A top prosecutor in Virginia has informed colleagues she plans to decline to seek charges against New York Attorney General Letitia James, resisting intense pressure from President Donald Trump, according to two people familiar with her discussions.
Elizabeth Yusi, who oversees major criminal prosecutions in the Norfolk office of the Eastern District of Virginia, has confided to co-workers that she sees no probable cause to believe James engaged in mortgage fraud, the two sources told MSNBC. Yusi plans to present her conclusion to the presidents new acting U.S. attorney, Lindsey Halligan, in the coming weeks, they said.

(3,087 posts)Re: bravery. we have arrived at that moment when Trump's Gestapo are invading "enemy cities". We are at the moment when Herr Miller commands people to attack "enemy judges" and that happens less than 48 hours later. So there is no way we can minimize the amount of bravery now required to stand up to Trump. And we are at this moment because of the unadulterated COWARDICE of nearly every elected Republican.
Having said that, there is an upside to Trump firing a capable, competent prosecutor. He will undoubtedly replace her with a legal buffoon who will totally piss off any judge they go before -- even Bush and Trump appointees.

Which means, it is pretty much a common thing. A thing that rich asshats created.
Any bets on whether or not that orange gibbon or his inner circle have done the exact same thing?
