Oh, come on Jan 20.
I am literally afraid of America now.
Always admired you.
Always wanted to visit.
But now?

Alternate headline: “Twitter apologizes for doing the right thing for the first and only time in its existence”.

Honestly, I’m shocked they haven’t had their asses sued off by now by everyone who has been booted off the platform. The unequal application of their EULA seems very actionable.

I can only imagine what the line was that he finally decided wasn’t worth crossing… or if this is a “resignation” to get ahead of Trump kicking him out the back door for not corroborating his baseless claims of voter fraud.

So, I guess Rudy will fill in now…
or rather Mr Rosen, a trump toady…
Via Wiki:
On February 19, 2019, President Donald Trump announced his intention to nominate Rosen for the position of United States Deputy Attorney General, succeeding Rod Rosenstein upon his departure from the Department of Justice. He was confirmed by the U.S. Senate on May 16 by a vote of 52–45.[9] His nomination to become the second-highest law enforcement official was unusual, as Rosen had no previous prosecutorial experience.[6] Attorney General William Barr had urged Trump to choose Rosen as his deputy.[10] Rosen was sworn in on May 22, 2019.[11]
In June 2019, Rosen sent a letter to New York state prosecutors inquiring into the case of Paul Manafort and indicating that he would be monitoring where Manafort would be held in custody. Shortly thereafter, federal prison officials informed New York state prosecutors that Manafort would not be held in Rikers Island. Current and former prosecutors described this decision as unusual, because most individuals held in custody while awaiting federal trial are held in Rikers Island, a prison with a reputation for violence and mismanagement.[12]
On July 30, 2020, Rosen wrote a letter to the president of the Puerto Rico Elections Commission denying the Commission’s petition to the U.S. Justice Department to recommend the disbursement of $2.5 million—earmarked under the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2014 for an educational campaign regarding the political future of the Island—to be used in connection with the plebiscite on the political status of Puerto Rico slated to be held in November 2020. Rosen gave as reasons for denying the request that there was insufficient time for the government to complete the request and that the Puerto Rico legislative bill that gave way to the holding of the plebiscite contains statements that the Justice Department did not concur with; namely, that it isn’t clear that the People of Puerto Rico have rejected the territorial status. The bill authorizing the 2020 plebiscite was drafted to elicit a simple “yes” or “no” answer from the voters to the question: “Do you favor Puerto Rico being immediately admitted to the Union? Yes or No.” [13]
On December 14, 2020, Donald Trump announced that Rosen would become acting Attorney General on December 23, when William Barr’s resignation takes effect.[14][15]

The news was released immediately after California put Biden over 270. Trump tried to grab the headlines from Biden’s win.
He’s such a toddler.

He’s trying to cover his ass. He’s implicated in a lot at this point, and his reputation is now indelibly tied to a failed, criminal administration. By drawing a line in the sand over things that have already been done, after they’ve obviously failed (Hunter Biden and the election fraud coup). And leaving a couple weeks early. He’s trying to paint himself as a principled man who stood up to Trump. Probably to avoid consequences for all the rubber stamping and law breaking he did. Possibly so some one would conceivably be willing to hire him or publicly associate with him in the future.
Dude’s a lawyer, and he’s worked at the DOJ off and on for decades. He knows if investigations and charges start flying around he’s right in the middle of all of. With his name on the paperwork and a lot of career bureaucrats mad at him.

From 2016, but I’ve only found it just now while looking for something else.

Funny, I would have interpreted that as “A Flock of Seagulls,” but Trump works too.
