NEW YORK (Reuters) - President Donald Trump's drive to shake up the U.S. government drove out a rising star in conservative legal circles: A career federal prosecutor who once clerked for the late Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia.

Danielle Sassoon, tapped to lead the Manhattan federal prosecutor's office on Trump's second day in office, quit on Thursday rather than go along with a Justice Department order to drop a criminal corruption case against Democratic New York Mayor Eric Adams.

The department ordered the case dropped, citing the city's approaching November mayoral election and saying that prosecuting Adams could interfere with his ability to assist with a crackdown on immigration, a top Trump priority. Trump has said he did not personally order the charges against Adams dropped.

The resignation illustrated the tensions between the traditional U.S. conservative Republican legal movement and Trump's desire to exert far more direct control of the federal government, challenging standards of prosecutorial independence that have stood for a half century.

Typical gaslighting.

[MNJohnnie]

Nope. The prosecution started after Adam’s talked back to Der Biden on illegal immigration. It was bs lawfare just like they pulled on Trump. They are rats bailing a sinking ship before they are punished.

“There are no “conservative” prosecutors. None.”

Certainly none, if you’re talking about prosecutors hired by, or favored by, the Brandon Administration.

[DesertRhino]

Lying Ho. She was fired, not resigned, and she’s not “deeply conservative”.

[RandFan]

Plenty

[FlipWilson]

Wow, this really disturbs me. I mean, when I want to know what, as a conservative, I should be upset by, I don’t know about your folks, but Reuters is my go to.

[RetiredTexasVet]

Danielle Sassoon would probably be gone soon anyway as she doesn’t take supervision well.

[DesertRhino]

And the president has an absolute right to tell her to start or drop any case he pleases. He could even do the investigation personally. Who the hell does she think she is to refuse an order from the AG or the president?

good riddance to all the volunteer departures

Saw this on patriots.win this morning. Julie Kelly X thread regarding prosecutor Damien Williams who resigned last December. Sassoon was temporarily assigned to take his place:

Does anyone want to explain why the federal prosecutor who charged Eric Adams has a campaign style webpage touting his achievements at SDNY and asking for speaking gigs? Nope not political at all.

[Sir Bangaz Cracka]

I seriously doubt there were any “conservatives” still there.

[usurper]

Lying Ho. She was fired, not resigned, and she’s not “deeply conservative”.

Yep yesterday Trump fired all of them. Now they want to claim they are resigning in protest. Looser.

Danielle Sassoon, tapped to lead the Manhattan federal prosecutor's office on Trump's second day in office, quit on Thursday rather than go along...

Misleading Reuters.

Sasoon was only an interim. Jay Clayton is waiting Senate confirmation to be the lead.

Yes, a New York born Jewish lady is deeply conservative don’t you know?
