Ms. Sassoon placed principal and personal integrity above the force to error to please the powerful. I have no doubt that history will remember her as a courageous soldier in a righteous cause. As a Federal Prosecutor, this may be the highest honor possible.
How far does not being able to hold trump legally accountable for bribery? Court said can’t be held responsible for acts having to do with governance. This is not one of them. This has nothing to do with his ability to be president or run the executive branch.
How nice. But no one in the world right now can count on the United States at all. We will become dangerously isolated and hated. We better do something about this.
John Keller, the acting chief of the Justice Department's Public Integrity Section, and Kevin Driscoll, the acting head of the DOJ's criminal division, also swiftly resigned.
I'm torn. I want heroes like Danielle Sassoon to stay and fight the evil that is taking over the government. But I also want her to take a stand, just as she did yesterday, to tell the world what she will and won't do. Who's got the right answer to this dilemma?
She's not a hero. She is a Leo Lenard vetted, trump appointment. She would have signed the dismissal if it had been less obviously quid pro quo. But at least she saw it for the career ending document it would be and chose to go into the private sector.
Imagine watching January 6th thugs getting pardoned, after serving 2.5 years for posting Anti-Fascist rhetoric online. Now imagine losing your vote, your income and, potentially your home, because employers won’t hire you.

The law is the law.
No one person is above it.
John Keller, the acting chief of the Justice Department's Public Integrity Section, and Kevin Driscoll, the acting head of the DOJ's criminal division, also swiftly resigned.
Get him out of there.
Only seven of them? Where are others? Where is the GOP?
They stepped up during Nixon. Now they’re too selfish, empty… void of courage. Rudderless clowns. Gutless or corrupt.

She did one thing right. She's still a Scalia clerk at heart.
