In his suit, Donlon claims in his brief time in the #NYPD to have “uncovered systemic #corruption & #criminal conduct being perpetrated by the NYPD’s leadership.” He says that when he reported his findings to the mayor, #EricAdams “condoned the misconduct,” allowing the wrongdoing to continue.

The commissioner, Thomas G. Donlon, a fmr #FBI ofcl, was appointed in the fall of 2024 to stabilize a shaky #NYPD that had been micromanaged by Mayor #EricAdams, a fmr captain on the force. Donlon stepped down weeks into the job after federal agents searched his home for #ClassifiedDocuments in an unrelated investigation.

Ex-Commissioner Sues, Saying #EricAdams Ran #NYPD as a #Criminal Enterprise
Thomas G. Donlon, who served only weeks, said in a lawsuit that New York’s mayor & top department officials had manipulated the system for personal & political gain.

…#EmilBove also faced sharp questions about his ordering the dismissal of #EricAdams’ corruption case, which led to the resignation of a top prosecutor in New York & several other #DOJ officials. #DanielleSassoon, then-interim #USattorney for the #SDNY, cited her objections to what she called a political “#QuidProQuo” with Adams’ legal team for the mayor to enforce #Trump’s #immigration policies only if he was freed from the looming prosecution.

A lawyer who was asked to offer *independent* arguments on the #Justice Dept’s motion to dismiss #corruption charges against #NYC Mayor #EricAdams of told a judge on Friday that he should end the prosecution.
But the lawyer, #PaulClement, said the judge should not allow the Trump admin to use the threat of #criminal charges to compel Adams’ political support.

It is worth noting that #DanielleSassoon, the former head of the Manhattan prosecutor’s office, said there was indeed a #QuidProQuo offered by #EricAdams’s lawyer in a meeting she attended, & that one of her prosecutors took notes & got scolded for doing so by #EmilBove, who had the notes collected at the end of the meeting.
-
The judge then turns to #EmilBove’s order to the acting US attorney in Manhattan, #DanielleSassoon, instructing her to abandon the case. The judge asks whether Ho can consider what is in the memo, & Bove says “no.” He says that case #law suggests that Ho does not have the discretion to do so, even as he acknowledges whether a judge is entitled to inquire whether the order was made “in bad faith.”
-
#EmilBove concedes that #EricAdams can have his security clearance restored even if the case proceeds undermines a central contention in his argument for the case’s dismissal.
In his Feb 13 letter to #DanielleSassoon, the first US atty who resigned, Bove wrote that a lack of security clearance meant, “He cannot speak to federal officials regarding imminent security threats to the city.…This situation is unacceptable & directly endangers the lives of millions of New Yorkers.”
-
The letter, dated Feb 17, comes days after a slew of career prosecutors resigned over the #DOJ's decision to drop its case against NYC mayor #EricAdams so that Adams can assist #Trump on #immigration.
#DanielleSassoon, the fmr acting head of the US attorney's office in Manhattan & one of the officials who resigned, described the deal as a "#QuidProQuo" in a letter last week to AG #PamBondi.

Cheung’s departure as the top supervisor overseeing federal #criminal cases for the US attorney’s office in DC marks the latest shake-up of key federal prosecutors’ offices under the #Trump admin. At least 7 senior US public #corruption prosecutors resigned last week, including interim Manhattan US atty #DanielleSassoon & a top deputy, after #EmilBove ordered the dismissal of corruption charges against NYC Mayor #EricAdams because he agreed to support the admIn’s anti-#immigration policies.

"The confrontation between Trump’s lieutenants at the Justice Dept — led by his former personal defense lawyer #EmilBove III — and Manhattan’s interim #US attorney #DanielleSassoon & her colleagues is the clearest example yet of this administration’s efforts to bake #QuidProQuo deal making, coercive tactics, loyalty tests and other dishonorable practices into American #government & warp its long-held principle of equal #justice before the #law"

dug up this video of my avatar on earth talking about #DanielleSassoon's performance during the SBF trial, years before Ms. Sassoon defied Trump and resigned yesterday rather than corruptly drop charges against #EricAdams.

lol #EmilBove has apparently been forced to personally file the motion to dismiss charges against #EricAdams after #DanielleSassoon and 6 or 7 others of America's greatest prosecutors and anti-corruption enforcers resigned in protest.

It was #EmilBove who on Mon ordered the US atty in Manhattan, #DanielleSassoon, to move to dismiss the case. She refused &, yesterday, resigned. Several other #DOJ prosecutors also resigned rather than put their names on the motion to dismiss. Now, at the end of the week, #Bove’s own signature is on the motion.
The judge in the case, Dale Ho, will have the opportunity to question the DOJ ofcls, if he chooses to do so, about why to end the prosecution against Mayor #EricAdams.

🔥🔥🔥
the latest resignation letter in Trump’s ongoing massacre of anti-corruption prosecutors who refuse to drop charges against #EricAdams is significantly shorter than #DanielleSassoon’s letter but damn if it doesn’t get straight to the point.> "If no lawyer within earshot of the President is willing to give him that advice, then I expect you will eventually find someone who is enough of a fool, or enough of a coward, to file your motion. But it was never going to be me."
p.s. #HaganScotten clerked for both #JohnRoberts and #BrettKavanaugh, has multiple bronze stars, and was #1 in his class at #Harvard Law.
p.p.s. the body count in this massacre is currently up to at least 7.

#EricAdams would like to make sure you know he's a collaborator.
which is, you know, kind of interesting word choice, if you know the history.

"A wave of high-profile resignations is hitting the Justice Department in D.C. and New York. At least three senior members of the Public Integrity Section resigned after meeting with the acting deputy attorney general over the Eric Adams case."
Trump: "I know nothing about it... but I fired her."

@jab01701mid yeah i'm surprised that they agreed to turn over the notes, but i suspect there's a lot more to the story behind that footnote that we will learn in due time.
as someone who had the pleasure of observing #DanielleSassoon in action live and and in person during the #SBF / #FTX trial i can attest to the fact that she is an *incredibly* effective communicator. read any of the press about the trial and you will see everyone who watched it observed this to be true. "holy shit that DA Sassoon is fucking crushing this" was like 70% of all discussion during breaks in the trial over in the journalists' section.

tfw u propose a criminal conspiracy to the lead prosecutor at one of america's most pre-eminent law enforcement agencies (#SDNY) and then attempt to seize the evidence literally from the hands of that same prosecutor so you can burn it later and then she (the prosecutor) puts that information in a footnote that she releases to the public

In a letter to AG #PamBondi on Wed, #DanielleSassoon said that prosecutors in her office had been prepared to seek a new indictment of the mayor, “based on evidence that Adams destroyed & instructed others to destroy evidence & provide false information to the FBI, & that would add further factual allegations regarding his participation in a fraudulent straw donor scheme.”

🚨🚨 NEW: At least three MORE #DOJ #PublicIntegrity division senior ofcls have resigned after a meeting w/ #Trump’s acting dpty AG #EmilBove about the dismissal of #EricAdams #corruption case.
That’s a total of 6 officials who resigned, triple the number that happened during the Nixon #SaturdayNightMassacre.
-
#DanielleSassoon also said #EmilBove had scolded a member of her team for taking notes during the meeting & ordered that the notes be collected at the meeting’s end.
Bove accepted Sassoon’s resignation in his own 8pg letter Thurs, in which he blasted her handling of the case & decision to disobey his order.
He told her the prosecutors who had worked on the case against #EricAdams were being placed on leave because they, too, were unwilling to obey his order.#law #Trump

“I therefore deem it necessary to the faithful discharge of my duties to raise the concerns expressed in this letter with you & to request an opportunity to meet to discuss them further,” #DanielleSassoon wrote.
Sassoon, 38, said in her letter that the mayor’s attys“repeatedly urged what amounted to a #QuidProQuo, indicating that #EricAdams would be in a position to assist w/the #DOJ’s enforcement priorities only if the indictment were dismissed.”

#DanielleSassoon, in a remarkable letter addressed to AG #PamBondi, said #EmilBove’s order to dismiss the case was “inconsistent with my ability & duty to prosecute federal crimes without fear or favor & to advance good-faith arguments before the courts.”
“I have always considered it my obligation to pursue justice impartially, without favor to the wealthy or those who occupy important public office, or harsher treatment for the less powerful,” she said.

Acting dpty AG #EmilBove ordered #DanielleSassoon’s office to drop the charges on Mon, saying a potential trial would come too close to when #EricAdams is seeking reelection & the case could hinder his ability to focus on *fighting* [doing] #crime & illegal #immigration.
But prosecutors so far have not asked the trial judge to dismiss the case. If NY prosecutors refused to do so, it’s possible that #DOJ ofcls would send prosecutors from the #PublicIntegrity section to make the request instead. -
The top federal prosecutor in NY & 2 senior #DOJ officials have resigned after a demand by the #Trump admin to drop #corruption charges against NY Mayor #EricAdams, people familiar w/the resignations said.
#DanielleSassoon, the acting US attorney in #SDNY, resigned after refusing to comply w/the controversial order…. Her resignation was confirmed by Nick Biase, a spox for the Southern District, but he did not address the reason. -
