DOJ leadership has put all Public Integrity Section lawyers into a room with 1 hour to decide who will dismiss Adams indictment or else all will be fired. Sending them strength to stand by their oath, which is to support the Constitution, not the president’s political agenda. 🇺🇸

Back to a q about LaGrange staying as health minister during all this: Schulz says stability is important. Transparency, too. That's why the Premier + LaGrange asked the Auditor-General to look into this, so we get the facts. (The Premier and LaGrange did not ask the A-G to look into it).
