The Thursday Afternoon Massacre Not all heroes wear capes

My latest on Sidebars: the attorneys who have resigned rather than dismiss the case against Mayor Adams are acting in the finest tradition of the Department of Justice. My hat's off to them.

Dismissal of Eric Adams Case Represents Departure for DOJ The U-turn has sent shock waves through the U.S. attorney’s office in Manhattan, known for its independence from the Justice Department.

As I told the Wall Street Journal, by dropping corruption charges against NYC Mayor Eric Adams, DOJ sends the message that public officials who support Trump’s agenda will get out of jail free.

Federal prosecutors in New York and Washington resign after refusing to drop Adams charges At least six prosecutors, including the acting U.S. attorney in Manhattan, have stepped down over the DOJ order to dismiss corruption charges against New York Mayor Eric Adams.

Proud of prosecutors in SDNY and Washington who resigned rather than carry out DAG Emil Bove’s order to dismiss indictment against NYC Mayor Eric Adams.
Integrity > politics and careerism.

Trump Official’s Demand in Adams Case Forces Justice Dept. Showdown A crisis at the department over the Eric Adams case is an early test of the criminal justice system’s resilience against a retribution-minded president and his appointees.

Very proud of the 8 DOJ attorneys who have refused to dismiss the Adams case. Their oath is to the Constitution, not the president.

DOJ leadership has put all Public Integrity Section lawyers into a room with 1 hour to decide who will dismiss Adams indictment or else all will be fired. Sending them strength to stand by their oath, which is to support the Constitution, not the president’s political agenda. 🇺🇸
