More resignations of federal prosecutors are expected at the US Attorney’s Office in Minnesota amid ongoing frustration over the Trump administration’s response to the fatal shooting of Renée Good by an ICE officer in Minneapolis.
“I have heard there may be more people leaving, people I would consider senior and respected career prosecutors,” said Anders Folk, a former acting US attorney in Minnesota, who left the office in 2021 to work for the Justice Department in Washington, DC, under former President Biden.
Minnesota Federal Defender Katherian Roe, in a staffwide email obtained by the Sahan Journal, also wrote that “more resignations are anticipated” at the US Attorney’s Office. “It’s a sign that something is not right” there, added Folk, who is still in touch with colleagues in the office and is now running for Hennepin County Attorney.
Already this week, at least five federal prosecutors in Minnesota announced their resignations. Among them was the office’s second-in-command, Joseph Thompson, who was overseeing the welfare fraud investigation involving Somali immigrants that President Trump used as a pretext to send his immigration force to Minneapolis.
I’m a big fan of “fuck quitting, make them fire you” and collecting a paycheck while doing basically nothing until they actually do it themselves. I’m not making their job easier when they deserve to get fucked over.
It’s the Trump administration. The second you not do as ordered you get the boot.
Being hyperbolic I grant you but point is getting rid of opposition within the Executive Branch is rather easy for the administration to do
Public unions still exist. It’s not always as easy as you might think.
Exist but been getting Union busted by Trump
Ok you’re right, they should just shut the fuck up and quit.
Just say you are and drag your feet. Take SL randomly, make all sorts of errors that will cause paperwork and court filings to have to be redone. Just play idiot until they eventually fire you.
Now why do that when they already do so (well some of the time anyways.)
Sure. Which is why when they say “do this thing” you say “ok” and then wait a day or two and just send an email. If you get a response, sit on it for a while. If you don’t, wait until you get asked about it to follow up.

Only to get fired anyways because during said follow up they will see you didn’t do as told.
If the email is an attempt to whistle blow that’s the Fed Raid I mentioned already.
And also seriously you’re going to use a fucking CIA Article?
Yes. Only to get fired anyway.
Make them do it. Don’t do their work for them.
That document was created before the CIA existed, for use during WWII. It was written to encourage citizens under fascist regimes to work against their government and industries.
If you would prefer, it’s hosted on Project Gutenberg. Just search “simple sabotage”
It’s still a link to the CIA website. Not saying the information in question is Bull, just the source is bull
Oh, totally fair, i kind of figured that was your concern. Just telling you where to find it. Also, giving an explanation as to why the CIA is being cited, and why it is actually much more reasonable than trying to take anything the modern CIA would produce at face value.
That being said, the document demonstrates an almost farcical lack of care for the safety of the saboteur, giving many suggestions which surely, even at that time, must have been near-guaranteed to lead to capture of the saboteur.
That’s probably why the CIA shares the information. Makes catching opposition easier when they commit actions that have serious safety flaws.
Well, it’s all about the politics.
In other words, reality is irrelevant. All that matters is the messaging. If you resign, you get to start all the political bullshit on message. If you are fired, whoever fired you sets the stage instead.
Career politicians are a cancer on society. And if they cared about achievements or legacy, they would absolutely not be successful in making politics their career.
