I'm neither a Lib nor a Prog, but I am a former student of Scalia's in law school. What are you babbling about? Scalia was very much against injecting politics into criminal law.
I don't see any evidence that Sassoon was injecting politics. In her letter (which you didn't read), she laid out the reasons why the case couldn't be dismissed without prejudice in good faith.
Once federal criminal prosecution is initiated, there IS a limit to prosecutorial discretion. Rule 48(a) requires leave of court to dismiss a case.

If she were so publicity hungry, why would she resign from being a prosecutor in the SDNY, THE highest profile prosecutorial gig in the US?

As you well know, the Left hates Scalia and everything/everyone that he influenced in any way. So for them to reference her Scalia connections in their reeeeeeeee-ing about this is amusing.
Also, my point about prosecutorial discretion has nothing to do with the FRCP.

Thanks for the response. Sorry to accuse you of babbling.
Mind explaining your point about prosecutorial discretion?

Trump (and supporters [including me]) said that the cases against him were abuses of prosecutorial discretion, which opponents poo-pooed taking the position that it was unfettered (i.e., could not be abused [and wasn't being abused]). I am merely pointing out example #2311244 of the hypocrisy of the Left.

There is something larger in the works relative to the Trump administration and the mayor. I can hardly wait to see what that is. I knew when Adams started to cozy up with Trump before the election, he was going to get a pardon. We will now see why.
There are a lot of bad, uncooperative politicians in New York. For now Adams will not be one of them.
I agree with all of this. That's why I wanted to see the pardon route rather than muddying the legal waters with a dismissal without prejudice.

Guess the depoliticization of DOJ lasted a whole week or two
Or the charges were "politicization" to begin with. They started under biden when Adams was demanding that the Federal Government do something. After what we saw happen against Trump, I can see it.

Except Trump’s choice for US Atty looked at the actual evidence and said no, there is meat on the bone here (and additional crimes of obstruction).
Her superior, who literally said we don’t care about the evidence, instructed her to dismiss anyway.
Five more prosecutors much closer to the actual evidence have also resigned instead of carrying out a nakedly political directive.
So again, depoliticization for thee, not for me

You’vre pretty damned selective with the facts. It’s the Trump DOJ that has politicized the case. Adams was getting his palm greased on the reg. Sleazy stuff. The prosecutor who just resigned was very reputable and, in fact, a conservative Republican.

I can’t believe people hear listened to the same Adams interview that I did and came away with the idea that he was charged with bs. He is full of shite.
But - if trump gets a puppet in nyc and returns it from whatever it’s became, maybe there is a positive out of the quid pro quo.

Agree with this. That's why I think the pardon (political) route, rather than the legal route should have been taken.
Much easier to have Trump say in complete honesty: "I'm not completely sure what would have happened if the case against Mayor Adams had gone to trial. Certainly with the age of some of the allegations and the timing of the indictment, many people believe the Biden DOJ charged Mayor Adams only because he opposed the radical open border policies of the last Administration. There's urgent work to be done to Make America Great Again. America's greatest city isn't helped during this critical time by the distraction of having its mayor prosecuted for relatively minor allegations."

Because she's impotent & realized it.

If she had just followed orders, do you think there is a more powerful legal position open to her than being a SDNY prosecutor?

I'm not arguing that, but the position has as much power as the boss allows. In this case she had none.

Fair enough.
After reading her letter to Bondi and looking into her background, Sassoon just doesn't come across to me as some rogue prosecutor whose chief goal is self-promotion. I don't think the Trump Administration would have made her acting US Attorney for SDNY if that were the case.
