This is very bad. Expect many more improper probes in DC, where J6 fan Ed Martin is the interim U.S. Attorney and just got nominated for a full term.

And expect it at the FBI level, nationwide, if Kash Patel is confirmed.

Reposted from Brad Heath

The top criminal prosecutor in the U.S. attorney's office in Washington quit today, citing pressure by the Trump administration to open what she viewed as an improper criminal probe of a federal contract.

Whaaaat!? You mean they don’t seriously hate the idea of “law fare” as they said over and over again? I refuse to believe these people would operate on bad faith arguments.

I'm betting it was Rivian's contract.

Cheung’s resignation is reportedly connected to efforts to rescind climate and green energy grants.

Reuters reports that the evidence came from Bove. https://bsky.app/profile/bradheath.bsky.social/post/3lihmsdkljs24

Climate activists are passionate about what they do. I hope this is a big FAFO mistake for them.

ericcolumbus.bsky.social•4 days ago

Excellent point on why this development is troubling👇👇

Wouldn't it be better if she didn't resign? Just refused to follow the illegal order..make them fire her?
And then sue. I am sure their is someone/some organization to take it on.

Almost certainly they're starting with the electric charger contract - because that one went against Musk specifically.

manhasnoname.bsky.social•4 days ago

Would this federal contract be in competition with a certain Musk, Elon? 🤔

stellarbystarli.bsky.social•4 days ago

I bet it’s the ev charging stations.

liberalfirefighter.bsky.social•4 days ago

Money to Rivian for their new plant as well probably. Rivian has posts every day on their subreddit about people dumping their Teslas because of Leon.

What Dems have on their side is truth. Trump and GOP have been lying for years about “weaponized” DOJ. It wasn’t under democrats. But it should scare them (GOP at least), that it could be. They know that DOJ has been largely fair to them, and they’re counting on Dems continuing in that vein.

Don’t.

I'm still trying to understand why his bar association has not started the disbarment process over his dismissal of a case in which he was both prosecutor and defender.

brooklynkid53bskys.bsky.social•4 days ago

maybe it is just me, but I am so so so tired of this sort of post, OMG another break the glass guardrails going red alert moment

maybe it is just me, but I want to hear you ideas for concrete specific things I and others can do

I know pride comes before a fall but where is the fall?

It's just starting. They haven't yet put your data throught the AI filter that will decide whether you will ever work again, whether you get the benefits you've earned, whether you should be prosecuted for made-up crimes, whether they give your info to Russian hackers.

Don’t want to dilute the warning on Kash - he’s the most dangerous nominee pending by a long shot.

But a question: doesn’t Martin have to step down as interim once the nomination is formal under the Vacancies Act?

ericcolumbus.bsky.social•4 days ago

I don’t think so because he was appointed under 28 USC 546 not the vacancies act.

justinlevitt.bsky.social•4 days ago

Got it. I hadn’t realized he was a McHenry interim rather than a Trump inauguration day interim. Tx.

wheystandard.bsky.social•4 days ago

Interesting question is, if he’s not confirmed in time, is the District Court for DC going to reappoint him, given his conduct thus far. I’d imagine him filing a dismissal as USA for a defendant he was still attorney of record for in case would be considered by them.

caminosver.bsky.social•4 days ago

Wish more people could find a way of protesting while staying, I know it's difficult but they're clearing the field for sycophants to move in...

thatmanglenn.bsky.social•4 days ago

*when Kash is confirmed

Sorry. We know he’s already in

vesuvan.bsky.social•4 days ago

These legitimate well trained non-maga people must STAY in their roles so they can fight back

All this quitting out of moral outrage helps Trump by removing any impediments and opening positions for him to fill with his cultists

Make him fire you if it comes to that

jellyfrog23.bsky.social•4 days ago

If Kash Patel is confirmed, the FBI goes full secret police.

bucks-county-lib.bsky.social•4 days ago

Improper investigations, asset freezes, show trials, political imprisonments of enemies.

It's all coming, and we need to be ready for it.

Not hyperbole when Trump and his cronies have telegraphed every move for the last 4 years.

Anyone have any updates on the bar complaint against Ed Martin?

cjcam7777.bsky.social•4 days ago

Ask Kash, under oath, about the Butler shooting. He undoubtedly was involved in this con https://youtu.be/b5cqPd83jEc

sporkyreeve.bsky.social•4 days ago

I fully expect that whoever the democratic nominee in 2028 happens to be they’ll be mired in criminal investigations

Which of course will be excused by MAGA and some mainstream media as fine because democrats tried to use criminal trials to stop Trump

cynthia-vt.bsky.social•4 days ago

The more people who quit, the more the loyalists will be moved in to replace them.

bucks-county-lib.bsky.social•4 days ago

That is my thought as well; and, they may be less qualified. Less qualified may mean they can be more easily challenged in the courts, having their cases struck down more easily.

memorableusername.bsky.social•4 days ago

So far not only is this causing issue legally but technically. The skills and education required to run these machines appear to be out of reach of his loyalists.

cynthia-vt.bsky.social•4 days ago

I hope they don't ruin their functionality as they mess with them and sometimes wonder if that is actually the goal.

memorableusername.bsky.social•4 days ago

Think of the destruction as a chance to make the systemic racism and inequality disapear if they are.

cynthia-vt.bsky.social•4 days ago

Thank you for this thought.

Carter died just in time, or Trump would have him doing time
