Halligan, to be acting U.S. attorney, though she lacked any prosecutorial experience.
All the legal paperwork (technical term) on this and the Comey case is signed by Halligan alone because nobody who valued their bar card, or their reputation, at the DOJ wanted to get within a mile of this turd of a case.
Desperate, petty and bad — pretty much the hallmark of Trump 2.0.
