from the resignation letter of Hagan Scotten —

“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. But it was never going to be me.”

— which of course dropped FIFTEEN MINUTES *AFTER* I PUBLISHED MY POST

here's something I opted not to include in my post. Josh Marshall claims that Sassoon's resignation letter to Bove "reveals that she witnessed Emil Bove negotiating an explicit quid-pro-quo in which Adams agreed to provide political and policy assistance to Donald Trump in exchange for dropping the criminal charges against him." I've read the letter. I don't see what Josh sees. maybe I'm missing it because it's cloaked in thick legalese that I couldn't penetrate.
