A Republican With Integrity
NEW YORK NIGHTS
We just read the text of Acting Manhattan US Attorney Danielle Sassoon’s resignation letter, after President Donald J. Trump had installed her on his first day in office. What a profile in courage this woman is! Not only did she refuse to bend to Trump’s outrageous order to drop all charges against Mayor Eric Adams, disgracefully carried out by AG Pam Bondi, she clearly and lucidly spelled out the reasons why the order had nothing to do with promoting justice in any way! While this is expected behavior from Trump and Bondi, they must have been totally shocked to face a Republican with integrity. We know we certainly were. Adams is surely done as mayor anyway, and we can now expect him to be rewarded with an ambassadorship, or some other role where he can kiss Trump’s ring; maybe “Sanctuary Cities Immigration Czar”. Yet as far as we’re concerned, Danielle Sassoon has shown more guts, more knowledge of the law and more commitment to truth than Trump and Bondi combined could ever dream of. We would vote to confirm her as America’s AG in a heartbeat!
