FYI the Chicago #USattorney, Andrew S. Boutros of the Northern District of IL, was recently appointed by #Trump.
AND, last May, #Boutros had to dismiss all the charges he brought in the "Broadview Six" #immigration #protest case after his staff's grand jury #misconduct was revealed. He was excoriated for defending the prosecution by Judge #AprilPerry who described it as the worst prosecutorial misconduct she had ever seen, all of which occurred on Boutros's watch.

For a #contempt resolution to carry the force of #Congress, the full #Senate must adopt it; in that case, it would be sent to the #USattorney in Washington, DC [ #JeaninePirro ], who could then present a case to a grand jury. But contempt resolutions require a 60-vote majority, & with 53 #Republicans in the Senate, adoption is highly unlikely.

Inside the Oval Office Showdown Between #Trump & #JeaninePirro
Jeanine Pirro, the #USattorney for DC, told Trump that his #interior secretary, #DougBurgum, had misled him with a self-serving cover story for his own mistakes.
When Pirro is the sanest most capable person in the room, well, get the hell out of that room.

#Trump is considering removing #JeaninePirro, the #USattorney for #DC, over a #DOJ conclusion that problems with the Lincoln Memorial #ReflectingPool stemmed from a flawed renovation rather than vandalism….
Trump is “furious” with Pirro, one of the sources said, telling CNN that he fumed about her all weekend. They added that based on his criticisms of her, they find it “highly likely she’s removed from her job.”

The #subpoenas contain few specifics, asking only that the #journalists testify “in regard to an alleged violation of federal criminal law.” They were issued by #JayClayton, the #USattorney in Manhattan. Clayton, who leads one of the country’s most prominent law enforcement offices, was recently nominated by #Trump to serve as director of national intelligence [ #DNI ].

#DOJ drops criminal probe of #FederalReserve chair #JeromePowell
#USAttorney for DC #JeanninePirro said Friday that her office was ending its probe into the Fed’s building renovations because the Fed’s IG would scrutinize them instead.
The decision ends an investigation, one of several into #Trump’s perceived adversaries, that for months had failed to gain traction as prosecutors struggled to articulate a basis to suspect #criminal conduct.

#DOJ Targets Hundreds of #Citizens in New Push for #Denaturalization
The #Trump admin is assigning denaturalization cases to regular prosecutors, which could lead to a surge of people stripped of US citizenship.
The DOJ has identified 384 foreign-born Americans whose #citizenship it wants to revoke, part of a push to increase the pace of denaturalizations by assigning the cases to prosecutors in dozens of #USattorney’s offices across the country.

Top #Trump housing official, #BillPulte, issues new #criminal referral for New York AG #LetitiaJames after several previous attempts failed
According to a person familiar with the matter, Pulte, the director of the #FHFA, issued 2 referrals to the #DOJ, one to the #USAttorney for Northern District of Illinois & another to the US Attorney for Southern District of Florida.
Both alleged “suspected homeowners insurance fraud.”

The hearing did not go as prosecutors had planned. Judge Quraishi grew frustrated with the office’s head of appeals, Mark Coyne, who had not formally disclosed that he would appear, & fiercely interrogated a more junior prosecutor about whether the former interim #USattorney, #AlinaHabba, still had some role in operating the office.
Judge Quraishi eventually threw Coyne out.

Judge Zahid Quraishi ordered a hearing on who had the authority to lead New Jersey’s top federal law enforcement office.
A federal judge threw a top prosecutor from the NJ #USattorney’s office out of his courtroom during a sentencing hearing this week & demanded that the office’s leadership testify about who had authority over their actions.

In a blistering 27-page decision unsealed on Friday, the judge, James #Boasberg, derided the #USattorney’s office in Washington, led by the #Trump loyalist #JeaninePirro, for pursuing a case against #JeromePowell. It appeared that the only reason prosecutors had to do so, he added, was Trump’s desire to seek #vengeance against the #Fed chair. Powell has long resisted calls from the White House to adjust #InterestRates for political reasons.

#DOJ officials & #USAttorney Jason Reding Quiñones made a push in January to bring a case against him, according to two people briefed on the matter, but some career prosecutors in the Southern District of Florida resisted the pressure.
