Reply to comment by ScruffyB in TRUMP INDICTMENT MEGA-THREAD by TheNormalAlternative

Different political priorities and considerations, I’d assume. If SDNY were to bring charges, it’d basically be Biden prosecuting his own predecessor, and that may not be something Biden wants to do. It looks more like Biden using the federal courts against a direct political rival, as opposed to Bragg, who certainly has different politics than Trump but isn’t a direct opponent.

So to avoid the appearance of a politicized prosecution, they are making a politicized decision NOT to prosecute. Makes less than zero sense to me, but I suppose I agree it could be the explanation.

And flies in the face of the argument the right is making to decry the Manhattan charges as well.
