NEW: At least three more #DOJ #PublicIntegrityUnit senior officials have resigned after meeting with #EmilBove on the Eric #EricAdams case. Five in #PublicIntegrity overall.

That’s six officials who resigned, triple the number that happened during the #SaturdayNightMassacre.

#Resignations

October 20, 1973 - In what was immediately called the "Saturday Night Massacre," President Richard Nixon's Press Secretary, Ron Ziegler, announced that Special Watergate Prosecutor Archibald Cox had been dismissed. Cox had been investigating Nixon, his administration and re-election campaign. Nixon had demanded that he rescind his subpoena for White House recordings.

"#US still unprepared for Russian #electioninterference, #RobertMueller says"

I wonder if that has anything to do with a #SpecialProsecutor too timid to bring down the hammer and let the chips fall where the may; so kicked it to the accused's party-of-government, then washed his hands of it like Pontius Pilate?

Imagine if the #SaturdayNightMassacre had instead consisted of the AGs all passing responsibility on to #Nixon's staunchest cronies?
