It seems to be the SDNY that's after him, they might as well be branch of the Democratic Party.
I know people feel that way, but an indictment still has to pass through a grand jury, which means some minimum evidence standard will apply.
More complicated is that I also know prosecutors can work hard at getting to crimes for some people that they seem to never look into for others. Although that alone can’t change the reality of any crime found, there is an inherent unfairness to it.
I think it’s been known for decades that Trump has done shady things in NY, but he’s good at playing the game and keeping proof from being left behind, and also at placing incentives for people not to look too hard. I think SDNY has been looking at him literally for decades but in the past had reasons for not digging too hard. Politics may well have moved him from the “pretend it’s fine” column to the “get the evidence” column, but in either situation, if my instinct is right, he was still doing the crimes. It had to catch up eventually.
