7 federal inspections last week Resigned Instead of dismissing federal crimes against New York City Mayor Eric Adams, they were right because they did so. fire It is a terrible quo charged with Adams, who agrees to help President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown, and in return.
The incident emphasized how the second Trump administration quickly applied the authoritarian playbook, and it reached a stage where the demands reached too illegal, and even loyalty could not perform.
Attorney General Emil Bove, deputy director of Emil Bove, was previously hired as one of Trump’s lawyers. order The prosecution decreased, but no criminal charges were dismissed, with insufficient prosecution or evidence. Instead, Bob said that the suspended criminal charges mean that Adams cannot be interested in fighting illegal immigration and violent crimes.
Needless to say, this is not a typical reason for dismissing criminal charges. But Trump is reminiscent of Trump’s claim to his detective charges. If the president threatens the future prosecution It will be prevented They should not be immune from prosecution because they do not take “bold and not mentioned behavior.”
Of course, the conservative majority of the US Supreme Court bought and invented the claim. Absolute presidential exemption In the whole cloth. Bob’s claim was roughly the same. How could Adams be totally involved in kicking immigrants in the teeth if they had to take time to take time to defend themselves in a crime case?
In addition to the illegal Quid Pro Quo contract, the dismissal of the ADAMS was provided with another unusual part, which should be dismissed without prejudice. This provides a lot of leverage for Adams. DOJ can simply threaten to withdraw the charges of crime whenever Adams is insufficiently malicious or inadequate Trump in a other way.
This demand was so unusual that the first person who refused to do it was not the Biden’s withholder or Liberal Federal prosecutor. Rather Daniel Small–Judge Antonin Scalia, a federal social member and a former secretary who appointed a temporary lawyer in the southern New York, a few weeks ago. Sassoon is a Amazing letter The quid pro quo is described in detail and recommends a Sassoon team member who has taken notes during negotiations.
Some other prosecutors resigned rather than signing this non -ethical contract. KEVIN Driscoll, Minister of Justice, Kevin Driscoll, and the acting director of the public integrity section, John Keller. Both leftThe same was true of the Keller team’s three prosecutors.
ADAMS case, Hagen Scotten’s senior inspection RetiredBove said, “After all, we will find a silly person or a cowardly person to raise your movement. But it never got out. ” Like Sassoon, Scotten is not a wild liberalist. clerk John Roberts Chief Justice and Judge Brett Kavanaugh returned when the latter was a federal appeal.
Bove then convened a meeting of the entire public integrity section and asked them to go forward and sign the dismissal. Demand was everyone It will be fired Unless someone goes up. Ed Sullivan career tested agreed to signed to prevent mass launch. Another prosecutor, Antoinette Bacon, also signed, but in the case of Bacon, she reported that she truly followed the bob.
Bob also signed a dismissal. The other prosecution has signed the dismissal, which is not only a loyal test for other prosecutors, but also a way to see how the executive can see the federal prosecution to act non -ethically. Bove and Bacon were able to sign the dismissal at any time to avoid resignation of Richard Nixon. Saturday night massacre It looks like a tea party. In this situation, Nixon tried to cause confusion with a special prosecutor who was leading the water gate investigation.
Theoretically, the United States had to have some guard rails about DOJ’s weapon. Historically, DOJ maintained a separate level from the White House, because the department must serve not the president.
But PAM BONDI Attorney General declaration Trump will now set priority and goals. In the memo published right after her inauguration, she declaration The Doj employee had to be “ready and willing” to bid for the president.
Trump, other than DOJ, is also trying to make federal employees more safer to whistle to the kind of behavior that Bove participates. that fire Hampton Dellinger, a special lawyer office officer, an internal accuser and a federal institution that investigates retaliation for violations of the administrative ethics.
Delinger can only be done according to the law. It is removed In the case of “obligations, illegal or non -efficiency,” Trump did not pretend to remove the delinger. Instead, DELLINGER is A One line email His position immediately ended effectively.
DELLINGER filed a lawsuit against his dismissal, and Washington DC’s federal judge issued a temporary order during the case. After the DC circuit court refusal Trump asked the Supreme Court to solve the problem to raise a temporary order. controversy He could not simply remove the head of an independent agency, so he was irreversible.
All of these acts are part of Trump in the administration. The demanding federal employees are designed to remove those who do not go with his plans to participate in illegal or non -ethical behavior.
It is terrible that it took too short time for such demands to take too much time. What he is looking for is the same terrible Complete control Previously independent agency. He is not a place where moral loyalty bids after chasing the entire management. Now, unlimited authoritarianism is immediately felt at the corner.
