The Rolling Corruption behind the Letitia James Prosecution - emptywheel

Any remaining doubt about the existence of DOJ's possession of material that might go towards establishing AG James' vindictive or selective claims was obviated by the Government's November 4, 2025, filing of its Notice of Reasons for Not Providing Pre-Vindictive/Selective Prosecution Motion Related Discovery. See DE-46. The Government's filing states that it "bears no such obligation until a defendant 'overcomes a significant barrier by advancing objective evidence tending to show the existence of prosecutorial misconduct.'" Id. at 1 (quoting Wilson, 262 F.3d at 315).68 AG James has exceeded that burden, and more.
