The resignation of a top official with the U.S. Attorney's Office in Washington appears to be more partisanship by a longtime DOJ apparatchik tied to Democrats and a cover-up of a major scandal.
In what has become the latest trend in #Resistance fashion, another government lawyer made a splashy exit from the Department of Justice this week. Denise Cheung, chief of the criminal division for the U.S. Attorney’s office in Washington, sent a three-page letter to her boss explaining why she would have to quit rather than follow orders to pursue an investigation into potential wrongdoing tied to the Biden administration.
In noting her 24-year career at the DOJ—she once worked as former Attorney General Eric Holder’s national security advisor—Cheung, like those before her, claimed the moral high ground as her excuse not to do her job. “I have always worked to enforce the rule of law, to vindicate the rights of victims. and to protect the security of the nation,” Cheung wrote to Ed Martin, the acting D.C. U.S. attorney and President Trump’s pick to permanently run the powerful office, on February 18. “I believe that the values the Department of Justice stands for, and the many people that work every day to fulfill them, are to be promoted and cherished.”
Recent antics by DOJ employees indicate one “value” is the ability to defy superiors with a change of the political winds. In Cheung’s case, she challenged the veracity of evidence presented as the basis for a potential investigation into a Biden-era “climate” initiative with all the markings of a political slush fund ripe for fraud and corruption.
Biden-Style Grift on His Way Out the Door
The so-called Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund first got attention when Lee Zeldin, the new Environmental Protection Agency administrator, laid out details of the jaw-dropping arrangement in a video posted last week. “Roughly twenty billion of your tax dollars were parked at an outside financial institution by the Biden EPA,” Zeldin said on February 12. “This scheme was the first of its kind in EPA history and it was purposefully designed to obligate all the money in a rush job with reduced oversight.”
Zeldin noted that the money, now understood to be “parked” at Citibank, was awarded to eight climate nonprofits who then “doled out your money to NGOs and others at their discretion with far less transparency.” He referred the matter to both the DOJ and EPA inspector general:
There is no question about the political origins of the fund; the Biden White House touted the program with great fanfare months before the 2024 election. During a campaign stop last April, Kamala Harris announced the eight chosen winners of the $20 billion climate lottery. Harris also noted the unique nature of the arrangement, boasting that “for the first time in history, we are providing tens of billions of dollars directly to community lenders to finance local climate projects. This is a novel approach, it is actually the first time we have taken this approach.” (The list of recipients is here.)...SNIP
It seems like Denise Cheung could be an accomplice to Biden regime wrongdoing.
If she is Chinese born or 1st or 2nd generation American it is certain that she has been under heavy Chinese pressure to act for China’s benefit and to send information to China to make sure her relatives in China do not get put on organ donors’ lists or some such.
Denise sounds like she was a poisonous weed in a beautiful garden.
Leaving before an audit is not ‘dissent’. Rather it’s an admission of guilt
Decline her resignation and give her a corner desk where she can open the mail but can’t touch the contents. Sit there 8 hours a day and watch her career crumble while her boss builds a case for her prosecution.
These likely criminal government employees are so patently disgusting. They all need to be investigated for possible crimes. I tire of their holier-than-thou pleading about how much hard work and commitment they have.
Julie Kelly is a national treasure.
The scope of the fraud by the left cannot be truly comprehended. Good job Al Gore. Greenhouse gases, global warming, climate change. EVs. Social Security Fraud. NGOs getting hundreds of billions of dollars to help illegal aliens crossing our borders. Other Government agencies also contributing to much of the fraud. Covid. A series of massive frauds with a common denominator - the left. And virtue signaling Denise Cheung never saw any of it? She never fought it?
“I have always worked to enforce the rule of law, to vindicate the rights of victims. and to protect the security of the nation,” Cheung wrote

Submission of resignation with all the blather she wants is acceptable. May there be 50,000 more like her.
Julie does the Lord’s work.
Congress CAN’T pass their constitutional responsibility to bureaucrats and NGO’s. They need to be called out and their asses in gear.
“…why she would have to quit rather than follow orders to pursue an investigation into potential wrongdoing tied to the Biden administration.“
Why does she fear an investigation she would head where she is presently convinced there is no wrongdoing? Odd. Very odd indeed…
Her sense of constitutional integrity wasn’t pricked by the four or five Soviet show trials put on by the government against their top political rival.
The weasels are being flooded out of their holes at Justice. This partisan Dem weasel selling herself as a courageous civil servant jumped off the arc before she was thrown from it. Hope others will follow
Exactly.
The same with those seven sanctimonious pieces of human garbage at SD New York who quit over the Eric Adams railroading.
