Fair enough. But then I hope all of these posts will be removed:

Just seems like either all Trump indictment posts should be removed for being unrelated to NYC (or perhaps all but one) because if we're going to allow half a dozen of these to be posted each day, then why can't we have a megathread to clean it up?

Anyone seen good coverage for why the SDNY USAO didn't pursue this case? They won this exact case against Michael Cohen, why wouldn't they follow up with Trump himself?

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.
