Federal prosecutors had a warrant to collect evidence from Ms. Good’s vehicle, but Trump administration leaders said to drop it. About a dozen prosecutors have departed, leaving the Minnesota U.S. attorney’s office in turmoil.

        Yeah, that’s the point. MAGA loyalists are mediocre lawyers at best, and without exception they end up costing the regime far more than they win.

        For example, when the actual Virginia AG quit rather than prosecute James Comey and Letitia James as political retribution, the replacement was so bad that the situation ended up getting both cases thrown out and the replacement MAGA loyalist too. It was a total fail for the regime.

        So more power to these guys, I say. I can’t think of a better way for these prosecutors to shoot the regime in the foot than to walk out and take their expertise with them. The replacement hacks in general do not win, and just the walkout alone will likely stymie anything else the regime wants to do with it, like investigate Renee Good’s wife.

      And nothing else, like go public with exactly what you were asked and who? Just quit?
