DOGE v. DOJ

🔴 UPDATE: February 14, 2025

The Department of Justice (DOJ) is in crisis as six senior officials have now resigned in protest following the Trump administration’s unprecedented order to drop the corruption case against New York City Mayor Eric Adams.

The resignations began after Acting Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove intervened, demanding that prosecutors dismiss the case. The most high-profile departure so far is Acting U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York (SDNY), Danielle Sassoon, who stepped down immediately after refusing to comply.

While some may see this as a victory for the rule of law—where principled attorneys refuse to follow corrupt orders—it is, in reality, a step toward the fascists’ endgame. Every resignation of an ethical prosecutor, career federal employee, or independent official leaves a void that will be swiftly filled with loyalists willing to do the regime’s bidding. The more principled individuals who step aside, the easier it becomes to weaponize the government against the public. This is not a triumph—it’s the intended outcome of authoritarianism.

📅 Date: February 12, 2025
📰 Action:

The Trump administration has forced the DOJ to drop its corruption case against New York City Mayor Eric Adams, despite mounting evidence of financial misconduct.

The case, led by SDNY’s Public Integrity Section, was investigating allegations of illegal campaign donations and financial dealings tied to Adams’ administration. Prosecutors had built what they described as a “clear and compelling” case, but Trump’s DOJ ordered them to immediately dismiss all charges.

🔍 Consequences:

• DOJ Independence Shattered: The forced dismissal of the Adams case sends a chilling message that political loyalty trumps the rule of law.

• Mass Prosecutor Resignations: Multiple career DOJ officials have already resigned in protest, including key figures in the Public Integrity Section.

• Public Trust in Law Enforcement Erodes: If the DOJ can be weaponized to protect political allies, what happens when federal prosecutors investigate Trump or his inner circle?

🚨 Why This Matters:

This is a direct attack on the rule of law. The DOJ’s Public Integrity Section exists to hold powerful figures accountable without political interference. By forcing prosecutors to drop a major corruption case, the Trump administration is openly dismantling the last barriers of accountability—and sending a message that loyalty, not justice, determines who faces consequences.
