Under pressure, #DOJ lawyers felt forced to choose between bad options in the #EricAdams case.
The acting dpty AG, #EmilBove, a #Trump political appointee, made a demand that many of them viewed as improper: One of them needed to sign the official request to dismiss #corruption charges against Adams.
The lawyers knew that those who had already refused had resigned, & they could also be forced out.
