Bureau Chief Shamiso Maswoswe (shown) specifically directed a prosecutor to target “(a) Trump himself, (b) Truth Social, (c) Hewlett Packard without having a credible reason for targeting the organizations and the listed individuals."

FTA----Trump feds had recently approved a $14B Hewlett-Packard and Juniper Networks merger.

“If you believe Trump is using DOJ 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,” prosecutor Wiesenfeld allegedly wrote in the message, which went to some 2,000 staffers before being yanked.

======================================================

REFERENCE: It is fundamentally unconstitutional for a prosecutor to target and charge individuals without evidence of a crime. Under the U.S. Constitution, several safeguards strictly prohibit the government from bringing arbitrary or baseless criminal charges against a citizen.The primary constitutional principles that protect individuals from being targeted without evidence include:

1. The Due Process Clause (Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments)The Due Process Clause guarantees that no person can be "deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law".Probable Cause Requirement: For a prosecutor to formally charge someone, there must be a threshold level of evidence known as probable cause. Ethical rules, such as ABA Model Rule 3.8(a), specifically state that a prosecutor must refrain from pursuing a charge that they know is not supported by probable cause.

Vindictive Prosecution: If a prosecutor targets someone out of personal animus, political rivalry, or to retaliate against them for exercising a constitutional right (such as free speech), it is a violation of due process.

2. The Equal Protection Clause (Fourteenth Amendment)Selective Prosecution: A prosecutor cannot target a specific individual or group based on arbitrary or discriminatory classifications, such as race, religion, gender, or political beliefs. While prosecutors have broad "prosecutorial discretion" to decide which cases to pursue, they cannot use that discretion to target people for unconstitutional reasons.

3. The Grand Jury Clause (Fifth Amendment)On the federal level, the Fifth Amendment requires that any felony charge be initiated by a grand jury indictment. The prosecutor must present actual evidence to a panel of ordinary citizens, who must agree that there is probable cause that a crime was committed before the case can move forward.

Except if the citizen’s surname is Trump. She also came after his adult children.

From Daily Wire:
New York Attorney General Letitia James staked her entire career on taking down President Donald Trump through highly controversial and unprecedented legal warfare — but now everything is falling apart.

James, who expressly campaigned on “leading the resistance” to “take on” the president, took another blow on Thursday, when an appeals court panel struck down the absurd penalty handed to Trump in a James-backed civil fraud case.
...Indeed, James ran on trying to destroy Trump, a venture she’s so far failed.

While running for AG in 2017, James asked New Yorkers to vote for her since she would go after Trump. “I’ve been leading the resistance against Donald Trump in NYC and will only continue to do so in every way possible,” she posted.


ABC News in 2025:
“I will never be afraid to challenge this illegitimate president,” James said in a video after winning the Democratic primary that year.

Thanks Liz. Citizens of the Republic are aware of our Laws in general, but it’s sometimes useful to be taught details of the Law we are not familiar with. So I his a valuable service you are shedding on the dark schemes of America’s enemies.

Update: Investor Protection Bureau Chief Shamiso Maswoswe is reportedly facing scrutiny from federal investigators following whistleblower accusations that she directed staff to target individuals and organizations without a credible legal basis.

The controversy emerged in late August 2026 after an Assistant Attorney General within New York Attorney General Letitia James’ office, Daniel Wiesenfeld, sent an office-wide email to over 2,000 colleagues. Wiesenfeld alleged that Shamiso Maswoswe specifically instructed him to find and pursue crimes against high-profile political targets—including Donald Trump, Truth Social, and Hewlett-Packard—despite lacking a credible baseline reason to investigate them.

In his leaked message, Wiesenfeld criticized the practice, stating that prosecutors should not “target individuals and then find crimes”.


Current Status of the Investigation
Federal Interviews: Media reports indicate that FBI and Department of Justice (DOJ) investigators have interviewed the whistleblower, Daniel Wiesenfeld, regarding these targeting claims.Internal Fallout: Following the email leak, the New York State Attorney General’s office reportedly deleted the email from its internal servers. The agency confirmed that Wiesenfeld was placed on administrative leave, categorizing the issue as an internal personnel matter.
