Acting US Attorney for the SDNY Danielle Sassoon abruptly resigned on Thursday, just a few days after she was ordered to drop charges against NYC Mayor Eric Adams.
....Snip....
NBC News reported:
Danielle R. Sassoon, the acting U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York who was ordered to drop the corruption charges against New York City mayor Eric Adams, has resigned, a senior official said Thursday.
The move appears to be a rebuke to the Justice Department. It comes three days after Emil Bove, the acting U.S. deputy attorney general, issued a memo ordering federal prosecutors in New York to drop the case against Adams in part because it hampered his ability to tackle “illegal immigration and violent crime.”
Sassoon announced her resignation in a brief statement to colleagues that does not refer to the directive from the Justice Department, the senior official said

Winning
PLEASE LETICIA JAMES AND ALVIN BRAGG NEXT
NBC BS .
The Lie Machine never stops .
That lefty was fired by Bondi.
Bondi fired staff at all the offices nationwide .
It’s not a rebuke to DOJ. The mayor criticized the OBiden machine and they reached out to ruin him.
I’ll be charitable - at least she resigned rather than stay behind, collect a paycheck and secretly sabotage Trump/Bondi
She was fired. It was not a voluntary resignation. She was directed to stop the Eric Adams care that was launched when he spoke out against the Biden/Kamala open border.
She refused and responded with and assaholic lecture that there was no basis to drop charges, her prosecutors agreed with her, and that if Trump wants to end the case, he can pardon him. She took no action to end the case, as ordered.
She was notified that “Your resignation is accepted”, referring to her insubordination and refusal to follow orders from the President, relayed by the Deputy AG.

Here’s the letter firing her. It was NOT a resignation.
She was fired.

Danielle R. Sassoon Appreciation Thread - Democratic …
Look who loves her.
Not this same old act again? Every president fires all the US Attorneys from any prior administration. Like clockwork, the selective editorial opportunists make crap up. If you are a US Attorney Trump appoints, you accept the position knowing that a new administration will replace you. It’s nothing personal or part of some grand conspiracy.
Thanks for posting that. Yep, she’s admired by the left.
The DoJ's SDNY is a corrupt pile of ______ that repeatedly looked the other way, re Jeffrey Epstein.
So many people are awaiting the client list, but the real problem/story, is, the corrupt:
. . . who looked the other way - REPEATEDLY - as young children were human-trafficked to sexual destruction.
She was only temporarily assigned to that post to begin with. She proved that she wasn’t the person to hold that position permanently, and left on her own.
“That lefty was fired by Bondi”
Danielle Sasoon was no “lefty”.
Sassoon, who took over the office last month, was a well-respected prosecutor with unimpeachable conservative credentials. Best known for successfully prosecuting crypto whiz kid-turned-fraudster Sam Bankman Fried, she was a member of the Federalist Society and had clerked for the late Justice Antonin Scalia, who was long the Supreme Court’s most influential conservative.
I think that she believes the DOJ decision to not prosecute NYC Mayor Adams was a political decision, a political reward to Adams. I think she is far from alone in that belief. If Trump had nothing to do the the Adams decision, he would do well to speak to DOJ and get Danielle Sasoon back.
That’s right, hundreds of thousands of defenseless children trafficked and literally no person in the Democrat party and very few in the Republican Party came to their defense.
Demonic.
Pam Bondi should shitcan ALL US attorneys left from the FJB years
HAHAHAHAHA and prosecution of mayor Dams was not political?
Not sure why Trump would let Adams off the hook - he’s a POS, and the charges looked legit.
Adams is FOS and doesn’t want illegals gone - he wants the graft money, a la Catholic Charities and Red Cross. His words re: getting rid of *violent criminals* are always parsed.
That’s why ALL these municipalities liked illegals. Money and graft.
