Attorney General Pam Bondi was so furious with six federal prosecutors who announced they would resign rather than prosecute the widow of a Minnesota woman killed by an ICE agent that she fired them before they had a chance to give their notice.

It’s better strategically but you need to have the strength to do so. Sometimes people are overwhelmed by something and just need to get out of the situation and I think that is OK too. Everyone should do what they are capable off, but it should be fine to just stop doing wrong stuff.
Exactly. It’s easy to tell people what they should be doing, from the outside.
A government derives its authority from the consent of the governed. The governed offer their consent as part of a social contract. The government’s role in that contract is to represent the will of the governed by enforcing the laws passed by our representatives.
The reason it’s easy for us to expect them to remain and enforce the law, is because that’s what they promised us in exchange for following their laws and paying their taxes.
And the DoJ no longer had the consent of their prosecutors in Minnesota, so they walked, as was their right.
Walking out en masse and taking their combined years of experience with them was the right thing to do. Now the regime that already has a serious problem retaining legal talent has to go find some more talentless hacks to fill these empty positions, lol.
There’s a reason Pam Bondi’s truly pissed by this, and it’s not all superficial.
Ok thx
Public servants have an obligation to the general public that overrides all other priorities. If you’re not prepared to use your powers to resist fascism, or even corruption, on behalf of the public you serve, you shouldn’t pursue a career in public service.
We consent to following their rules in exchange for them representing our will; that is the social contract between a government and her governed people.
You write as though you have no idea whatsoever how this works in reality.
Go read up on Alina Habba and Lindsey Halligan. Great legs, mediocre attorneys, illegal appointments, and they’ve lost more for the regime than they ever even began to win.
Hell, I’ll make it easy for you and give you a TL;DR: because the previous Virginia AG refused to prosecute revenge charges for Trump against his political enemies and walked out, and was replaced by Lindsey Halligan, the resulting questionable legal moves and political drama meant that in the end charges against James Comey and Letitia James have been dropped altogether. Similar situation with Alina Habba, who is now no longer New Jersey AG.
Walking out and taking your expertise with you, forcing the regime to find people to replace you, is already working very well on the ground to fuck up the regime’s revenge prosecutions.
ice is technically a public servant… stupid treasonous mother fuckers
Public servants are not the government. They have an obligation to do what the government tells them to do.
Or you find that you can’t and quit.
