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.

So will some judge block them from resigning?

[piasa]

That is the question...seems to be some confusion as to which.

[Pocketdoor]

So these are good conservative prosecutors quiting because they know they have the goods? But Head of DoJ said drop it, because he is going to turn. Why would they quit?

Is this what’s going on?
Rule 41. Dismissal of Actions
(a) Voluntary Dismissal.
(1) By the Plaintiff.
(A) Without a Court Order. Subject to Rules 23(e) , 23.1(c) , 23.2 , and 66 and any applicable federal statute, the plaintiff may dismiss an action without a court order by filing:
(i) a notice of dismissal before the opposing party serves either an answer or a motion for summary judgment; or
(ii) a stipulation of dismissal signed by all parties who have appeared.

Pride goes before the fall. They didn’t want to follow orders.
That’s a tough titty said the kitty.

These little pr*cks didn’t say Word One while Trump was getting railroaded in the same jurisdiction.

Screw them.

If you say so. Glad to see their backs, whatever it’s similar to. Not that I’m a fan of Adams, I just like lawfare wagers even less.

It’s a great start!

No downside here!

Was Sassoon only an interim?

[batazoid]

I don’t like the way this is going. I hope President Trump knows what he is doing. This could easily turn into an impeachment proceeding against him, IMHO.

[AbolishCSEU]

Go see “The Gothamist” and the whining! Calling those who quit cowards and one of them law clerked for “that scum Scalia.” (and I quote)

They're bailing out like Japanese pilots bailing out of a Japanese Betty Bomber going down in flames after being shot up by a P-38 Lightning over the pacific.

I'm reminded of this scene from Titanic:

That is a long, weird flex, but ok. 🫤

I know, especially after Trump said on camera yesterday evening he didn’t know about Adam’s charges being dropped by his new justice department. The opposition could say he entrapped himself.

Was Sassoon only an interim?

Yes.

What were the criminal charges

[Vigilanteman]

Somebody needs to post the boo-hoo eye candy girl to celebrate.

[packrat35]

Well, bye...
