"There never has been an assault on the integrity & professionalism of the attorneys of the Department of #Justice —which is to say, on the #DOJ itself—remotely as spurious & brutal as the one executed last week...

#Bove ordered #Sassoon to dismiss the charges against #NewYork Mayor #EricAdams, and he stated expressly that his decision had been made without assessing the strength of the evidence or the legal theories of the case."

@hart Nota bene: Der #Widerstand in den #usa gegen den #coup ist #weiblich : #Sassoon , #Budde , #aoc 🙌
Wir starren auf die #usa und die #junta #trump und seine #henchmen - der stellv. Generalstaatsanwalt, Emil #Bove III, dem #Sassoon die Gefolgschaft verweigert hat, sieht aus, wie direkt aus #Coppolas #Godfather geschnitten.
Und was können die #demokraten #wiralle jetzt machen? Wir sollten m.E. eine #Strategie der #Mitmenschlichkeit, #Nachhaltigkeit und #Freiheit des # Einzelnen als #Gegenvision formulieren. Auch ein Widerstand in der #Ästhetik wäre gut:

Alright, in den #usa befürwortet die Generalstaatsanwältin Pam #Bondi dass das Strafverfahren gegen #ny Bürgermeister Eric #Adams „heute eingestellt wird“. Die den Fall leitende Staatsanwälting #Sassoon ist zurückgetreten, nachdem sie den Befehl bekam, den Fall zu schließen. Das ist offen #politischejustiz und damit ein Kennzeichen autoritärer #Regime
Die #USA sind keine #liberale Demokratie mehr.

Adams Case Highlights: Justice Dept. Asks Judge to Dismiss Case, Capping Days of Drama

The move was preceded by a wave of resignations of prosecutors, each refusing to sign the motion and some criticizing the Justice Department order to do so in scathing terms.
