Mass resignations at DOJ as prosecutors refuse to drop charges against Eric Adams as part of Trump’s corrupt bargain. WATCH: Ryan Grim explains

Senator Whitehouse asks Pam Bondi about the weaponization of the DOJ during her confirmation hearing. Whitehouse: "it would not be appropriate for a prosecutor to start with a name and look for a crime. It's a prosecutor's job to start with a crime and look for a name, correct?"  Bondi: "Senator, I think that is the whole problem with the weaponization that we have seen the last four years and what's been happening to Donald Trump. They targeted Donald Trump. They went after him, actually starting back in 2016. They targeted his campaign. They have launched countless investigations against him. That will not be the case if I am Attorney General. I will not politicize that office. I will not target people simply because of their political affiliation. Justice will be administered even handedly throughout this country. Senator, we've got to bring this country back together. We've got to move forward or we're going to lose our country."

@ryangrim Why did they resign and not force trump to explicitly fire them?

Yeah, those hotel room upgrades are a massive scandal. Good to see you guys focusing on the most important things of the day. I too think USAID shaping massive advertising boycotts to push opinions (incidentally in a direction aligned with Drop Site's politics) is really not worth spending much time on. Keep up the good fight.

@ryangrim Ryan is this not just the inverse of what was done to the current president by the previous justice department? All of it is gross.

@ryangrim lol great news

@ryangrim Hypocrits. #clownshow 🤡🤡🤡

@ryangrim Less people to lay off at DOJ. These guys are taking one for the team by resigning.
