She highlighted James&#8217;s efforts to target Trump, including investigations and legal actions, amidst internal Democratic Party tensions between moderates and anti-Trump factions. Lowe Doescher pointed out parallels between Trump\u2019s use of DOJ attorneys to pursue political enemies and James\u2019s actions, criticizing both for politicizing legal processes. The article also details specific cases, such as James&#8217;s civil fraud lawsuit against Trump, which was upheld despite fines being dismissed, and mentions internal disputes within James\u2019s office, notably an email from prosecutor Daniel Wiesenfeld criticizing her actions, which led to his administrative leave. the piece suggests that Democrats\u2019 focus on Trump serves to distract from broader issues within their own ranks,with Lowe Doescher warning that such tactics may persist into the future,diverting attention from more considerable political debates.  <\/p>\n<p
