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

Two other Justice Department officials resigned after being ordered to dismiss corruption charges against NYC Mayor Eric Adams.

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.

DOJ will need 'fool,' 'coward' to toss Eric Adams case, says seventh prosecutor to resign over order

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

well according to musk, if we notice anything, we can just say so and that counts as oversight.

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.

Another problem is it’s “Elon” with an F.

“Felon” may be banned from the White House but there are still plenty of alternatives:

It's great it triggers some on here. Most nobody else cares. My wife voted biden in 2020. But her bills went higher and she changed in 2024. Call him all you want it doesn't change why he won.

She did the right thing. If only Jack Smith had balls like her.

Nothing he did necessitated resignation or a decision not to prosecute.

You might be right, but Smith is still incompetent and ideological. The perfect lawyer to obey an order to prosecute Trump for J6

I know you’re all in on him, but there is no doubt in my mind that he deserved prosecution for his illegal efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election. More so even for the classified documents case. However, it no longer matters. He’s our duly elected President and therefore above the law. God bless America!

I hope Biden took a bunch of documents to sell in eBay to see people's opinions turn 180.

That would be fun to see but obviously would be wrong

We all know they have different standards for their side or rather no standards

 

[CO. Hoosier]

I know you’re all in on him,

You should know better. I’m pleased he won instead of the thoroughly incompetent Harris, but if you have been paying attention, you know I oppose Trump and many conservative republicans on three big issues.

If the violation was so clear cut, why did Smith have to dredge up a stagnant KKK law and then twist it In a way never intended, to prosecute him? Or why did Smith twist Sarbanes Oxley to prosecute in a way the Supreme Court reversed for all J6 defendants?

He’s our duly elected President and therefore above the law.

That’s absolutely not true. This makes you sound like a crazy democrat.

You know I’m not a crazy Democrat. I despise moonbats even a bit more than our wingnuts. Smith revised his indictment of Trump to account for the Supreme Court ruling. Wasn’t a big change. No doubt he was guilty based on the evidence. Like I said, it’s irrelevant because he is above the law. That will be proven true.

It would be wrong, and if it happened he should face the consequences. Sadly that was not the position of many people here the last 3 years
