Further evidence the MAGA Dept of Justice is trying to suppress justice for Renee Good.
This is not the first DOJ resignation over leadership's corruption.

The US now presents itself as a lawless and piratical nation, plundering and pillaging the assets of a poorer neighbor. Serious question: Are most Americans okay with that?
Serious answer - "America First" always promised letting Trump act above the law.
So, yes, his voters certainly are okay with it (that's about 30% and overwhelmingly white). His opponents always knew the risks and tried to stop him (another 30%, overwhelmingly not white). The remaining 40% avoid all politics and just try to survive the day.
Trump’s latest peace plan is dead on arrival.
In Europe, most Ukraine allies have said so, and lawmakers in the US even claim, Marco Rubio admitted the plan is Russia’s wish list.
Next week we may see Macron, Meloni and others at The White House, again trying to please the unpleasable. But even to these seasoned politicians, the act is getting old.
In Europe, we long for the day when the US is out of the war game, because it is difficult to think when the toddler is constantly screaming.
Trump's "Ukraine Plan" always was, and will be, Ukrainian surrender. But it serves as a useful distraction.
Trump is a chaos agent whose key to his survival is constantly changing the narrative - Epstein, shutdown, Gaza, another US city invasion, Ukraine, insult a journalist, war with Venezuela, etc.
He can do this indefinitely. The rest of the world needs to realise America is a #PariahNation and move on.
I'm old enough to remember the SCOTUS saying Biden didn't have power to waive student debt, despite explicit legislation to do just that.
Yet Trump can mass fire civil servants, shut down Congressionally mandated bodies and send refugees to dangerous third countries without any due process.
Another "this is fine" moment in the burning ruins of America's former democracy.
