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.
I would agree about some portion of them. I will say a whole lot of people are just checked the hell out. Many people think their vote does not matter and take virtually everything for granted.
But then there are the people that DID know better, but thought they’d play games because of Gaza and/or because the Democrats did not give them a pretty, pretty pony. They convinced others to be just as apathetic, too.
Infuriating.
