More trumpian vengeance:

A federal grand jury in Virginia has indicted New York Attorney General Letitia James on one count of bank fraud and one count of making a false statement to a financial institution — charges that come after steady pressure from President Trump to prosecute one of his longtime political foes.

James, a Democrat who pledged to investigate Trump during her campaign, eventually sued Trump and his company for inflating the value of some of its properties, winning more than $450 million in the civil business fraud case. The financial penalty was later thrown out on appeal.

At one of his own campaign rallies last year, Trump called for both James and the judge in that case to “be arrested and punished accordingly.” The president has been persistent in his calls since taking office, writing “JUSTICE MUST BE SERVED” in a post on TruthSocial last month that was directed at Attorney General Pam Bondi.

And by “justice” he means “persecution of people who make trouble for Trump.”

Federal prosecutors in the Eastern District of Virginia spent months on the case this year. A Republican career prosecutor there determined there was not enough evidence to bring a case against James. Then he was forced out of his job by the White House, only to be replaced by Lindsey Halligan, a former insurance lawyer in Florida with no experience as a prosecutor.

Last month, Halligan secured an indictment against former FBI Director James Comey, who has pleaded not guilty to two felony charges.

Put the right people in, tell them they don’t get to say no, and there you are, all your enemies punished. Isn’t it fun to be a corrupt evil head of state?
