Nikki Haley Smashes Corrupt Letitia James, Increases Calls To Investigate The Social Justice NYC AG

4 min read

The bitter and corrupt Attorney General on New York, social justice warrior Letitia James is on the hot seat this week as Republican members of Congress demand some consequences into the massive abuse of power James has displayed going after President Donald J. Trump, in what appears to me some nasty political theater to help aid her failing re-elecion bid.

James has been expolition her authority for some solid bread and circuses ahead of the November election and some GOP members are sick of what they are seeing- and demanding it stop.

“Half a dozen Republican members of Congress have written a letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland calling for a Justice Department investigation into New York Attorney General Letitia “Tish” James over the latest in a line of brazenly partisan shenanigans from her office,” Biz Pac review reported, adding:

“The representatives who are all from New York are requesting the federal probe after former South Carolina governor and U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley’s nonprofit group Stand For America had its tax filings, along with donor information, leaked to Politico which published them.

The documents bore the stamp of the New York State Attorney General’s office which is headed up by James who has repeatedly abused her position to pursue political vendettas, particularly against former President Donald J. Trump and his family.”

“The release of Stand For America’s donor records is extremely concerning,” Rep. Nicole Malliotakis said in a statement to Fox News Digital. “Not only does it jeopardize protections non-profits are afforded under federal law, but it also sets a dangerous precedent of political weaponization by a state Attorney General.”

“This leak warrants an immediate investigation by the Department of Justice,” she added.

Conservatives are tired of liberals weaponizing the government against us.

Thank you @RepMalliotakis @RepStefanik @RepJohnKatko @RepGarbarino @RepTenney @RepJacobs for standing with @StandForAmerica and demanding accountability for the NYAG’s abuse of power:

“In the letter to Garland which is signed by Malliotakis, whose district covers parts of Staten Island and Brooklyn along with five of her House colleagues who also represent the Empire State, the lawmakers express their “‘distinct concern’ of the ‘potential illegal delivery, receipt, and publication of’ private donor information, citing that 501(c)4 donors’ information is legally confidential,” according to Fox News,” BizPac reported.

“As release of these records creates a dangerous precedent for the political weaponization of NYAGO, the US Department of Justice (DOJ) must investigate the malicious delivery of SFA donor information by NYAGO to an outside politically aligned organization to protect the safety and privacy of all nonprofit donor organizations registered in New York,” the lawmakers wrote in the leter dated October 11, 2022.

“As reported by Politico’s Alex Isenstadt on August 26, 2022, a political watchdog organization called Documented ‘obtained an unredacted copy of Stand For America’s 2019 filings, which it then shared with Politico,’” the letter reads. “‘The group did not share the original source of the filing, but it bears a stamp from the charity office of the New York State Attorney General.’”

“It is imperative that the DOJ evaluate and ascertain whether protections extended to organizations such as SFA were violated with political motivation to mitigate potential erosions of the rights to free speech afforded under the First Amendment,” the lawmakers state in the letter.

“As the NYAGO would normally be tasked with the investigation of such a matter and the office’s potential involvement in this troubling situation, the DOJ must conduct an immediate investigation to avoid any impartiality and ensure equal justice is afforded to SFA and any other nonprofit organization that may be impacted by similar matters in the future,” they concluded.

Joining Rep. Malliotakis in appealing to Biden’s top legal hatchetman are Reps. Elise Stefanik, John Katko, Andrew Garbarino, Claudia Tenney, and Chris Jacobs.

From the article that Haley responded to in her above post:

The filings were leaked by Politico in late August after being provided the documents by the political watchdog organization Documented, who did not say where they got the documents from. The published documents appear to have the stamp of the New York Attorney General’s charity office.

“The release of Stand For America’s donor records is extremely concerning,” Malliotakis told Fox News Digital in a statement. “Not only does it jeopardize protections non-profits are afforded under federal law, but it also sets a dangerous precedent of political weaponization by a state Attorney General.”

“This leak warrants an immediate investigation by the Department of Justice,” the New York Republican added.

In the letter exclusively obtained by Fox News Digital, Malliotakis and her fellow lawmakers shared their “distinct concern” of the “potential illegal delivery, receipt, and publication of” private donor information, citing that 501(c)4 donors’ information is legally confidential.

The Republicans accused James of leaking the unredacted tax document containing the data and called on Garland and the Department of Justice (DOJ) to “investigate the malicious delivery” of the documents with Stand For America’s donor information.

Haley described the leak of donors last month:
