That's going to leave a mark.

“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.”

Wow, well put.

And currently at Main DOJ, this is happening

DOJ leadership has put all Public Integrity Section lawyers into a room with 1 hour to decide who will dismiss Adams indictment or else all will be fired. Sending them strength to stand by their oath, which is to support the Constitution, not the president’s political agenda. 🇺🇸

Strong rumor with credible sourcing: DOJ has put all of public integrity line attorneys in a room and told them they have an hour for someone to choose who will sign motion to dismiss and if nobody does, they will all be fired. The nastiest strong-arming in DOJ history by a long shot.

Our country can't survive 4 years of this.

Heroes all, but they're going to be replaced with Trump people with zero morals and then what?

My God, this is terrible. I can only imagine the pressure these people are under. Ethics, their livelihood and the potential for being doxxed/terrorized by an unethical regime.

I really wish feds like this attorney could understand how bad they look to “the other side”. It is constitutionally permissible for the Executive to make a “mistake”.

I get that this prosecutor disagrees with the policy choice being made. I might even disagrees, too. But the self-importance and messiah complex of this so-called civil servant oozes out of his letter. Sorry, you don’t get to make this decision, bubba. It belongs to the elected officials and their delegates. Resign if you must, but making this a public spectacle and using words akin to “ALMOST a quid pro quo” is just unbecoming.

I’m starting to get the feeling that feds see themselves as guardians of not just the constitution but of fundamental policy choices. The narcissism of late Gen Xers and millennials made them wholly unfit for civil service.

It’s almost like they knew they were all going to leave.

And who wants to be Interim anything. You know a new appointee is going to get it. It’s like being in a PIP.

Go make $1m a year elsewhere for awhile

Sassoon was the new appointee from the Trump administration.

Deputy holdover from Biden Administration who was promoted to interim.

This. Very common. DOJ always clears house from R to D to R to D admin changes. Wake up.

This reads like a serious post but it must be trolling. Right? Right...?

The case against Adams is weak and he has a political and personal target on his back from Democrat New Yorkers. They are inconsistently applying the law, finally now, to him only, because the Dems didn't like him.

Well now the Dems aren't in charge so their witch hunts will cease. All the leftist podcasts in the world won't change that.

It may be a surprise to you, but all lawyers swear an oath when they are admitted to the bar. Some take it more seriously than others.

The one who files this motion may keep their job for the time being, but when the pendulum swings they will never work as a lawyer again. That’s quite a lot to ask of someone with 30+ years to go.

Enough lawyers have been burned by Trump that all but the total fools know better.

You can read the letters. You don't have to take anyone's word for who comes out looking bad.

You’re right. One letter talks in platitudes and the other in specifics. One letter talks in legal theories the other talks in facts.

But it comes down to one simple question for me: Did DOJ give a constitutionally permissible order? The answer seems to be yes and the field office substituted its judgment.

Like I said, field office looks worse.

Field office also looks like a political puppet because it wasted time, money and resources cooking up a weak political personal vendetta case against Mayor Adams, whilst turning a blind eye to all the others who did the same and worse (than taking a free hotel upgrade) and other major crimes and trials.

So you're good with the "policy choice" of the President using the threat of criminal prosecution to make elected officials do his bidding?

But what about the self-importance of your post? You just condemned 2 generations of pubic servants as being narcissists.
And, you know very very little about the laws and rules they are attempting to uphold and have worked to do so for years.

The Acting USA saw a chance to turn herself into this year's Preet Bharara and took it. Smart career move with zero downside and all upside. She was going to end up a big law white collar partner anyway and just moved up the timeline to cash in. I wouldn't call her a hero for it, but plenty of you will.

Right, I'm sure the prosecutor resigned because she didn't have any evidence and it was just a "politically motivated case". Pull the other one, sport.

Karen agnifilo is a well-documented leftist haters of Adams and Trump via their tweets, vlogs, blogs and podcasts. She wants everyone to resign for private sector after she took time off ten years ago and did management there until quitting as well.

She just hates Adams and Trump, as per her years of tweets.

Guess who picks who they try or not? Politicians.

Democrat politicans pushed the lame Adam's case when he wouldn't do all of their favors, and now vice versa (though cleaning out illegal alien criminals shouldn't be a political favor, it should just be done).

Pretty obvious what's going on here outside of the leftist echo chambers.
