Whistleblower Just Exposed AG Letitia James’ Cover-up
Listen tothis article
A whistleblower inside New York Attorney General Letitia James’ office sent out a shocking email to more than 2,000 colleagues saying that he had been instructed “to find and pursue crimes committed by specific individuals and organizations affiliated with Donald Trump,” even if lacking “a credible reason for targeting this organizations and individuals.”
Her office then rushed to delete the emails off the servers.
As reported by the Times Union, which obtained a copy of the email:
A prosecutor in the New York attorney general’s office sent an agency-wide email to hundreds of colleagues Friday claiming that he had been instructed by his supervisor “to find and pursue crimes committed by specific individuals and organizations affiliated with Donald Trump,” according to a copy of the email obtained by the Times Union.
The prosecutor, who was assigned to the Investor Protection Bureau, alleged in his email that his bureau chief, Shamiso Maswoswe, had directed him to target “Trump himself, Truth Social, Hewlett Packard (DOJ approved merger) … without having a credible reason for targeting this organizations and individuals.”
The email sent early Friday by Assistant Attorney General Daniel Wiesenfeld, who officials said has worked for the attorney general’s office for about two years, was quickly deleted from the office’s servers and vanished from the inboxes of more than 2,000 employees. A follow-up agency-wide email subsequently sent by Attorney General Letitia James’ general counsel, Kumiki Gibson, informed employees that it was an “internal” matter and that no one in the office was “in danger,” according to three people familiar with the communication.
Wiesenfeld, a former assistant district attorney in Brooklyn, has been assigned to the Investor Protection Bureau, working from the office’s Liberty Street headquarters in Manhattan’s financial district. He has been assigned to some of the office’s most significant cases, including one announced in April in which the attorney general’s office filed a lawsuit against Coinbase Financial Markets, Inc., and Gemini, Titan LLC that accused the companies of illegally running gambling operations through their “prediction market” platforms.
The email’s mention of the Hewlett-Packard merger refers to the ongoing opposition of multiple state attorneys general — including James’ office — to that tech giant’s $14 billion acquisition of Juniper Networks, an information technology company.
“This is a personnel matter, and the employee in question has been placed on administrative leave with full pay,” Alexis Richards, a spokesperson for James, said in a statement in response to a request for comment. “The office of the attorney general is committed to upholding New York’s laws and protecting the rights and freedoms of all New Yorkers, regardless of political beliefs. We strongly reject any assertion to the contrary.”
For years, questions have surrounded whether New York Attorney General Letitia James was conducting a personal witch hunt against President Trump. For example, we told you how she filed a civil lawsuit against Trump, as well as against his sons and businesses. We also reported how she attempted to bankrupt him, attempting to seize his assets in New York.
Now it appears we have confirmation of the witch hunt, following the whistleblower’s shocking email saying that he’d received the orders “to find and pursue crimes committed by specific individuals and organizations affiliated with Donald Trump,” credible reason or not.
Assistant Attorney General Daniel Wiesenfeld reportedly accused James of wasting “significant public taxpayer dollars to target convenient political enemies.” He also wrote:
If you believe Trump is using the [Department of Justice] attorneys to prosecute his enemies and further his political interests, you should find it equally troubling that Tish [James] is doing exactly the same thing. . . . I ask you that you not serve as Tish’s personal attorneys by targeting her political enemies. . . . Instead, I hope you choose to prosecute crimes and find the individuals accountable, rather than targeting individuals and then finding crimes.
Mysteriously, however, shortly after this email was sent to 2,000 people, it started vanishing from people’s inboxes. According to others familiar with the communication, the email was later replaced with a new agency-wide email from the general counsel for AG Letitia James, informing employees that an internal matter was taking place and no one in the office was “in danger.”
Think about this, though – we have a whistleblower within the New York Attorney General’s office, stating publicly that the Attorney General was actively targeting her political enemies. He even appealed to his colleagues not to serve as James’ personal attorneys by targeting her political enemies.
It seems clear all along that targeting President Trump and his allies was Letitia James’ goal. She said as much in 2018 when she campaigned to be the Attorney General of New York. We know that she found a way to bring a civil suit against the President in her state. At the same time, we told you how AG James herself has been accused of mortgage fraud.
It is high time that AG James be held accountable for her corrupt behavior.
