I mean Hochul and Letitia both publicly stated they were going after Trump just to go after Trump. That they'd find a reason to prosecute him. How is that legal? Hochul told the world that no one else had to worry about this happening to them b/c they were just going after Trump. "You didn't do anything different than anyone else, but we're going to prosecute you and only you" seems illegal to me. And really politically dumb. If they do start seizing assets, he's only going to become MORE popular than he already is.
Yeah, the problem is that Trump's lawyers have to PROVE it... in front of the judges in the state he is being prosecuted in. Failing that, he has to go through the whole process until he gets to the Supreme Court (if he can), and try to prove it there.
Honestly it might get solved faster if the selective treatment turns public opinion so strongly that Congress gets packed with MAGA candidates and impeaches misbehaving officials or passes new laws to fix it.
