Trial and Terror: We the People Pay the Price of Lawfare when Prosecutors Play Politics with their Power
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt was pressed on the actions of New York Attorney General Letitia James, who has made clear that making President Trump a target for political reasons was her overarching objective. For James Linlor, this case epitomizes the broader crisis of “Lawfare” that has touched him personally.
The concept is simple but devastating. When justice is no longer blind, it becomes a weapon. Letitia James embodies this problem. Her stated mission to “get Trump” was not rooted in legal principle but in political ambition. In Linlor’s view, this undermines the very foundation of the American system of justice, where checks and balances are designed to protect citizens from abuses of power. As he points out, the framers of the Constitution understood human nature. They built safeguards precisely because they knew that those at the top of the political ladder are not immune from corruption or greed.
They also have no one above them to hold them accountable, which is why the Declaration starts with “We the People” and taps them as the group having that power, endowed by Our Creator.
But safeguards only work if the people and their representatives enforce them. Too often, Americans are told to defer to authority figures—judges, prosecutors, or elected officials—as if holding high office automatically makes one a guardian of justice. Linlor warns that this mindset is incredibly dangerous. “Prosecutors require oversight too,” he stresses, invoking Lord Acton’s timeless warning that “absolute power corrupts absolutely.”
The unchecked rise of Lawfare threatens every American, not just political figures. Today it may be Trump, tomorrow it could be anyone who falls out of favor with those in power. Without political will and citizen vigilance, ambitious officials like James will continue to run roughshod over others, eroding faith in the rule of law itself.
James Linlor is available to speak on the dangers of Lawfare, the constitutional principles at stake, and why Americans must demand oversight of those entrusted with prosecutorial power.
In the end, Linlor insists that Lawfare is not a partisan issue but a constitutional one. Allowing prosecutors like Letitia James to openly weaponize their offices against political opponents sets a precedent that erodes liberty for everyone. Today’s target may be a high-profile political figure, but tomorrow’s target could be an activist, a journalist, or any citizen who dares to challenge those in power. That is why We the People must remain vigilant. Lawfare thrives in silence and complacency. Only by shining a light on abuse can Americans ensure that justice remains truly just.

ABOUT JAMES LINLOR…
James Linlor is an airline captain and cybersecurity expert, with decades working for the Dept of Defense and securing our nation’s infrastructure.
Unique areas of expertise: cybersecurity, airline operations and safety
- Extorting of Gov security clearance holders without support by the DOJ, FBI, or even DCSA (Defense Counterintelligence Security Agency) or USDA (the agency losing $80m)
- rewriting of real estate laws in KS to recognize verbal contracts for perpetual rights without any payments.
He’s glad to answer questions on cybersecurity or aviation safety, but he’s found a huge hole left vulnerable by DOGE and attempts to reign in waste, fraud, and abuse.
He’s a 3rd generation farmer in Kansas, and just like credit card fraud, his land has been used secretly get payments to steal $80 million in money from the USDA farm agency, but the USDA and US Attorney and FBI have failed to investigate or follow-up on USDA documents proving this. He says it’s like your credit card being stolen, but someone else pays the bill (the federal government and all of us). For $80 million that the USDA already has the evidence on, someone should pay attention!
James is honored to support the Department of Defense. However, he warns that if someone like him can be targeted by modern-day mobsters, then any government employee could be vulnerable to extortion by foreign interests. While he himself cannot be extorted, he stresses the urgent need for government support to protect individuals from RICO-level criminal organizations.
James has reported these issues to the Department of Defense, the FBI, and even members of Congress—including Senators Klobuchar, Cruz, and Grassley—yet no one has been able to prompt the FBI to respond. He points out that this ongoing inaction is costing taxpayers significant money—over $80 million and rising—and urges the FBI, DOJ, and USDA to stop sending funds to proven criminals.
James further emphasizes that the FBI and DOJ must continue the work where DOGE left off. He hopes the public will call the FBI at 800-CALL-FBI (225-5324) and demand an investigation into whistleblower fraud. According to James, a criminal grand jury is urgently needed, as the corruption he has uncovered is both rampant and easy to stop. However, he believes local officials in Kansas are compromised, making it even more critical for citizens to take action and contact the FBI.
