Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascon woke up and sent police to the home of the prosecutor who denounced her soft-on-crime policies in an attempt to intimidate her.

A Los Angeles district attorney’s whistleblower said her progressive boss, George Gascón, sent police officers to her home to intimidate her after she exposed a memo about prosecuting street racing crimes.

Deputy District Attorney Tatiana Chahoian said two police officers came to her door to hand her a disciplinary letter after she claimed the district attorney was pressuring prosecutors not to file charges for street racing, shooting street possession and reckless driving.

The young prosecutor said FOX 11 He fears losing his job in retaliation for speaking out about a Gascón memo that said people arrested for reckless driving should not be charged.

Footage from Chahoain’s Ring doorbell camera showed two plainclothes investigators from the Los Angeles District Attorney’s Office handing her a letter reprimanding her for speaking out.

“I mean, silencing people by threatening them with the police is literally a mafia tactic, and I don’t work for the mafia,” Chahoian said.

“We don’t live in a third world country where they send police to people’s homes to intimidate them into silence.”

He said that the personal delivery of the disciplinary letter by the officers is abnormal and that every other time Gascón sends important messages he does so by email.

‘It was a three-page letter telling me I lied, telling me I violated policies with Gascón’s office and that I didn’t get approval before speaking, as if I didn’t have a First Amendment right, and essentially telling me to keep quiet and meet with my supervisor. “Chahoian said.

“It’s unbelievable that he could retaliate and I could lose my job that I’ve worked so hard for because I said something my boss didn’t like.”

Gascón’s office told FOX 11: ‘We cannot comment on specific personnel matters. That said, honesty is vitally important for any prosecutor’s office.”

‘Addressing false claims made by District Attorney staff or the media is a fundamental responsibility of this office; Failure to do so fuels distrust in the important work we do every day, undermining our duty to the public and justice.’

The policy states that alternatives to criminal sentences should be considered for those charged with street racing, such as avoiding criminal enhancement charges, which can significantly increase the prison sentence, “which would turn an otherwise neutral crime into matter of immigration into one detrimental to immigration.

Chahoian said he was “in shock” when he received the memo from the district attorney’s office ordering prosecutors not to charge for street racing.

“Essentially, when we receive a case alleging that there were people running, driving recklessly, or engaging in a street takeover, we would dismiss those charges, meaning we decline to prosecute this case, and refer it to a court hearing. in the office,” Chahoian said.

According to Chahoian, the suspects ‘would talk a little; It’s like going to the principal’s office and there are no repercussions afterwards.’

‘The same conduct we are talking about here is the same conduct that results in the deaths of so many people. “It’s like saying if someone shoots someone else, and they’re a bad shooter, and they miss, we’re not going to press charges because nothing happened,” Chahoian said.

Gascón, famous for his progressive views, is running for re-election on Tuesday and has nearly a dozen challengers seeking to unseat the soft-on-crime district attorney.

He has been accused of allowing thousands of cases to pile up and forcing dozens of prosecutors to resign.

Gascón’s “woke” policies have caused public distrust, according to a former Los Angeles prosecutor, who said generous plea deals allow criminals to get out of prison without serving difficult sentences or crimes going unprosecuted. ​at all.

Gascón is a former San Francisco police chief who won office in Democratic-led Los Angeles in November 2020 as part of a wave of progressive prosecutors elected across the country.

He ran on a platform of criminal justice reform after a summer of unrest following the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis.

Los Angeles is a heavily Democratic city known for its progressive politics, but Gascón has faced criticism from business leaders and prosecutors in his own office for policies they considered ineffective in curbing the rise in crime.
