Too bad her fellow Republicans don’t follow her high level of integrity.

And none of this explains why Abbott isn't bouncing up and down in his wheelchair. New York hasn't been the whining, crying, racist-ranting hotbed of hate. trump could send his cult deportation-porn from any state, and they'd quiver with gleeful superiority vibes.

"That the resignation should be by someone with sterling Federalist Society credentials only highlights the difference between the Trump administration and serious conservatives with integrity and respect for the criminal process"

Hopefully once some start standing up, many more will follow across the country. Like Dominoes.

Justice in the USA is in its death throes.

In V2.0 of the Trumpian Era, disinformation, grievance & authoritarianism have replaced truth, justice & democracy in the USA.

How long before the Orange Man labels this conservative Republican woman as nasty and low IQ?

cjmcg1966.bsky.social•29 days ago

It's a flagrant quid-pro-quo, and I would imagine against the law. Good for them saying no, bummed they have to resign, as their replacements are likely to be far less morally bound.

stop fucking resigning. Make them fire you. It's not going to impact your career.

The list of impeachable offenses must drive Democrats to the polls in 2026.

Hochul can end this NOW https://www.governor.ny.gov/content/governor-contact-form

And local DAs can step up and enforce NY State laws!

Resigning is a very “normative” response in the face of all this, but these aren’t normal times. I wish they could safely stay and resist.

She wears a face of integrity & courage. MANY, okay, ALL Senate Republicans could learn a thing or two from these brave Prosecutors.

We will have "massacres" for every day of the week.

This resigning crap. Make them fire you! 🔥 Then leave and file two law suits. Civil and criminal.

Judge Dale E. Ho who is presiding over the Adams case is going to have some questions for whatever prosecutor appears in front of him next.

nonayerbiznatch.bsky.social•29 days ago

Good. She is a justice beast!

badlands78.bsky.social•29 days ago

Following in the honorable tradition of Elliot Richardson and William Ruckeslhaus. Two republican that had principles. Unlike the feckless, craven lickspittle GQP congress.

She knows and can’t be bought!

And less than 30 days in. I shudder to think of what the next three weeks will be like.

It only took Hitler 53 days to take over the German government. He will break that record!

Such a smart woman. Now the governor can take action to remove him 💙💙💙

didabrown.bsky.social•29 days ago

I don't get the point of resigning. You're just making it easier for them.

hummingbird2482.bsky.social•29 days ago

The point is that she was able to put on record everything that happened through her resignation letter. She is essentially testifying before the court. After her and 5 other resignations with the case being passed along forces the judge ti investigate.
