Breaking: AG Jeff Sessions Asks All Remaining 46 U.S. Attorney's From Last Adminstration To Resign

[Lewdog]

You don't always get unemployment for quitting your job.

Rarely do they deny you UB, you haven't employed too many people...

It would be up to the state to decide.

Yes and when your employer ask you to resign (unless it for insubordination), they will always issue you UB, the state will decide whether they charge the employer or not, in this situation the employer will be charged...

I was a district Manager for a Fortune 500 company. Why would anyone take the chance NOT to get approved by tendering their resignation, when you could make them fire you with no proper reason and be guaranteed it? Again, having that firing on your resume wouldn't hurt you, because you would have a valid reason to tell your next employer... and in fact it might look good to them that you have the fortitude to stand up for yourself and MAKE them fire you.

I was in error regarding UI benefits; appointees DO get benefits so long as they don't quit before being asked to resign.

It's elected officials who are generally not eligible if they are not re-elected or decline to run for re-election.

My apologies for the error.

The rules of private employment don't apply to federal political appointees. Not resigning is not an option for USAs - they SERVE AT THE PLEASURE OF THE PRESIDENT. By law. Period.

Anything to distract away from Sessions busting himself in a lie...

Holder did the same thing in 2009. It's become fairly typical when the opposition party assumes the throne.

Not surprising. Wouldn't be necessary if they weren't partisan and followed the law

Well, that clears up a lot... you basically have no choice in anything when taking that kind of job. No wonder the government doesn't always seem to get the best of the best in their fields of work...they work for private companies instead.

I would strongly disagree with you on that statement; USA is a very prestigious position within the legal profession - being named to such a position is usually a feather in the cap of the very fine attorneys who get the nod. The credential of serving as a USA usually translates to excellent salary potential at biglaw firms as partner or of counsel following resignation at the request of the President - unless the former USA is of age to seek retirement from practice altogether.

What you suggest is nonsensical when it comes to the whole world of political appointees. Everyone takes the jobs knowing they'll be unemployed when their boss becomes unemployed - but that doesn't mean it's not worth it to serve as a cabinet secretary or ambassador or USA, etc. Most of these people believe very strongly in public service over personal gain.

The purging of Obama's U.S. Attorneys will have net positive effects, like cops no longer fearing federal indictments for doing their jobs.

. . . or fearing indictments for not doing it the way the feds want.

Trump & Sessions DRAINED. THE. SWAMP.


and poor Jake lost his mind...

They have drained nothing until all congress and senate is voted out

No, if you look at your top private attorneys, most didn't work for the government. Those that do work for the government do so because they have political aspirations, not to keep on practicing law.

This isn't just true about attorneys, look at other professions as well, like computer programmers and hackers. If you do find good ones working for the government, it is for a private company that are working for the government as a contractor.

All? Or just the ones you don't like?

The real D.C. swamp is located on K Street - the heart of the lobbying industry that has completely corrupted the congressional process over the past 3 decades.

If y'all really believe in draining the swamp, you should be demanding that Trump get behind the 28th Amendment movement to overturn Citizens United and reform money in politics.

Yet another thread at USMB wherein the abysmal lack of civics knowledge of posters is on display.

Every new administration receives resignations from ALL the US Attorneys - and when there is a change of party, those resignations are typically accepted. US Attorneys are political appointees who serve at the pleasure of the President - and not generally entitled to unemployment benefits, etc.

In most normal transitions, the USAs stay in place until the new administration has named their replacements - to ensure continuity of service to The People.

In this fucked up administration, they were asked to resign and vacate their offices on the same day. It was entirely unnecessary and incredibly unprofessional - nothing for you all to be crowing about, it's actually another sign of the disarray and incompetence of Trump and his crew. But he does this stuff because he's playing his fools - like those of you in this thread all gleeful as though this means anything. It doesn't.

ATTORNEY GENERAL SEEKS RESIGNATIONS FROM PROSECUTORS
By DAVID JOHNSTON,
Published: March 24, 1993

WASHINGTON, March 23— Attorney General Janet Reno today demanded the prompt resignation of all United States Attorneys, leading the Federal prosecutor in the District of Columbia to suggest that the order could be tied to his long-running investigation of Representative Dan Rostenkowski, a crucial ally of President Clinton.

Jay B. Stephens, the United States Attorney for the District of Columbia, who is a Bush Administration holdover, said he had advised the Justice Department that he was within 30 days of making a "critical decision" in the Rostenkowski case when Ms. Reno directed him and other United States Attorneys to submit their resignations, effective in a matter of days.

While prosecutors are routinely replaced after a change in Administration, Ms. Reno's order accelerated what had been expected to be a leisurely changeover. Says He Won't Resist

LOL!

Using the quote function properly is a challenge for you, huh?

She was criticized for that move, just as GWB was criticized for his dismissal of several USAs out of the general protocol of how it's done.

Your example does nothing to improve on the unprofessional nature of what happened today.


I see others here continue to argue about whether the USAs should resign as asked - evidencing the unwillingness of many here to learn the basics of how their own government works.

No wonder we have a moron in the White House.

For the most part, they don't WANT to be private/corporate attorneys - they live & breathe the criminal justice system. It's not something that can be compared to the Fortune 500 world and it is absolutely inaccurate to assert that those folks aren't some of the best in their profession.

I'm not trying to talk down to you about this, but you didn't find guys like F. Lee Bailey, Bob Kardashian, and Alan Dershowitz. Sure Dershowitz served as a clerk for some U.S. judges, but he wasn't a lawyer doing it. These are just a couple old big names. There are many others like them. Of course it really depends on if you want to be a defense lawyer or a prosecutor. But as I said, many lawyers that do work for the government have political aspirations...

I'd make them fire me... and then collect unemployment because they don't have a valid reason for termination.

He asked for their resignation, you obviously have very little understanding of how unemployment works, no surprise...

Liberals do not belong in management...

He asked for it... that doesn't mean they have to tender it. If they don't tender it, then what?

If they are presidential appointees, the president can simply remove them.
