That was Joe diGenova today after resigning from being special prosecutor in SDFLA to look into the "grand conspiracy."
What a mess.
Counselor to the Attorney General Joe diGenova abruptly resigned Thursday from a sprawling probe into former officials in the Obama administration, The Post has learned.
“I did resign today by letter to the attorney general. I said that it was a privilege and an honor to serve the president and the department, and I was very grateful,” diGenova told The Post by phone on Thursday night.
DiGenova was investigating Obama-era figures who allegedly pushed claims of collusion between Donald Trump and Russia during the 2016 presidential campaign,
Sources said diGenova had lost support from Department of Justice leaders and the White House amid his “grand conspiracy” investigation, with one source suggesting that the 81-year-old prosecutor and former Trump defense lawyer was “slow-rolling” indictments and getting lost down “rabbit holes.”
Asked whether he had lost focus, diGenova dismissed the accusation and shot back: “If you want indictments where there’s no evidence, you have an ethical problem.”
Another source added that the diGenova had been sharing “unrealistic expectations” for the probe with the president about what was possible and not possible, leading to a confrontation with Attorney General Todd Blanche.
Remember that he started with lots of fanfare and pictures, after the last prosecutor -- Maria Medetis Long -- said the same thing...
UPDATE -- Of course all of this is going to lead to fighting at DOJ. From CNN, which has interviews with a number of inside sources:
Justice Department officials always intended Quiñones, as the top Senate-confirmed prosecutor in the district, to continue to oversee the probe, the people familiar said. The appointment of diGenova was a clear sign that Justice Department leadership didn’t have confidence that Quiñones could deliver, one of them added.
In a recent clash with top Justice officials, Quiñones sought to disavow any responsibility for what has gone wrong with the investigation, one person familiar with the investigation told CNN. Quiñones was told to stop traveling to Washington and elsewhere and to focus on his job in Miami, a person familiar with the investigation said.
A spokesperson for Quiñones didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.

As Sinead once said,
Whatever it may bring
I will live by my own policies
I will sleep with a clear conscience
I will sleep in peace
Maybe it sounds mean
But I really don't think so
You asked for the truth and I
Told you
Through their own words
They will be exposed
They've got a severe case of
The emperor's new clothes.
The problem with this investigation is the statute of limitations. There was a blatant attempt to frame Trump for colluding with the Russkies. That much is obvious. By the time the evidence of this set up became obvious, Biden was president and it went nowhere. Clawing back 8 years later is almost impossible and doing so would breach a prosecutor''s ethical obligations. Kudos to Joe for doing the right thing. It still amazes me that Marc Elias, the Dem fixer, was never disciplined by the DC bar for camouflaging a wire transfer as a legal fee when it was a payoff to fabricate evidence against Trump.
Trump colluded. The evidence is overwhelming. Why did a number of Trump political associates meet with Russian operatives secretly overseas and then lie about those meetings? There are a handful of guilty pleas entered by the Trump associates regarding those meetings.
Um, what Joe said is that there was no evidence to support an indictment. So whatever “obvious” evidence you’re referring to apparently does not exist except in some people’s imaginations.
Excellent pop culture reference, and a deep cut, no less!
@6:45am: you get up that early already in evidence-less conspiracy land? Condolences to you. I hope you recover!
Quinones is a hack
Indeed
Yes, they tried to smear Trump. Thankfully Trump beat them on election day. Twice. Obama, Biden, Harris, Hillary, all fools who wrecked the Democrat party, the party of crooked pronoun lawyers. Yes @6:45, Marc Elias is another fool who helped wreck the dems.

You have the talking points wrong he won 3 times you must be a Dumocrat.
Dem here. Not feeling wrecked at all. But do tell how your life has improved thanks to getting the upper hand on what is apparently the all-important all-consuming pronouns war? No. You’ve elected the most corrupt president we’ve ever had, destroying the east wing of the White House, building monuments to himself, starting a completely unnecessary war he doesn’t know how to get out of, antagonizing our allies, and laughing all the way to the bank that you elected him again because pronouns. He’s a con and you’re the mark.
@2:15am - That last sentence.🔥 It encapsulates so much.
Also, as a fellow 'dem' (of the worst order: super liberal and progressive), kudos to being this cogent at 2am. That's usually when I'm over-undering when exactly historians will agree that Revolution2.0 officially began.
9:41 here to 2:51. Your response shows why the dems are failing. I'm not a Republican and I did not vote for Trump. No Party Affiliation (NPA) is the way forward. Your comment misses the point. Why follow a failed policy expecting a different outcome?
Re: " But do tell how your life has improved…" See the first comment, "As Sinead once said,..."
9:41 here to 11:14. Revolution2.0? Be careful what you wish for. Nixon was right about the Shah. The current Iran war belongs to some Nutty-yahoo. Big mistake.

NPA? Didn't vote for him? I have my doubts about at least one of those, but even assuming you're telling us all the truth ... "the party of crooked pronoun lawyers"? 😂
You were still the mark and they still got you, your actual party affiliation and voting record notwithstanding.
@1.24, In 2024 I voted for myself as a candidate.

The Alliance for Consumers issued a report in July 2026, "How The Legal System Is Being Used To Advance Political Priorities Like DEI And Install A Left-Wing Agenda.

In my view the pronoun lawyers, which is the dem party, don't actually care about that stuff, but use the issue to attract voters. As lawyers, they make money suing people for DEI. In other words, DEI is their paycheck. In that sense, it does not matter to them if they get elected. They have a day job as pronoun lawyers. Explain to me who is the mark in this scenario.
I’m not 1:24, but oh my, you’re still the mark. Your description is not how any of this works and you still don’t get it. But I wish you peace.
I am 1:24 - but 4:34am covered all the bases, even if too early in the morning. Also took a quick peak at your "blog." The dawn-of-the-internet, 1996 multi-colored-font manifesto vibes are a nice touch. Told me everything I needed to know, i.e., time to disengage here.

4:34 Here - What a shocker. The same administration pushing the propaganda wants to save your blog to its library. You see this fits their “many people are saying” BS. They told you, now you tell them and voila, it must be true! But it’s not. And someday real historians will have to scrub the lies from the “official” record. May this chaos someday end.
@4:34 - - we need to be friends, or probably date. 😂 Think of all the brainwashed trolls we could skewer together! You're so efficient at it.
If only I could think of a way to tell you who I am!
💛,

Same old tired clueless song!

@9:41 AM do you take sugar or Splenda in your koolaide?
@2:39 PM, The koolaid drinkers are the people calling 'mom' a 'birthing person', LOL!
