Whistleblower: NY AG Ordered Vendettas on Political Opponents – Including Trump
Hot Air ^ | 1 Sep 2026 | Ed Morrissey

Will Letitia James face any consequences for using the Attorney General's office to persecute political opponents? Or will voters in New York reward her for doing, well, pretty much what she explicitly promised to accomplish?

I know which way I'm betting.

Two days ago, one of James' assistant AGs went public to accuse her of ordering political vendettas, almost all of them without cause. The New York Post's editorial board called Daniel Wiesenfeld "the Whistleblower of the Year," but perhaps he might end up as the Jeremiah of the Empire State. Make no mistake, though – these allegations would certainly be abuses of power if corroborated:

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.

Zimbabwe, on the largest GDP in the world. That’s what’s at stake. We are very close to the stage where the “people’s front” begins death squad patrols in pick-up trucks, looking for enemies of the regime to necklace, chop up with machetes, or toss off hi-rise buildings.

woke black women are the jihadis and suicide bombers of the Left

When Democrats have a really outrageous, constitutionally questionable, and legally-dangerous political scheme to push, they won’t do it themselves - they’ll give it to a brainwashed, woke black woman.

Yes.
And the Republican party will play stupid and not pay attention to it, again.
The idiots running the party need to go.
Thune et al should be removed.

This would be a very serious scandal if a Republican had done it.

This dirt on Letitia is huge. No wonder CNN is silent about it.

If she wants a war against the political opposition, I hope there are some capable conservatives that take her up on the challenge. There are people in the south that hunt porkers like her with packs of hog dogs.

This is just how Democrats in office operate, and how Democrat voters WANT them to operate.
