Danielle R. Sassoon, the acting U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York, announced her resignation in a statement that does not refer to the DOJ directive.
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.
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.
It was not immediately clear who would take over the office, which is sometimes referred to as the “Sovereign District of New York” for its independent streak.
Oh, certain she’ll be missed…
Now, about a replacement!
“The move appears to be a rebuke to the Justice Department”
How so?
They were all told to resign. Clever headline.
That’ll show us! But hey, if you disagree with something, by all means, move on.
Congratulations and best of luck
Apparently she didn’t get the memo................YOU’RE FIRED!
Bye.
Prosecutor on the situation:
Oh no, not that!
Maybe she’ll also sterilize herself in protest like the other weirdos.
I’ll pay.
I'm not happy seeing Federalis Society members resign.
Oh, poor baby!
Nesting dolls....
I’ve always thought those were nice.
A woman I knew went on vacation to Russia in the 1980s and brought back nesting dolls for her daughter.
Some say they originated in 1890-1892, created by a Russian woodcarver for his daughter.
She did not resign, she was fired. This is just a PR stunt
“The move appears to be a rebuke to the Justice Department.”
A rebuke, that’s funny. She really showed them didn’t she?
Does she not understand the President and AG can direct her to start or stop ANY investigation? Does she think she is independent and beyond supervision?
Silliness.
Everyone in the government other than the President has a boss.
It looks like they forgot to teach that at the Yale Law School and the Federalist Society!
New York, Harvard/Yale libtard. LOL
Politics remains the art of the possible.
Why? The Federalist society has given us that abysmal failures like Wray, Amy Conehead Barret, Gorsuch, Kavenaugh, and most of the legal “thinking” in the Bush administration.
Under Sassoon’s watch the SDNY has been thoroughly corrupted. She didn’t worry when James O’Keefe had his home raided by goon squad FBI dressed like soldiers. She had no problem with DOJ during it’s depredations on the Trump family and J6ers.
Screw this uppity biznatch. “Federalist” my eye.
