This is the case in which Attorney General Letitia James came into office pledging to target Trump, which prosecutors should not do. One does not go into office vowing to target “that guy.” Rather, one vows to prosecute a crime — not find the criminal. The person who does the crime is by definition, the criminal.
If a specific person is targeted, then that looks very much like malicious and selective prosecution, which is exactly what James was doing.
