    The article stating the DA’s political affiliation like it has any relevance whatsoever just dissolves any credibility they may have had.

      Actually, it is a bit relevant in NY, because the AG is an elected position in NY. So she actively campaigned and was voted in as a Democrat. It shouldn’t affect how she conducts cases, of course, but I don’t think the article implied that it did.

      AP is about as unbiased and professional as you can get in journalism these days. Like someone below pointed out, it’s relevant because she’s elected and it’s relevant because Trump is making it a big deal, which makes it relevant to the story

        it’s relevant because Trump is making it a big deal

        Trump does not control what is and is not the law. If Trump went on a rant about the DA’s favorite snack crackers, would that make it relevant? He does not deserve to control the narrative. Don’t entertain his bullshit.
