The irony of ironies is this is the SAME THING she’s pursuing Trump for

Actually, it's not the same thing, and the distinction is something that the media has so far failed to point out.

In President Trump's case, the loan he was tried for was with Deutsche Bank, a private company. The loan was repaid with interest, the bank made money, nobody was defrauded, and the bank said it would do business with Trump again.

In James's case, the Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) wrote: "Ms. Letitia James has, in multiple instances, falsified bank documents and property records to acquire government backed assistance and loans and more favorable loan terms." This means James was defrauding the government and not a private bank.

Defrauding the government, and by extension the taxpayers, is taken as a much more serious crime than an alleged fraud between two private parties. If found guilty of defrauding the government, the punishmnts are more severe than a simple disgorgement of the ill-gotten gains from her several rental properties. We would be talking jail time of several years.

And that belies the charges Miss Tisch launched against President trump, aiming for massive penalties, including Time Behind Bars, far and away beyond money restitution. It was sick.
