[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Pam Bondi and Todd Blanche (!) have pushed back and defended Siebert.

So far, today, he has not been fired yet. [/quote]

He just resigned, per the WP. Some things in the article that stand out to me:

1) He was nominated by Trump. WH officials had praised his efforts on immigration enforcement and other Trump admin policies.

2) He had the support of the Youngkin administration, as well as of the two VA senators.

3) The judges of the US district court unanimously voted to extended his initial four-month period indefinitely.

4) The plan to remove him was instigated by Pulte, who has targeted others including Sen. Adam Schiff and Federal Reserve governor Lisa Cook.

Some time after midnight, after Siebert resigned, Trump posted the following:

Today I withdrew the Nomination of Erik Siebert as U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, [b]when I was informed that he received the UNUSUALLY STRONG support of the two absolutely terrible, sleazebag Democrat Senators, from the Great State of Virginia[/b]. He didn’t quit, I fired him! Next time let him go in as a Democrat, not a Republican. Thank you for your attention to this matter. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! President DJT

This unprincipled, mendacious POS is now claiming that he fired Siebert when he "suddenly" found out--FIVE MONTHS LATER--that Siebert was nominated by the two VA senators, who happen to be Dems. He NEVER takes responsibility for anything. He ALWAYS blames it on someone else.

Siebert is a Republican. He received Republican support for his nomination. His nomination was advanced by Senate Republicans, including Chairman Chuck Grassley of the Judiciary Committee, who pushed for its confirmation despite Democratic blocks. Additionally, key Republicans on Capitol Hill and Trump administration officials advocated to retain Siebert amid White House pressure for his removal. ABC reported he had the support of the Youngkin administration. And, as stated above, he was nominated by Trump and WH officials had praised his efforts on immigration enforcement and other Trump admin policies. He was liked by both sides.
