Go tell someone who does not know that the Southern District of New York is a Federal Jurisdiction. Those people have been referring to the Manhattan DA.
The U.S. Attorney’s indictment will not go anywhere, he will be told by the Attorney General and by the Courts that the remedy for Presidential misbehavior is via impeachment

... NonDems expose Dems wasting time to impeach without case, campaign to take House
