Attorney General Letitia James Accused of Turning Office into Political Revenge Tool

In a sharply worded email, former Brooklyn prosecutor Daniel Wiesenfeld accused Attorney General Letitia James of directing her office to manufacture a case against Donald Trump, telling staff to locate “any crime.” Wiesenfeld alleges that Bureau Chief Shamiso Maswoswe pushed the effort toward Trump, his Truth Social platform, and a DOJ-approved Hewlett Packard merger without solid justification. He criticizes the use of public funds on these politically motivated actions while real issues like nonprofit shelter fraud and antisemitic incidents go unaddressed.

James’s civil lawsuit resulted in a hefty fine that was largely reversed on appeal, and her promise to confiscate Trump assets never materialized. The commentator also links James’s tactics to previous aggressive actions against the NRA and pro-life groups, suggesting a pattern of law-fare aimed at rallying a base rather than securing convictions. The piece concludes that voters who elected James share responsibility for endorsing such a strategy.
