"The mortgage fraud investigation into New York Attorney General Letitia James is at a standstill because federal agents and prosecutors don’t believe they have enough evidence to get a conviction if the case were to go to trial, two senior federal law enforcement officials told NBC News on Wednesday."

But the white house is saying, "FUCK THAT, IF YOU CAN'T FIND ANY EVIDENCE, MAKE SHIT UP LIKE WE'RE DOING WITH COMEY!"

"The White House and several top administration officials, however, have continued to push the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Virginia to seek an indictment against James, who brought a civil fraud case against Donald Trump after his first term as president."

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 president’s new interim U.S. attorney, Lindsey Halligan, in the coming weeks, they said.
Prosecutors in the Eastern District are now bracing for Yusi to be fired for her own resistance to try a case that many lawyers have said lacks sufficient evidence, according to the two people.

It amazes me how Republicans aren't even blinking at this disgusting waste of public resources - I thought they were all against "waste, fraud, and abuse"?
