Whistleblower: NY AG and Gigantic Hag "Tish" James Commanded Her Underlings to Find (or Contrive) Criminal Charges Against Trump -- and His Friends and Allies

This is abuse of office. A prosecutor is supposed to investigate a crime and find the guilty party, not investigate a person to discover crimes (or, in this case, "crimes").

Before anyone can say it: Nothing will happen, of course.

Prosecutor in NY AG Letitia James' office says he was ordered to dig up dirt on Trump allies: report

A veteran prosecutor in state Attorney General Letitia James' office claims he was ordered to dig up dirt on people and groups "affiliated with Donald Trump," according to a bombshell report.

Daniel Wiesenfeld, a former Brooklyn prosecutor who now works in James' Investor Protection Bureau, said his boss instructed him "to find and pursue crimes" committed by Trump allies, according to a since-deleted email obtained by the Times-Union.

Wiesenfeld alleged in his email on Friday that Bureau Chief Shamiso Maswoswe specifically directed him to target "Trump himself, Truth Social, Hewlett Packard (DOJ approved merger)... without having a credible reason for targeting the organizations and individuals," the outlet reported.

...

"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," Wiesenfeld allegedly wrote in the message, which went to some 2,000 staffers before being yanked.

"I ask you that you not serve as Tish's personal attorneys by targeting her political enemies," he allegedly wrote. "Instead, I hope you choose to prosecute crimes and find the individuals accountable, rather than targeting individuals and then finding crimes."

Weisenfeld asked that colleagues focus on prosecuting "rampant nonprofit homeless shelter fraud and antisemitic crimes in and around synagogues," and accused James of wasting "significant public taxpayer dollars to target convenient public enemies," Times-Union reported.

...

During her 2018 campaign, James vowed to "prosecute the president for crimes committed in New York state" if she was elected -- and kept her word after taking over the office.

...

Ex-Gov. Andrew Cuomo's former aide Melissa DeRosa ripped James on X Sunday.

"@TishJames has been abusing her office for political gain for years.

"Don't criticize Trump's use of DOJ if you're not going to call out hers -/ it's wrong when either side does it."

I don't think Trump is doing this at all. He's prosecuting the people who wrongfully prosecuted him -- and if, as they say, "no one is above the law," then they have endorsed their own prosecutions.

Remember, Trump talked about throwing Hillary in jail but as soon as he was elected he ditched that entirely, implicitly conceding it was just campaign fodder.

More:

His first-hand knowledge doesn't directly implicate James: He alleges only that his direct superior, Investor Protection Bureau Chief Shamiso Maswoswe, told him to target "Trump himself, Truth Social, Hewlett Packard (DOJ approved merger)" without bothering to first find "a credible reason for targeting the organizations and individuals."

But he (understandably) believes Maswoswe was following orders from James, who after all ran for the office vowing to target Trump.

The AG's office of course denies everything, immediately put Wiesenfeld on leave and no doubt will seek to crucify him.

After all, this is highly credible testimony that could easily be the final nail in tossing James' civil-case victory over Trump and quite possibly cost her this fall's election -- and even, should investigators find enough other testimony or hard evidence, put her in serious criminal jeopardy.

...

Tish James prefers to prosecute cops and her political enemies; let's hope she's soon out of government, if not in prison.

Is the bad ad gone? I only noticed it a couple of weeks ago and wrongly assumed that whatever company was paying for the ad would just stop paying for it and it would go away. I didn't expect them to camp on the site forever.

I think it's gone now. I hope.
