Massachusetts US attorney resigns day before DOJ ethics investigation ends
Massachusetts U.S. Attorney Rachael Rollins announced she would resign from her position the day before the Justice Department released a report from a monthslong ethics investigation detailing multiple violations.
Michael Bromwich, Rollins's attorney, said on Tuesday that Rollins plans to submit a letter of resignation to President Joe Biden on Friday. Bromwich said Rollins would make herself available to answer questions "after the dust settles and she resigns," according to the Associated Press.

Justice Dept. watchdog probing Mass. US attorney
The Justice Department’s inspector general has opened an investigation of the top federal prosecutor in Massachusetts, prompted by U.S. Attorney Rachel Rollins’ appearance at a political fundraiser featuring first lady Jill Biden, The Associated Press has learned.
An investigation by the department’s internal watchdog targeting one of the nation’s 93 U.S. attorneys — political appointees who are some of the highest-ranking federal law enforcement officials — is highly unusual. The ethics concerns surrounding Rollins threaten to undermine Attorney General Merrick Garland’s efforts to restore the Justice Department’s reputation for political independence after tumultuous years under Republican President Donald Trump.
The inspector general’s office is focusing on Rollins’ attendance at the Democratic National Committee event in July as well as her use of her personal cellphone to conduct official business, according to two people briefed on the investigation, which has been underway for weeks.
Of course, us proles will never learn the findings but they have to be pretty strong for her to ditch such a cushy and powerful job. Rolling up the deep-state one bad actor at a time...
