Top federal prosecutor and several assistants for the SDNY quit after Trump’s DOJ orders them to drop Eric Adam’s case

[Bowlmania]

The acting US Attorney for the Southern District was appointed by Trump. She has impeccable credentials, and refused to do his (and Emil Bove’s) bidding here. Balls and integrity.

The feds in the Southern District are the cream of the crop. The office has enjoyed a stellar reputation for decades due in large part to its success in prosecuting cases of national importance, and its refusal to buckle to political pressure.

Trump and Bove will be sure to replace these outstanding prosecutors with lackeys.

Edit: Thread title should read “…Eric Adams case.”

Adams and Blagojevich were both charged with corruption, both were pardoned. We need to reduce the number of people in government so there is more left to loot.

Maybe this will help explain it?

Danielle Sassoon, the US Attorney who resigned because she wouldn’t comply with the Trump administration’s order to shut down a strong case against the corrupt mayor of the city of New York, has impeccable credentials. And she’s hardly some liberal icon. Member of the Federalist Society, clerked for Scalia.

Again the message is “do Trump’s bidding or you’re gone.”

Who is Danielle Sassoon? What we know as U.S. attorney resigns

Another prosecutor has resigned in a scathing letter to Emil Bove, formerly Trump’s defense attorney and now Deputy Attorney General.

“No system of ordered liberty can allow the Government to use the carrot of dismissing charges, or the stick of threatening to bring them again, to induce an elected official to support its policy objectives."

The prosecutor is a Harvard Law grad, served in Special Ops in Iraq, and clerked for Kavanaugh and Roberts.

Complete joke, too, that Trump’s criminal defense attorney is now the #2 at Justice.

But, I guess I kind of see his point. There are so many in this administration that it would be confusing - no one would know who you were referring to.

Gotta be real, as Elon Musk has proclaimed X to be the #1 news site in the world.
