Tell them why Jamie.

The problem with all these resignations is that we will have no principled people with integrity in our institutions.

We're on such a slippery slope down to tyranny...and there's nothing stopping us. https://youtu.be/b_mDTOKvyV8?si=SKdGXIKvMSIgfZop

To be replaced by an incompetent YES man or woman, but likely a white man.

It is very misleading to say that the head of the criminal division quit. Her resignation was demanded because she refused to do something which violated her ethical obligations to her job. That is not the same as quitting.

This will continue until there is a shadow of the AUSAs left at DOJ.

Musk is rushing to save his stock! DUMP THE STOCK MOVEMENT!!
Are people in India ok being sellouts and letting an Oligarchy Billionaire run their country? Could be asked by Modi to make cuts in your country next! Say bye to your jobs!

Stop quitting….make them drag you out. Show the line they are crossing

Clearly some in the DOJ fear a weaponization

Who is going to uphold the law for America?🇺🇸🗽

stop quitting fight back if they are going to fire you then there is nothing you can do , but don't quit never give up

vermontwedding.bsky.social•4 days ago

I wish they would stay and fight

pgriff6.bsky.social•4 days ago

They need to stop quitting! It’s miserable I know. If you Google my name, you know I know, but you have to stick it out and fight the good fight even if you lose the battle.

imbedini.bsky.social•4 days ago

Are you certain she quit?

"Cheung sent a farewell message office-wide on Tuesday morning. She didn’t indicate her reason for leaving."

If I were going to quit from a position in protest, I would make it news.

crazyfingerz.bsky.social•4 days ago

Stop quitting!

imbedini.bsky.social•4 days ago

Are you sure she chose to quit?

"Cheung sent a farewell message office-wide on Tuesday morning. She didn’t indicate her reason for leaving."

Shit, I accidently clicked on a CNN article. They will never get my viewership after normalizing this last election and daring to talk about Biden's age daily when he was nothing but effective.

peterrb1961.bsky.social•4 days ago

People on the inside are starting to realize staying doesn't stem the slide into corruption but merely serves to mask it from public notice.

Anyone honest gets locked out or sidelined.

imbedini.bsky.social•4 days ago

Yep

lynnhayes.bsky.social•4 days ago

It's great that all of these people have principles, but if they all quit there will be nobody left but the inmates to run the asylum.

finn426.bsky.social•4 days ago

I’m encouraged by those taking a stand but also if all the staff with any integrity quits, won’t the administration just appoint sycophants in their place?

decleyrity.bsky.social•4 days ago

The entire system will implode which whole awful will be a faster awful than limping along

lseuss.bsky.social•4 days ago

Based on a Project Veritas video?? 🤦‍♀️

erinpsyd.bsky.social•4 days ago

Sigh. Another decent good oath following AUSA gone.

mike49.bsky.social•4 days ago

It’s called “constructive dismissal”. Somewhere in Mar A Lago is much merriment, back slapping and drinks all around.

fourstarr.bsky.social•4 days ago

Resigning is the principled move and a devastating one in an otherwise healthy system. Our system is not healthy, therefore the resignations just make it easier for the authoritarians to install their minions.

bterrier71.bsky.social•4 days ago

I applaud people taking a principled stand, but this only helps Trump. He’d prefer the DOJ be dismantled entirely

eliza-p.bsky.social•4 days ago

For DOJ, if they don’t have lawyers able and willing to sign their names to court filings and make appearances in court, it will actually impede Trump’s agenda by a fair bit- in this environment we want a dysfunctional DOJ

naniej1998.bsky.social•4 days ago

The choice is corruption or resignation. There is no other way.

imbedini.bsky.social•4 days ago

Are we sure it was her choice?

"The sudden departure of Justice Department veteran Denise Cheung comes a day after President Donald Trump announced his nominee to lead the prosecutor’s office, Ed Martin, who has supported unwinding all January 6 criminal cases that the office brought."

That’s encouraging. RICO rules!

jwbfat16.bsky.social•4 days ago

I wonder just how much they will enjoy a Unitary Executive when a Democrat next resides in the WH.
For me the bell weather is DJT's appeal to SC(R)OTUS of the Hampton Dellinger dismissal case.
If Roberts & co takes it up and the whole concept of whistleblower protection evaporates that's game over.

fourstarr.bsky.social•4 days ago

Forgive the tortured English on my last reply. Should say they don’t believe there will be anymore Democrats at all.

fourstarr.bsky.social•4 days ago

I suspect those who are driving this do not believe there will ever be another Democrat in the White House and ultimately that there will be no more Democrats.

jwbfat16.bsky.social•4 days ago

Project 2025 folks do not care, at all, about DJT's image or legacy or even retaining control of the House and Senate after 2026.
They only care about dismantling what supports the demographic shift away from themselves.
It is far easier to break something than it is to build something new.

hoost1.bsky.social•4 days ago

They need to stay and sandbag everything. Don’t quit.

blufit.bsky.social•3 days ago

If you’re a professional who is good at what they do and follow the guardrails of the law and constitution why would anyone want to be associated with these baboons?
