The MSM hasn't made this a very big story for obvious reasons, but the Biden appointed Massachussetts AG recently resigned after a scathing report from the DOJ inspector general noting numerous serious ethical lapses and lying under oath about them. Quoted from the Politico link above,
“Ms. RollinsÂ’s conduct in leaking non‐public DOJ information [on multiple occasions she was found to have leaked non-public information to the media to smear political opponents] constitutes an extraordinary abuse of her authority and threatens to erode public confidence in the integrity of federal law enforcement actions,” Special Counsel Henry Kerner wrote as he delivered a 105-page report to President Joe Biden.
“We found Rollins’s conduct described throughout this report violated federal regulations, numerous DOJ policies, her Ethics Agreement, and applicable law, and fell far short of the standards of professionalism and judgment that the Department should expect of any employee, much less a U.S. Attorney,” Horowitz concluded in his 161-page compendium on allegations against Rollins.
--Despite this, the DOJ has declined to prosecute. Keep in mind this is the same DOJ that is under pressure from Democrats to prosecute Trump for much less serious infractions (legally at least. If you want to argue Trump's transgressions were more morally abhorrent, then be my guest). Is there an actual legitimate legal argument for not pressing charges in this case, or is it just a simple matter of a highly politicized DOJ deciding they are above the law and only prosecuting their political enemies and not their allies.
