Summary
The Justice Department’s decision to dismiss bribery charges against NYC Mayor Eric Adams has led to a wave of resignations, tripling those of the 1973 “Saturday Night Massacre.”
Six senior officials, including Manhattan U.S. Attorney Danielle Sassoon, stepped down in protest, citing concerns over political interference.
Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove ordered the dismissal, arguing the case was “weaponization” of the justice system.
Legal experts see parallels to past executive overreach, raising alarm over the independence of the Southern District of New York.
COOL. Cool. cool. Doesn’t this mean they will just get replaced by people that fall in line with corruption?
just a bump in the road. bondi gonna fire those who doesn’t anyway.
Yeah - but when future generations (if there are any) appraise this time frame at least these folk will be seen as being outside and opposed to the oligarch-fascist take over.

You’re not wrong…
And yet there are plenty of histories today that challenge the claims of the past’s winners. A part of studying historical literature is discerning and accounting for the bias of the authors and correlating it with other sources. A part of studying history in turn is matching up what you find in literature with what archaeology finds.
History isn’t done once the event has happened. Even if the oligarchs win this war, it’s unlikely they’ll be the ones to build the Actually Really Eternal Empire (Forever This Time) that manages to suppress all study of history ever.
The winner may write history, but they’re not the only ones to ever read it.
Probably, but what else can they do? Someone that goes along with the corruption is worse than someone in on the corruption. At least the latter cost money.
They could quietly be a nuisance and gather or even leak information, just off the top of my head.
Because the “adults in the room” the first time did that, rather than holding out for book deals after it was over, right?
