Question for Legal Beagles

Most DOJ Ausa's serve both democrat and republican presidents. They don't however compromise their ethics to do so.

They are ethically obligated to serve the president. If "their ethics" are compromised in serving the president, then they are ethically obligated to resign.

No jest. I was responding to the unintelligent comment made by @moke123.

They are ethically obligated to serve the constitution. They are not the presidents attorneys.

Persecution is very different from Prosecution. Trump is still being persecuted because "they" don't like anything he does and so they are always making stupid arguments the way they are for the "Maryland" father who is in actuality a gang member, a wife abuser, and a member of terrorist gang. If some random judge doesn't agree with one of Trump's opinions, they charge him with some made up crime. Persecuting is identifying a person and making up some crime he can be charged with.

Prosecuting is formally charging a suspect with an actual crime which has been committed and for which sufficient investigation has identified someone who probably committed the crime..

Persecution/Prosecution is not subjective. Persecution identifies the person (or class of people) you want to charge before you even know if a crime was committed. Prosecution is investigating a crime and finding a person who may have committed it and you are sure enough of the person's guilt to spend the people's money on a trial. Tish James based her ENTIRE campaign on "getting Trump" THAT is persecution.

Yes I think I agree on most of what you said, you quoted one word persecution from my post, which was about something totally different, it was about asylum

So, if the President has some concern that crimes are being committed and he asks the DOJ to look into it, you think that somehow violates the Constitution.

Once again, Not what I said.

Enlighten yourself.

Presidents Can’t Use the Justice Department as Their Personal Law Enforcement Agency

The new administration is eviscerating post-Watergate efforts to protect the DOJ from presidential overreach. The case of NYC Mayor Eric Adams illustrates the results.

Bondi’s “zealous advocacy” memo goes one step further, promising to punish attorneys who “deprive[ ] the President of the benefit of his lawyers” by declining to appear in court or sign briefs. This directive not only conflicts with civil service laws and legal ethics rules protecting government lawyers who refuse to sign off on improper or unethical arguments, but also misconstrues who department attorneys represent — the United States, not the president. Already, this week’s resignations have revealed the memo’s underlying ultimatum: comply with the president, or quit.

Too bad the Biden administration didn't know about this revelation.

Democrats are always eager to enforce the rule of law, the minute they are out of office.
