At least six federal prosecutors have resigned after Trump’s DOJ dropped charges against New York City Mayor Eric Adams.

It was reported earlier that Acting US Attorney for the SDNY Danielle Sassoon abruptly resigned just a few days after she was ordered to drop charges against NYC Mayor Eric Adams.

“Kevin Driscoll, the acting head of the department’s Criminal Division, which oversees federal criminal cases nationwide, also refused to drop the charges and resigned,” NBC News reported.

According to NBC News, at least 6 prosecutors resigned in protest on Thursday.

..... Snip.....

On Thursday President Trump told reporters that he didn’t know about the DOJ’s decision to drop the charges against Eric Adams.

They resigned.

More info here (one hour ago):

https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cm274m25e4ro

...Danielle Sassoon, a conservative lawyer recently promoted by President Donald Trump, said dismissing the case would set a “breathtaking and dangerous precedent”...

...Sassoon refused to drop the case, however, setting out her reasoning in a letter to Bove’s boss, Attorney General Pam Bondi, on Thursday and saying she saw no “good faith” reason for dropping the case.

“Because the law does not support a dismissal, and because I am confident that Adams has committed the crimes with which he is charged, I cannot agree to seek a dismissal driven by improper considerations,” she wrote...

Seems to me that they’re very upset that they can no longer use their government positions to JAIL their political opponents (and anyone else they may happen to hate).

I don’t remember Danielle Sassoon piping up when her pals in New York in the judiciary, “Fat Alvin” Bragg and Tish James were busy railroading President Trump.

Tunnel vision is an ugly thing in people like Sassoon who can do real damage.

And he didn’t have to go to court or offer a buyout. Maybe they should drop a few more charges…cost benefit analysis is required here

It seems to me that they resigned so they wouldn’t have to drop the case.

Trump is going to name his own prosecutor o head the NY office as he will be replacing the other 92 Dem fed prosecutors nationally hejust fired.They all will be cleaning house. These six no doubt were aware they were headed out the door as soon as the new replacement was in place and committed resignation suicide..
