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.
 
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.

Emil Bove, the top DOJ official who told prosecutors to dismiss the case against New York's mayor, represented Donald Trump in a criminal trial last year.

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.

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?

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.

I said in 2020, the Dems would be smart to just let it go and not prosecute anything. Yeah, at times I got mad and wanted to see Trump punished. J6 was a stain on national history, and he was largely to blame. The boxes of classified docs on stage in MAL were so stupendously stupid, you want him prosecuted just for being a dumbass. But I knew that going after him would only push people to his side. CO.H is a great example of what I was talking about. We all know he has the mental capacity to not be a lemming. But a lemming he has become nonetheless.

Now, don't get me wrong, I don't think the folks who rightfully prosecuted Trump are morally to blame for folks like CO.H transforming into what they have. But still, it was eminently predictable, and the smart move would have been to let Trump just ride off into the sunset unscathed. We'd still probably have a GOP government right now, considering the disaster that Biden was, but maybe it wouldn't be Trump. Maybe it would be someone reasonable. Someone with intelligence and gravitas. And maybe folks like CO.H would be using their considerable skills defending that reasonable, intelligent man, instead of wasting them on this laughable exercise of justifying everything that spews out of Trump's orifices.

oh my.

Calling out the DOJ for its considerable incompetence, for its ideological removal of lady justice’s blindfold, for its elevating vindictiveness to the level of due process, for its abuse of prosecutorial discretion, for abuse of process, for its excessiveness, for its ethical violations, and for its violations of law is now defending Trump?

We deserve a DOJ that should be the world’s best and a the highest gold standard. We didn’t get it.

Yup. That's everything you do. And have done for years. Every thread, every topic, you come up with a way to say, "This is what's bad about America, and the best example is what the Dems are doing with that. What we need to fix it is this, and the best way to do it is what the GOP is doing with that." I mean, it's plain partisan hackery, but you're good at it. But, you'd be doing it no matter who was in office. If we had a President Rubio, you'd be defending President Rubio. If we had a President Harris, you'd be lambasting a President Harris. It's what we expect from you. But we don't have those Presidents. We have a President Trump. So you defend President Trump. You're a team player, which is fine. Lots of posters are. It's just sad that your team has devolved into what it is now, because the team you're playing for has become embarrassing in very short order.

Hm

Now you are going beyond the DOJ’s Trump-induced failures.

If you wanna talk about Trump and GOP politics in general, I’d welcome that discussion. But not tonight.

I will say that the Biden presidency, the cover-up of his dementia, and the manner of his near nomination and the Harris substitution is a much larger stain on American history than J6 ever will be. I’m pleased that she is not President.

Thought experiment and a simple yes or no on the following questions:

Is holding the Adams prosecution over his head to ensure immigration compliance ethical?

Does it constitute removing lady justices blindfold for ideological reasons?

Is it an abuse of process?

I am not a lawyer, I don't usually delve too deep into the law threads because what I have to offer is trumped by half of the people's expertise here. I also know that lawyers can and will argue both sides and that there is almost always an explanation provided with the answer. All that being said, I think from a layman's view that I can answer yes to at least some of those questions above. If you can too, shouldn't we be holding our people's feet to the fire to make sure that they don't act like the administration we just got rid of?
