> Remember radical Rachael Rollins? The disgraced Biden-nominated U.S. attorney for the District of Massachusetts who was only confirmed because Vice President Kamala cast the tie-breaking vote after the Senate deadlocked?
Yes, unfortunately. She destroyed MA criminal law and it hasn’t been fixed yet as far as I know. Another reason to get the hell out of this state. It can’t come soon enough.
So here how Ms. Rollins wound up...
“In November 2022, the United States Department of Justice’s inspector general opened a wide-ranging ethics probe into Rollins’ appearance at a Democratic National Committee political fundraiser with First Lady Jill Biden, her travel, and use of her personal cellphone.[36]
The inspector general’s 161-page report alleged a broad array of misconduct by Rollins. It accused her of disclosing to a journalist nonpublic information about a possible Justice Department investigation, soliciting and accepting 30 free tickets to a Boston Celtics game and accepting thousands of dollars from a sports and entertainment agency for flights and a stay at a luxury resort. According to the report, Rollins tried to influence the outcome of the race to succeed her as Suffolk County District Attorney by “repeatedly attempt[ing] to sabotage” the campaign of the rival (Kevin Hayden) of her favored candidate (Ricardo Arroyo). The report also found that she had lied under oath to investigators.[37][38]
Another federal watchdog agency, the U.S. Office of Special Counsel, found in its own investigative report that on multiple occasions Rollins violated the Hatch Act, a law that limits political activity by government workers. In a letter to President Joe Biden, Special Counsel Henry Kerner described Rollins’ violations as among the “most egregious transgressions” of the law that the agency has ever investigated:[39] “In particular, her repeated efforts to leak non-public DOJ information for the purpose of harming a political candidate rank among the most flagrant violations of the Hatch Act that OSC has ever investigated,” the report states. “The leak was an extraordinary breach of public trust by a senior government official, which threatens to erode confidence in the integrity of federal law enforcement actions.”[39]
Rollins resigned on May 19, 2023, preventing the federal government from disciplining her.[39][40][41][42]
In February 2024, Rollins was suspended from practicing law in Massachusetts for nonpayment of registration fees.[43] She regained her law license in April.[44]
As of March 2024, Rollins works as the special projects administrator at Roxbury Community College, reportedly tasked with leading a program for formerly incarcerated people.”
