If Republican senators had half the balls that SDNY prosecutors have, trump would have been convicted during either impeachment trial and we wouldn’t have to deal with his vile, disgusting bullshit like we do now.
Hagan Scotten, former military, isn't about to kiss the ring. Danielle Sassoon, a woman who will not compromise her honor for the sake of the Republican ethos, should be extremely respected for their decisions.
They should, but i wonder how much damage will have been done by then? Trading relationships with Mexico, Canada, and the European Union might be completely damaged.
This man will be able to tell his children he has integrity. It’s wonderful to see people like this still exist. I hope this country is able to endure this gangster
Please follow the law. Do not dismiss the case.
Trump would say/do anything or use anyone to continue the narrative of "MASS" deportation when it's really "MASS THEFT of government funds! Bribery of
Governors/Mayors allowing him to make fake films of families in handcuffs.
Gosh, I wonder if any of the Dems in Congress are paying attention? Maybe these examples of integrity principles and courage might inspire them to get in the fight. Probably not though.
There’s plenty of Dems in the tight! Court cases are being filed almost daily! Protests in the street! No doubt there’s more than just Democrats that are paying attention!
They need to stop resigning.
Trump is refusing court orders.
Refuse his administration's cynical, unethical or blatantly illegal orders. Stand your ground. Stay in post. Or he will have won.
The purging of public servants includes making them quit and replacing them with sycophants. Don't do it.
Retirement & other benefits may only be available w/ resignation, but not if one is fired. The current DOJ leadership has made clear they want unquestioned obedience, so they will fire these AUSA's & hire sycophants. It's best to control how you leave: dignified resignation vs. undignified firing.
Standing aside and letting a coup happen because you’re worried about your pension is like not putting out the fire in your house in case you get your book collection wet.
If they’re successful, there won’t be a pension anyway.
They finally did but his reasoning was to keep people in their jobs. He hated seeing the pressure put forth and nearing retirement he just went and filed so no one else would have to do it.
One of the lawyers who ultimately signed the filing was Edward Sullivan, a senior litigation counsel with the section. Sullivan decided to sign it to protect his colleagues, a person familiar with the matter said. Bove and Bacon also signed it.
This person gets my vote for what ever office he decides to run for!!! This letter should be sent to every cowardly Republican rep who continuously fail to stand up for the good of American citizens.
Wow, a president, entire cabinet as well as henchman committing criminal acts, expecting others to engage in criminal acts while expecting everyone else to follow the law make it make sense
And you better believe they expect resistance if they didn’t they wouldn’t be spending 400 million on armored Teslas. They’re just spending all that for fun? They plan on attacking their own citizens.
to be accurate, the $400M reference was never actually funded- and it was some stupidity from the Biden admin.
After Nazi Musk engaged in fascist rhetoric post Twitter acquisition, the US govt should have been eliminating anything Musk from ANY FORM of US funding.
Exactly it is a major conflict of interest somebody that has that much vested through contracting from taxpayer dollars should not have any ties to our government and decisions that are made. Why did this go unchecked months before he was even elected ?
Yeah I really wish I wasn’t saying this . Just my own observations and based on their current track record of lows. Never anything high just low after low .
They first tested out their new tactics during the BLM protests: Firing rubber bullets at unarmed, peaceful protesters; cops caught slashing the tires of protesters' cars and damaging buildings; non-uniformed DHS officials in unmarked black vans kidnapping people off the street...
They may have watered it down but it’ll find its way back. Not sure why Elon Musk is so deeply embedded in our government and these type of decisions anyway, this is scary. He needs to go back to playing with his rockets.
Oh no, it’s OK. I didn’t even know it. I just happened to search the information that came up. Yep and soft target for him was USA ID which helped to end the apart died. If only the public knew that was his reason for targeting them specifically first.
Please excuse my ignorance on the issue, but how does all of these Attorneys resigning help fix the issue?
Yes they will not execute the orders, but won't THEY just get some complicit person to take the place of the resignee?
Again, IANAL. Please ELI5
They stood up to Trump's DOJ because they have integrity and to them justice matters. They were being asked to do something unlawful for which theycould be disbarred.
Karen Friedman Agnifilo: "You take an oath as a prosecutor and you swear to uphold the constitition, not to follow what Donald Trump's wishes are, if it's against the constitution."
Oops! I guess I skimmed too quickly. Attorney Hagan Scotten is the hero with a brave heart, Brian Cohen is the helpful poster of Scotten's fearless letter.
What sucks the most is they want these resignations. It's a feature, not a bug. They want all the decent, law abiding civil servants to out themselves and be replaced with MAGA cult members. Tradition be damned, I'd make them fire me, and sue them, and make things at difficult on them as possible!
The Courts won’t save us. The SCOTUS right-wing gave Dementia Don immunity for anything he does. And the power of pardons will exempt anyone for any illegality they commit on his behalf.
That's in every department treasonous tRump is dismantling. Just like he did with the NSC pandemic unit before covid! His destruction will be devastating nationwide!
I disagree. Some of these people are hardcore Republicans (Sassoon clerked for Scalia). Even if the case ultimately gets dismissed (not a given), but @lawandchaospod.bsky.social pointed out that Nixon doing the same thing massively tipped public opinion, leading to his ultimate resignation.
Problem is Trump is a malignant narcissist and will never step down which means we have to rely on Congress to vote him out which again will never happen as they are all getting tich for sucking Trumps shriveled little dick

Just remember, Trump could have just given Adams a preemptive pardon; but he didn’t do that. Instead he ordered DOJ to dismiss WITHOUT prejudice, so that Trump will always have leverage over Adams to do his bidding. Adams is a compromised NYC mayor & NYS governor should remove him, to protect NYC.
We can ask Democrat Senators & Reps to give us a Daily Press Briefing from Pete Buttigieg! We NEED a consistent voice who both tells us what is happening and shreds the other side, a person who “the middle people” might tune into and believe. CALL your Ds and ask them to make this happen! And SHARE!
Wow, who knew a lawyer could be so .. i dunno.. morally, substantially, powerfully RIGHT and thank Gosh he's done so publicly. Will it help? I dunno but is it RIGHT? Absolutely. Let every one of us do the RIGHT things. When "they" bring pressure to bear.. say NO and resist consequences.
BONDI NEEDS TO RESIGN!!!
She is legally bound to pursue corruption and abuse of power within her organization. Sassoon handed her an indictment, and instead of meeting with her she does nothing. Doing nothing is a corrupt act.
Of course she won’t but it still needs to be said. Pressure, even rhetorical, is critical for the Fed workers, judges, legislators who are standing up.
Thank God! If there were more people who still Loved our Country like them, I would cry
with joy! I am positive about one thing, when people start feeling the pain and get sick of this in your face crime, there will finally be an uprising. There will be. People can only take so much.
Because their incompetence and the damage it will cause will, eventually, turn the entire country against them and drag everyone around them down with them.
This is what it means not to cooperate. And they are making it abundantly clear that anyone who does is a traitor to the constitution and the rule of law. At least they are naming what it is.
Hey Brian can we encourage safe protests for the fearful? We can utilize public meetings. We can visit the local offices of our legislators in our states. We can attend public committee hearings that key legislators are on. We can flood these spaces in mass. This is a safe way #safeprotests
Hope the next decent US government is noting the names of those standing up to Trump ...... and those who aren't.
The day will come when things have to be put right and they'll need good people, not nodding dogs.
Thank you. I would not, with any sense of certainty, assume that Musk knows about the doges of Venice and how they ruled, but it would also fit the approach.
I wish people like this wouldn’t resign. We need them to occupy their positions and continue to do their jobs properly until they’re forcibly dragged out of the building. The replacement will be an unqualified partisan hack and we’ll we worse for it.
Shouldn’t this be a larger media story? You have a stack of career public servants saying they will not SUBVERT JUSTICE because the WHITE HOUSE is ordering them to help a friend of the President.
Not recommended lol... they segued into Kevin Nealon promoting an SNL nostalgia piece.
Like... "The ruling party is facing massive and unprecedented defection among its own ranks for corrupt abuse of power from the highest office... and now, remember the Church Lady?... that was awesome!"
Question bc Google is being unclear. Can the judge refuse to dismiss the case? Bc they have to file the motion AND the judge has to agree…. Right? So what happens then?
Well are we concerned they are transferring the money and going to detonate while they fly to Russia? Bc guess what, they have no plan and the only reason you have no plan is....

trump had his ass owned

Have faith in the system, it's working for now.

Alina Habba is an idiot. But Emil Bove is a Trump tool that sold his soul to the devil.

I still don't like to see so many good people go.
Every new departure is one less barrier to authoritarianism.
If they’re successful, there won’t be a pension anyway.
A. That’s sum bullshit
B. That’s wack
C.
Well done and so glad there are people who care about justice over subservience.
The mayor of New York can't be hostage to a man who wants revenge against the city.

What a ringing indictment of the Trump DoJ sleaze.
My compliments and my respect to Hagan Scotten, one helluva lawyer.

He is embedded because he is pro apartheid and Strump is a low-T weak man-baby who wants to play with the big boys.
Proud of the guy!!!

Apologies and hats off to both!
And one stood up.

This is what he hired her for
