A prosecutor from New York Attorney General Letitia James\u2019 (D) office was reportedly placed on leave after sending an agency-wide email alleging directions pertaining to President Donald Trump.<\/p>\n

More than a decade since the billionaire businessman entered the political arena, it\u2019s no mystery that the left has favored underhanded schemes and lawfare as tools to target and obstruct Trump. Friday, the Times-Union reported<\/a> that former Brooklyn prosecutor Daniel Wiesenfeld blew the whistle on James\u2019 office, emailing over 2,000 colleagues about alleged instructions to \u201cfind and pursue crimes\u201d to link to the president and affiliates \u201cwithout having a credible reason for targeting\u201d them.<\/p>\n

Having obtained the email, that was said to have been deleted and scrubbed from the inboxes of all recipients, the outlet reported how Wiesenfeld, as a member of the Investor Protection Bureau of the AG\u2019s office, accused Bureau Chief Shamiso Maswoswe of directing him to target \u201cTrump himself, Truth Social, [and] Hewlett Packard\u201d as the latter had a merger approved by the Justice Department<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you believe Trump is using the [Justice Department] attorneys to prosecute his enemies and further his political interests, you should find it equally troubling that Tish is doing exactly the same thing,\u201d wrote Wiesenfeld. \u201cI ask you that you not serve as Tish\u2019s 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

The attorney general\u2019s civil case against the president and his organization regarding overstated property value has widely been viewed as an example of her fulfilling campaign promises to go after Trump.<\/p>\n

Past remarks feature James giddily promising, \u201cWe\u2019re definitely gonna sue him. We\u2019re gonna be a real pain in the a**,\u201d as part of a get-out-the-vote effort. He\u2019s gonna know my name personally.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wiesenfeld, who was reportedly placed on paid administrative leave, further accused the attorney general\u2019s office of wasting \u201csignificant public taxpayer dollars to target convenient public enemies.\u201d<\/p>\n

In a response to a request for comment, James spokesperson Alexis Richards told the Times-Union, \u201cThis is a personnel matter, and the employee in question has been placed on administrative leave with full pay. The office of the attorney general is committed to upholding New York\u2019s laws and protecting the rights and freedoms of all New Yorkers, regardless of political beliefs. We strongly reject any assertion to the contrary.\u201d<\/p>\n

The outlet also reported that, after Wiesenfeld\u2019s email was said to have been deleted, a follow-up email was sent by James\u2019 general counsel Kumiki Gibson describing the incident as an \u201cinternal\u201d matter and that no employee was \u201cin danger.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nicole Kiprilov, spokesperson for James\u2019 opponent in the New York attorney general race, Republican nominee Saritha Komatireddy, told<\/a> the New York Post, \u201cWhen Saritha is attorney general, she will instruct her attorneys to lock up repeat offenders, build residential treatment for the homeless, and root out fraud \u2014 not target people because of their politics.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s good to see that even the rank-and-file in the AG\u2019s office agree that this is the right way forward,\u201d continued Kiprilov. \u201cLet\u2019s work together \u2014 across partisan lines \u2014 and create a safer, more affordable New York.\u201d<\/p>\n
