M.D. Kittle writes for the Federalist about the latest bad news for anti-Trump forces within government.
New York Attorney General Letitia James has run her office like a mob boss, using taxpayer money to fund political vendettas. The DEI Democrat campaigned for the office in 2018 on a platform of going after President Donald Trump.
Now, a new bombshell email appears to show just how deep the corrupt attorney general’s office is willing to go to get their man and his allies.
It’s exhibit A of why New Yorkers “should be embarrassed, disappointed, and disgusted by their chief law enforcement officer,” one government watchdog attorney tells The Federalist.
As the Albany Times Union first reported, New York Assistant Attorney General Daniel Wiesenfeld on Friday morning blasted out an email to his 2,000 colleagues about how he has been pressured to get Trump and his allies.
Wiesenfeld, assigned to the agency’s Investor Protection Bureau, wrote in the email that his supervisor, Shamiso Maswoswe, had told him to “find and pursue crimes committed by specific individuals and organizations affiliated with Donald Trump.” He said he was to “target Trump himself, Truth Social, Hewlett Packard (DOJ approved merger) … without having a credible reason for targeting this organizations and individuals.”
The prosecutor, who has worked in the AG’s office for seven years, was placed on administrative leave, according to the news outlet. His email was quickly deleted from the office’s servers and disappeared from the employees’ inboxes. Staff then received a follow-up email from one of James’ executive assistants asserting that Wiesenfeld’s damning email was an “internal” matter and that agency employees were not “in danger,” individuals familiar with the message told the Albany newspaper. …
… The whistleblower made sure he spoke his peace before he blew up his bridge with the notorious New York Attorney General’s office.
“The best part of having f–k you money is being able to tell the truth, without fear of consequences so here we go,” Wiesenfeld began in his email, according to a readout provided to The New York Post.
