Yesterday was the Red Mass of the Holy Spirit at Gesù Catholic Church. The Miami Catholic Lawyers Guild organizes the event every year. The Lex Christi, Lex Amoris Award was presented to Chief Judge Altonaga by Judge Ruiz. For those of you whose Latin is rusty, the award translates to Law of Christ, Law of Love. The mass was presided over by Archbishop Wenski, pictured below with the aforementioned judges.

The South Florida US attorney’s office is recruiting prosecutors and restructuring its chain of command in preparation for a grand jury investigation expected to target former Justice Department officials and others involved in cases against President Donald Trump.
Under the leadership of a Trump-loyalist US attorney, Jason Reding Quiñones, the Miami-based office has been inviting current staff and outside lawyers to join the new investigative team to be housed within its national security unit, said four people familiar with the situation.
Scott Strauss, a law school classmate of Reding Quiñones who worked with him as a South Florida federal prosecutor, is playing a potentially significant role in the plans, said the people, who spoke anonymously to avoid reprisal.
Less than two years into the job, Strauss was pushed out of the US attorney’s office for trying to launch baseless 2020 voting fraud conspiracy investigations, the individuals added. He proceeded to help lead Florida Gov. Ron Desantis’ election crimes office in 2022.
People close to the office are waiting to learn if Strauss will return to head up the grand jury project, or if a respected career prosecutor currently running the national security section will remain in charge of it. Strauss recently asked at least one attorney from outside the office to join the South Florida grand jury team, three people familiar with the matter said.
Two of the office’s recently-hired line prosecutors abruptly resigned under duress after being asked this week to join the grand jury investigation, said three individuals.
They exited following a tense meeting in which superiors accused them of leaking information about their new assignment to the media or discussing it with colleagues.
Can you explain this “Strauss was pushed out of the US attorney’s office for trying to launch baseless 2020 voting fraud conspiracy investigations” since he left before the election? Sounds like the speakers are making it up as they go.
