Prosecutor who led ‘grand conspiracy’ probe of Trump targets resigns without charging anyone

Joe diGenova, the 81-year-old Trump loyalist who had headed a sprawling investigation in the Southern District of Florida that targeted President Donald Trump’s perceived political enemies, has resigned from the Justice Department.

“It was an honor and a privilege to serve the president and the department,” diGenova said Thursday.

Asked why he is leaving, diGenova declined to comment.

“I’m moving on,” he said.

ABC News first reported diGenova’s departure.

While diGenova resigned from the Justice Department and was not fired, a source familiar with the determination told NBC News that Justice Department officials had already lost confidence in his leadership skills and his ability to run the investigation.

Justice Department leadership felt the investigation was not moving quickly enough, even though diGenova was provided with a team of Justice Department lawyers from Washington, according to the source familiar with the determination, who said the hope is the probe can get back on track with those attorneys at the helm.

“a source familiar with the determination”

Sources say. Go figure.

Never hear that used with “determination.”

Government thieves. The bigger you are, the more you get away with. Like they say, it's a big club, and we ain't in it.

You know the DOJ tradition, not starting a prosecution after Labor Day in election year, so the clock struck. DOJ said no, so same old stuff.

“Beep, Beep!” say the ‘Rat Roadrunners.

The Acme Systems procurement part of that wily DOJ needs to source weapons from better suppliers.

I’m shocked to hear this. He was working on the conspiracy case in Fla. That is what the administration was pinning all hopes on to get the Deep State. I hope this wasn’t a Deep State firing to sabatoge the case.

He was getting no cooperation from the DOJ regarding his requests for certain files and documents, this is fact. As well, I surmise that Bruno from the deep state told him he is wasting his time trying to garner any evidence that would be in Trump’s favor.

81 years old? Doesn’t sound like the kind of guy who will lead the charge on anything substantial.

Where did you hear that he was not getting cooperation from the DOJ? Dies that include Todd Blanche?

That’s an assumption and not a fact.

It’s an assumption based on human limits, right?

No, it’s an presumptive opinion. Look at Trump. He is 80 and can outwork me and I’m a lot younger.

He also thinks telling the same joke for the tenth time is still funny.

“”””You know the DOJ tradition, not starting a prosecution after Labor Day in election year, so the clock struck.””

I think that only applies to candidates.

Trump’s level of energy at 80 is extremely rare
