DOJ, RIP

[Anonymous]

Danielle Sassoon, the interim US Attorney for SDNY resigned this afternoon, instead of following orders to drop the federal case against Eric Adams (she's no liberal -- she's a former Scalia clerk who prosecuted Sam Bankman-Fried). Also, several AUSAs in SDNY - the ones who worked on the Adams case - have been placed on administrative leave.

Emil Bove (DOJ #2), in accepting Ms. Sassoon’s resignation, informed her that the prosecutors who worked on the case were being placed on administrative leave, and would be investigated by the attorney general and the Justice Department’s internal investigative arm. He told Ms. Sassoon both bodies would also evaluate her conduct.

Then Pam Bondi and Bove tried to transfer the case to the DOJ Public Integrity section in DC. In response, the two lawyers who lead that section both resigned.

Why don't Bondi and Bove go into court themselves and drop the Adams case? Let them explain to the judge how it's not at all political and serves justice.

Glad someone is willing to stand up to Bondis corruption!

This sort of leadership is missing from my agency.

Yes - this is how to topple the Trump regime, from the inside! Republicans like Sassoon have to refuse to do their bidding.

Which dictionary did you use for "Corruption"?

I wish members of Congress would take a lesson from Sassoon. That is what it looks like to have a spine and moral conviction.

So many resignations!

This.
Scalia would be proud and that’s not a bad thing at all. All patriotic Americans should applaud this.

Funny that some of the resignations are Trump people.

The order to drop the case literally says it is not based on the strength of the case, but instead because Adam’s is helping Trump with his immigration policies. Obvious quid pro quo corruption in black and white.

+1 As much as I disagreed with Scalia, he would not allow the judicial branch to be complicit with a corrupt executive. No way.

They will simply replace them with lackeys.

Bove sent an EIGHT PAGE letter in response to Sassoon's resignation - get a life, dude.

After her office refused to drop the charges, Justice Department officials sought to move the case to the agency's Public Integrity Section in Washington, which oversees all federal public corruption cases, multiple sources said.

John Keller, the acting head of the Public Integrity Section, then resigned after also refusing to drop the Adams case, two sources said.

Kevin Driscoll, the acting head of the department's criminal division, which oversees federal criminal cases nationwide, also refused to drop the charges and resigned.

After Sassoon informed Bove of her resignation, Bove sent her a blistering 8-page letter in which he blasted her refusal to immediately drop the case. Bove also placed at least two other New York federal prosecutors who worked on the case on leave, according to a copy of the letter obtained by NBC News.

"The Justice Department will not tolerate the insubordination and apparent misconduct reflected in the approach that you and your office have taken in this matter," Bove wrote. "Your office’s insubordination is little more than a preference to avoid a duty that you regard as unpleasant and politically inconvenient."

It’s difficult for Bondi to have her lack of ethics highlighted.
