Trump was a prosecutor and successfully got a guilty verdict, so they investigated Trump's prosecution? I can't recall that ever happening, so don't understand how this was ever done to Trump.

The OP is about the federal government "subpoenas to New York Attorney General Letitia James inquiring about her office's civil fraud case against President Donald Trump and corruption case against the National Rifle Association." I fail to see how that has anything to do with any fraud James may have committed.
And it is alleged by the Trump administration that James did the same thing but it appears they do not have any actual evidence, at this point, so that they need a "special prosecutor." If they don't want it to look like political retribution, then they likely want to appoint someone other than Martin, who Congress rejected for a US attorney position (not to mention, per Trump's case in Florida, the standard is that he'd need Congressional approval to become a "legal" special prosecutor).

Prosecuting honest people for doing their jobs, in this case for the taxpayers of New York State. is part of Trump's vengeance. How dare the heavily burdened taxpayers of NY hold him accountable for evading half a billion dollars in taxes!

From post #19
U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi has tapped Ed Martin, the ex-interim U.S. attorney for Washington, D.C., as "special attorney" to probe New York Attorney General Letitia James and Sen. Adam Schiff over allegations of mortgage fraud, two administration officials told NBC News.
And I don't know how you can complain about Martin when James ran for office promising to get Trump

Not complaining about Martin, just pointing out that his appointment makes it look political. If she's guilty, I have no issue with her being prosecuted, just have my doubts that any conviction will ever occur. Particularly with the DoJ wanting her files from Trump's prosecution (which is questionable, since it is still in the courts), it looks like the Trump Administration is just throwing things against the wall to see if they can get anything to stick (and to keep distracting people from things like Epstein).

#1: He wasn't going to be confirmed by the Senate as US Attorney, so his nomination was pulled. So he's been deemed unfit for that kind of role.
Despite apologies, Trump DC Attorney nominee Ed Martin can't escape connection to Hitler-loving Jan 6 hostage (He's out, Pirro is now interim)
Trump US attorney nominee distances himself from antisemitic Jan. 6 rioter he once praised Ed Martin, President Donald Trump's nominee for the next U.S. attorney for Washington, D.C., apologized in a new interview for his past praise of a Jan. 6 rioter who had a lengthy history of antisemitic...

#2: Per the judge's ruling in the dismissal of Jack Smith's case, Martin has been unlawfully appointed as special prosecutor/attorney/counsel. He would require Senate approval (where he's already failed to pass muster).

James won her election.
The case was serious.
Trump lost and has to pay damages inflicted on the citizens of NY.
Martin lost his Jan 6th defendant cases.
He failed his nomination.
Trump rewards incompetence and failure.
So here he is.
These "investigations" aren't going anywhere.
See the difference?
