Danielle R. Sassoon, Manhattan’s acting U.S. attorney, resigned on Thursday rather than obey a Justice Department order that she drop a corruption case against New York City’s mayor, Eric Adams, that she had championed, according to three people with knowledge of the matter.
Comments
In normal times she could have gone through administrative processes to show why the case should not be dropped.
THESE ARE NOT NORMAL TIMES. There is no rule of law under the GOP! She is a hero!
If indictment poses a hinderance for Adams to carry out his duties, then NYS should replace Mayor Adams so that his cirminal trial can move forward.
And I EXPECT a supposedly educated attorney not to have a SINGLE grammatical error in such a diatribe: “…if either of these AUSAs wished to comply with my directive but WAS prohibited from doing so by you or the…” is NOT correct grammar.
/sorry
Almost as though they are attempting to cover up something🤔🤔🤔

But , if I may : what if all such "highly valuables persons" quit their jobs and are substituted by much more obedient ones ?
Isn't that something even more dangerous/dreadful to you , to be feared and avoided ?
Short term, rulers will live with "they hate us but they do what we tell them to do"
Long term, rulers grow own cadres and throw the old one out anyway
There is no rule of law, there is only Trump.
Chilling.
Is he saying that there is a proper way to weaponize the justice system?
The resignations represent the most high-profile public resistance so far to President Trump’s tightening control over the Justice Department. They were a stunning repudiation of the administration’s attempt to force the dismissal of the charges against Mr. Adams.
Aren't they on the next flight to Cancun? Wow
I almost can’t believe he commented to her about upholding the constitution while clearly doing Trumps bidding.
This letter is incredible. Please dems/press REACT ACCORDINGLY
Come on America, you can do it.
Respect.

Every month, Ukraine makes technological leaps that Russia could only dream of.
And our little idiot trumpy dump is negotiating Europe and Ukraine into the dirt.
Like always, trump can create failure and ineptitude out of thin air.
Just sayin'.
MM wants to appear a savior & have Adams beholding to him. OR
Adams has dirt on MM that would come out in the trial. 🤔 🤔
... and we get 4 bars 5G signal without one. No pain, no gain.
Good for her, bad for us.
MAKE NOISE.
Resign, send blistering letters to DoJ and copy all leading media on them, hold press conferences, go on talk shows, organize opposition teams, get funding, run for office.
That's why you dont see any "dems" other than the ones bashing other dems
💙😎💙
Hold up, what’s that… she clerked for Scalia and is member of the Federalist Society…
Nevermind.
Either you cave and acquiesce to the demands of the fascist, or you resign out of refusal - and the government puts in a loyalist who WILL follow orders.
It’s the right move in her case.
In other cases where firing would be illegally done, best to stay.
Part of the plan. They have control of the US Treasury payment system, and could steal and stop your SS checks.

Not the left.
& the bottom are MAGATS, who are entering the "find out" phase of the "fuck around" phenomenon.
They'll be horribly hurt by this, more so in Red states.
& these MAGATS are already unhinged, armed, & angry.
Trump blabbed on and on about Biden weaponizing the DOJ and now the felon is actually weaponizing the DOJ!🤔
If more Rs stood on principle, it would end immediately. They are too fucking selfish and weak.
Resigning with no blemish against her, combined with her letter to Pam Bondi, makes it impossible to spin her resignation as anything other than a principled stand against corruption.
This is why I think women leaders would be a great long term thing: they have backbones and are willing to stand up for what’s right.
especially if she has a family, but someone has to plant their feet and say no more.
Why is everyone so afraid of the decrepit old man and his immigrant handler?
ah well. bygones.
Send in the clowns
Don’t bother, they’re here.

Fuck felon Trump and his vile DOJ.
There IS A RULE OF LAW!

Other defendants in that case went to Prison. Then there is Adam's case. No Justice
Oppose everything.
“Asked by reporters Thursday whether he asked that the charges be dismissed, Trump said: "No, I didn't. I know nothing about it."”
I hear a very large bus warming up.
Thank you for your efforts.
His Cabinet is a crime perpetrated on the health and welfare of the American People with the GOP’s blessings..
If the Rs had done the right thing during second impeachment - after Jan 6 it should have been EASY - none of this would be happening. Mitch McConnell is Vishy
A person with a moral compass! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Resigning in protest against an illegal order is a better narrative for them and for the opposition
The very most important thing, democrats (politicians, leaders, party members & voters) needs to do the coming years.
Is...
Even a couple Republican politicians have recently found their decency and regrown spines
It’s hard to call them heroes, but I know they’re surely facing a ton of pressure and risk
More heroes with balls please!
Unfortunately I can’t find the other, but he stood there going through signs pointing out that the cuts being made by DoGE (pronounced dodgy imo) are harmful to American People and saying essentially that other Republicans are shirking their oaths/responsibilities
She is a hero!
YOU GO GURL WE DO NOT CAPITULATE OUR MORALS ON THE WHIMS OF A OVERGROWN cHERUBIC DUO.
