Acting AG Emil Bove tried to reassign Mayor Adams’ case to the public integrity unit at Main Justice in DC. Upon learning of this, senior DOJ officials resigned. The heroes are here.

let's be clear, these are #maga people who were betrayed by #maga. the first batch of people are pissed that they can't take the #blackman to task. the second batch want to use that #blackman and then take him to task.
Instead of resigning, what would it look like for them to have stayed and impeded the trampling of our constitution? I know it's a lot to ask, but we're running out of options.
Per Danielle Sassoon's letter, Bove tried to work a grubby quid-pro-quo with Adams and instructed his staff (who were in the room) to destroy their notes.
I would be sorry to see mass resignations at DOJ but many will not be able to swallow the incompetent suck up Emil Bove revenge tour especially after the J6 pardons
It's time for New York City to impeach the Mayor or for the Governor to remove him. The sooner, the better. Media should push this. RESISTANCE IS NOT FUTILE.
I’m so loving the push back! THIS is what integrity looks like! THIS is what bravery looks like! These are true Americans who know the rule of law means nothing without people to stand up for it ♥️
Let's hope you're right. Unfortunately, we have to wait and see if years down the road we can retake the government back from authoritarians who are clearly playing the long game and know how to manipulate the electorate with the help of oligarchical control of digital and print media
This DOJ head is trying to get a career DOJ official( not political) to take the heat over this illegal Case drop over the Political Administration. And no one right now is taking it.
How many is that who have resigned? That will mean the criminals will be running the show completely!!! Someone has flushed the toilet and we are circling the drain!!!
As an attorney, i am mortified.
It just goes to show that the felon, Biondi, and Bove are such cowards with no integrity to enforce the law and are more interested in what Adams can do for them in NYC than the rule of law. We have another 4 years of this unlawful bullshit.
I am not sure I understand the pros/cons of resigning. Do we want people with integrity to stay? Is it a great we r statement to the justice community to resign rather than accept a shady assignment. I wish you could talk on that more. TY!!
Call DOJ and demand they stop acting corruptly and unethically. 1-202-514-2000. You can also file an ethics complaint with the state bar where Bondi and Emil Bove are barred in for the blatant corruption. Bondi is probably barred in Florida and I have no clue where Bove is barred.
Hochel said it wouldn’t be democratic for her to remove Adams
But he’s underwater in approval, dealmaking against the interests of the city and now his very presence is cutting the justice department of the people who would resist illegal orders
When ever is a time to remove the mayor if not now?
Lucky for us, it was a clumsy, obtuse move by Bove that's created T**** 2.0's first, but probably not its last, criminal scandle. What we've got here is quid pro quo meets Saturday Night Massacre meets The Gang That Couldn't Shoot Straight. That didn't even take a month!
Danielle Sassoon is STANDING IN THE LAW, SHE HAS THE COURAGE OF THE LAW... Bove is out on a limb of "I hereby declare what the law is" Trump horseshit, saw it off, let him drop... draw the line with them here, Danielle Sassoon is shining a light on where the line is. Every Dem everywhere here it is
Every Dem AG, Governor, Congress member who is a lawyer. stand with Danielle Sassoon today... this is your line in the in the law... stand with her IN THE LAW...
The bad are still subject to ethics guidelines; recall that many of trumps attorneys have been disbarred.
Most federal judges have little to no patience for bad faith lawyering, and they rule accordingly. Lawyers, incl government attorneys, abuse the process at their own personal peril.
My concern is - it is a big statement, and people will notice, but then? Others will take over and they will simply do Trumps bidding? What is your view? Do you think if enough people will resign, we can stop this?
While I appreciate the courage and standing up for principles, this unfortunately makes it easier to find the compliant people at DOJ and replace the rest without firing them
I feel this, and I certainly don't know what the most effective action is. But mass resignations sends a clear signal that others can follow—especially to the rest of the judicial system that is forming most of the resistance right now—to keep fighting.
I am not a lawyer so this question may be unusual: given the Bove sent the letter to SDNY using questionable language, it’s clear that he’ll do anything to keep trump happy. Is there anything that can be done to revoke his law license?
Complying in advance is what that is . I’m sorry but no. Real heroes would stay and fk their shit up which is integrity. They’re just making it easier for the assholes to fill their slots with Nazis
Unfortunately, their decision to resign does NOT make DOJ a more Honorable or Lawful organization. They probably should have refused and made bove/bondi fire them, and then they could file suit for Wrongful Dismissal against them personally and claim damages and reimbursement for pain and suffering!
Heroes? - maybe - but they just did exactly what he wanted them to do - quit.
And the fewer 'heroes' we have, in important positions, the more danger we are all in.
So this is how we stand up and fight! Just walk away and give them the whole fucking department, great! I still don't understand why I didn't didn't just send sales team six to off Trump and Elon? He had total immunity right! LLIk Trump and Elon! 🎉👻☠️🤯💥💥🔫💣💣
🇨🇦💙🇺🇸💙🇲🇽🇺🇦
But they're all resigning and walking away from their post to just be replaced with Donald Trump's yes man this is bad I just hope the United States again withstand it and let's get back to you the oligarchy's that don't do public events
Bondi, in her work for *rump, is so used to always doing exactly as he tells her to do, she can’t imagine anyone who would ‘work’ for her not doing the same. It’s got to be a shocker for her in her role as ‘AG’.. to have a competent fellow attorney quit on principle vs cave to something illegal!
These people have MORE INTEGRITY in a STRAND of their HAIR than the ENTIRE REPUBLICAN SENATE who have DAMAGED THIS COUNTRY BEYOND COMPREHENSION by approving INCOMPETENT, UNQUALIFIED, IDIOTS to the highest OFFICES OF GOVERNMENT!

Bove & Bondi will simply install some goon.
The. REEK.
So they might not be all that effective at achieving his goals.
Just wait until Putin gets a hold of them.
BLOCKING
BLOCKING!!!!!!
I appreciate them standing up for the rule law. But they're leaving it to the Lawless.
We're going to need all the heroes we can get (like them) to get us through this.
It just goes to show that the felon, Biondi, and Bove are such cowards with no integrity to enforce the law and are more interested in what Adams can do for them in NYC than the rule of law. We have another 4 years of this unlawful bullshit.
More Sassoon
Less Schumer
Either way, thank you guys! 👍😊🦋🦋🦋
Crushing
and then be fired
Or is this the ~same thing as doing that?
But he’s underwater in approval, dealmaking against the interests of the city and now his very presence is cutting the justice department of the people who would resist illegal orders
When ever is a time to remove the mayor if not now?
Unfortunately, Pam Bondi is incapable of understanding integrity, principles, law, oath of office, or even the basic difference between right & wrong.

WTF is wrong with people's judgement these days? It's like common sense has abandoned many in this country.
Most federal judges have little to no patience for bad faith lawyering, and they rule accordingly. Lawyers, incl government attorneys, abuse the process at their own personal peril.
And the fewer 'heroes' we have, in important positions, the more danger we are all in.

WE ARE IN DANGER!! We need to wake up!!
