DOJ, RIP

What behavior?

Which New York mayor?

The one who didn’t fall in line? Or the previous ones too?

Destroying evidence and trying to bribe a prosecutor.

Quitting?

She could have just said No. put the ball back in Bondi’s court. That’s taking a stand.

This just looks like the typical, get the yearend bonus and go to your $500k a year corporate litigation law job. Like most scotus clerks do.

Read her letter dated 2/12. She said No - and then she was forced to resign today.

That letter is damning. Bove needs to resign, he's a complete dirtbag

I attended a meeting on January 31, 2025, with Mr. Bove, Adams’s counsel, and members of my office. Adams’s attorneys repeatedly urged what amounted to a quid pro quo, indicating that Adams would be in a position to assist with the Department’s enforcement priorities only if the indictment were dismissed. Mr. Bove admonished a member of my team who took notes during that meeting and directed the collection of those notes at the meeting’s conclusion.

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.

They must have gotten good offers from top firms to resign so easily. Lawyers are going to make bank with all the stuff Trump is pulling.

Bribe what prosecutor when and by whom?

They probably will get good offers soon. But no, they probably don't have them now.

Bove's request and Adam's behavior are egregious. This was an easy decision to make (but absolutely the last one anyone wants to be faced with), for any ethical lawyer.

Karen is on Twitter /X for years ripping on Trump and Mayor Adams.

Good lawyers with PE husbands go in/out of public and private sector jobs all the time. And take time off to blog, raise children, volunteer, etc.

So will the lackey that takes up this case end up losing their bar license? That's standard practice with Trump minions.

Emil Bove should be disbarred. I looked him up and his wiki page hasn't been updated yet re Sassoon's letter.
