So not only can you indict a ham sandwich, you can be indicted *by* a ham sandwich.
I guess they found a bunch of yahoos in Virginia to indict the proverbial ham sandwich.

The Justice Department won an indictment against New York Attorney General Letitia James Thursday, accusing her of committing mortgage fraud when she purchased a property in Virginia in 2023.
The indictment on bank fraud makes James the second of President Donald Trump’s political foes to be charged in the Eastern District of Virginia since Trump pushed out the top prosecutor there and appointed a close ally, Lindsey Halligan, who had no previous experience as a prosecutor, to replace him. Halligan won an indictment two weeks ago against former FBI director James B. Comey on charges of making a false statement to Congress. He has pleaded not guilty.
Halligan presented the case against James to a grand jury in Alexandria. It is unusual for a top politically-appointed U.S. attorney to present a case herself and could suggest that the office struggled to find a career attorney willing to take on the assignment.
A senior career attorney in the office had indicated to her staff in recent days that she believed the case was weak and did not want to present it to a grand jury, according to two people familiar with the internal conversations who spoke on the condition of anonymity out of fear of retaliation. That attorney had also worked to insulate her subordinates from the case so that they, too, would not have to present the case, those people said.
