"Today, Hagan Scotten, the acting assistant U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York, resigned in a blistering letter to Bove, calling his justification for dropping the charges against (NY mayor) Adams 'transparently pretextual.'
"Scotten - who earned two bronze stars as a troop commander in Iraq and clerked for Chief Justice John Roberts - told Bove that '[t]here is a tradition in public service of resigning in a last-ditch effort to head off a serious mistakeβ¦. [A]ny assistant U.S. attorney would know that our laws and traditions do not allow using the prosecutorial power to influence other citizens, much less elected officials, in this way.' "
"He continued: 'If no lawyer within earshot of the President is willing to give him that advice, then I expect you will eventually find someone who is enough of a fool, or enough of a coward, to file your motion [to dismiss the case]. But it was never going to be me. Please consider this my resignation.' "
