They were being weak. Republicans don’t care, they’re just happy that a spot opened up they can fill. They need to stop giving Republicans shit for free and make them fight for it, instead of just giving them our country.
They resisted the bad orders they were given, they publicly talked about the improper things they were being asked to do, they called out everyone doing it to them, and they said they had enough evidence to convict Adams of not only what he is currently charged with, but also had enough to bring new charges, despite possible evidence of him destroying more evidence.
To me it sounds they did what they could within boundries of the law, which they are there to uphold, up until the last moment they could. They’re also pointing out that the charges have not been dropped, just put on hold and how that can be used to blackmail Adams into complying with more criminal acts.
What do you feel they should have done that they didn’t do?
Make them fire her?
From what I can find, it seems that just brings more unnecessary hardship on themselves for no benefit to anyone.
Getting fired costs them their earned benefits, their unemployment benefits, insurance for them and their families, being fired makes it harder to get another federal position, and fighting it has legal costs they’d need to absorb. With people getting barred from their places of work, it doesn’t seem to make sense to think they can’t just lock you out when you go home anyway. With everyone above them being part of team Trump, they’re just spiting themselves. They already spilled the beans on everyone.
They’ve put up more resistance than almost anyone else has so far. They’re lawyers, not revolutionaries. Their responsibility is technically to be anything but revolutionary.
