🔥🔥🔥
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.

#HaganScotten served 3 combat tours in Iraq as a Special Forces officer, graduated from Harvard Law School & clerked for #SCOTUS Chief Justice #JohnRoberts. In his scathing #resignation letter, he expresses disdain for the justifications #EmilBove III, a top #DOJ official, presented for dismissing the case, including some involving US Atty Damian Williams.

“Some will view the mistake you are committing here in the light of their generally negative views of the new administration. I do not share those views. I can even understand how a chief executive whose background is in business & politics might see the contemplated dismissal-with-leverage as a good, if distasteful, deal.” But any such arrangement would be contrary to the #law, #HaganScotten wrote.
