Trump loyalist Joe diGenova resigned from the DOJ investigation targeting Trump’s critics. Michael Popok reacts: “If you lose a true Kool-Aid-drinking believer like Joe diGenova, who was so nuts that he was kicked off Team Crazy by Rudy Giuliani, what does that say about your ‘grand conspiracy’?”

A Trump-acolyte quits the team in Florida.

Joe DiGenova was reportedly helping lead a probe of Trump foes in Florida, but bailed due to his "ethical" concerns about investigation

DiGenova might've faced a "grand jury" concern with the probe too

So is Todd gonna personally present the case to the Ft. Pierce grand jury or….?

Because if you can’t even persuade Joe DiGenova or Kurt Olsen to do it….who’s left?

Propagandist John Solomon reports that Joe DiGenova will be added to DOJ's investigative team undermining RU investigation.

The delays in the Senate come as Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche is ramping up resources in Florida and Washington DC to develop the weaponization conspiracy case. The career prosecutor who was running the weaponization probe was sent back to her post this week in Miami, and former U.S. Attorney Joseph diGenova is set to start Monday as the new lead prosecutor on Russia collusion matters. DiGenova, a longtime vocal Trump supporter who also did legal work for the president, is a veteran and accomplished federal prosecutor who has worked as a U.S. Attorney in the nation's capital as well as an independent and special counsel in politically sensitive cases.

NEW: An 81-year-old lawyer named Joe diGenova is now leading a criminal probe of Trump’s perceived adversaries.

DiGenova has long been an enthusiastic promoter of the so-called “Grand Conspiracy” case—but he may turn out to be its most consequential liability.

When Joe diGenova resigns because the stuff he’s being asked to do by Trump and Blanche is too unethical for him, that’s when you know it was REALLY fucking shady shit.

Blanche put Joe diGenova in charge, but he resigned a bit ago. Loads of people had been subpoenaed or asked to provide testimony in this case, including ex-CIA chief John Brennan and former Deputy Director of the FBI Andy McCabe. END/

Lots of details in this piece that have flown under the radar. According to DiGenova himself:

(1) Bondi previously nixed his appointment to run the FL probe
(2) Bondi was fired over Trump’s frustration w/ the slow pace of the case
(3) Trump personally asked him to lead the investigation
= Menu LAWFARE DiGenova has also been willing to pull back the curtain on the palace intrigue surrounding his recent hiring: Just this month, in an interview with Rudy Giuliani, diGenova claimed that former Attorney General Pam Bondi was "singularly responsible for the delay and investigations into the lawfare against Donald Trump that's being run out of the...U.S. attorney's office in Miami and Ft. Pierce." Saying she had previously nixed his appointment to run the probe, diGenova insisted, "If she had not done that, we would have had indictments brought in the last two months." DiGenova further suggested that Bondi had been fired over the president's frustration with the slow pace of the Miami probe."The president's conversation with her yesterday coming back from the Supreme Court was not pleasant," he said, referring to the conversation in which Trump reportedly fired Bondi. "The president was ripping mad about the fact that there was no progress on the lawfare investigation in Miami." On April 20, the same day he was sworn in, diGenova appeared on WBAL Radio and said the president "personally asked" him to accept the role running what he called "the Russia hoax investigation." Later-sketching out the Grand Conspiracy in full—he noted "the historical significance of what happened in 2016, 2020 and 2024, where it's very evident...that there was a very brazen plot against a private citizen, and then a president, and then a post-president, and then a sitting president again, Donald Trump, to deny him his civil rights."

For those who are new, Joe DiGenova has spent the last 30 years baselessly accusing Democrats of committing crimes. If he is saying publicly the Trump administration pushed him out because he wouldn’t bring cases because there was no evidence, things are really bad.
