   "Because the law does not support a dismissal, and because I am confident that Adams has committed the crimes with which he is charged, I cannot agree to seek a dismissal driven by improper considerations." - Danielle Sassoon, resigning her position as U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of NY.

     Nice to see this sort of integrity. I'll bet Dersh is disappointed in his former research assistant whereas Scalia is smiling up from somewhere.

     And Preet Bharara is having a very good day.

     @mattblaze @heidilifeldman
     Footnote 1 is jaw-dropping:

     I attended a meeting on Jan 31, 2025, with Mr. Bove, Adams's counsel, and members of my office. Adams's attorneys repeatedly urged what amounted to a quid pro quo, indicating that Adams would be in a position to assist with the Dept's enforcement priorities only if the indictment were dismissed. Mr. Bove admonished a member of my team who took notes during that meeting and directed the collection of those notes at the meeting's conclusion.
