Joseph diGenova confirmed to NBC, “it was an honor and a privilege to serve the president and the department.” He declined to elaborate on the reason he’s out. “I’m moving on,” diGenova said.
diGenova’s technical job description was “Counselor to the Attorney General.”
I would frame the matter in this context, ABC previously reported that Joseph diGenova abruptly quit the investigative taskforce following pressure from Main Justice to achieve actionable results and not endless process. In part because diGenova was aligned with the Special Government Employee John Solomon approach to investigative activity; which is to say, living a life inside the process as if the investigation itself was the ends, not the means.
From experience dealing with these folks, a Trumpian level of frustration is warranted. Remember, the generally accepted DC rule is that no investigative outcome that touches on political considerations will be released within 90-days of an election. diGenova was on a clock, the clock ran out, diGenova quit. It’s as simple as that. All very unfortunate.
[VIA ABC] – A Trump loyalist who had been tapped to oversee a sprawling and controversial DOJ conspiracy investigation targeting political foes of President Donald Trump abruptly resigned Thursday, sources familiar with the matter told ABC News.
Joe diGenova submitted his resignation to Attorney General Todd Blanche amid what sources described as growing frustrations from Trump and senior DOJ officials regarding his work on the so-called “grand conspiracy” investigation based out of the U.S. Attorney’s Office in the Southern District of Florida.
Sources said diGenova had pitched himself to the president as someone who could potentially ramp up the conspiracy investigation, which thus far has resulted in no criminal prosecutions despite dozens of subpoenas issued over the past year to various officials involved in past investigations of Trump.
DiGenova did not immediately respond to a request for comment from ABC News. A Justice Department spokesperson declined to comment.
The investigation, as detailed by Justice Department officials and other allies of the White House, purports to be examining intelligence officials and others who have investigated the president and his inner circle dating back from his 2016 campaign to the criminal probes he faced after leaving office in 2021.

Former Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard traced, tracked, declassified and funneled as much information as possible, as quickly as the mechanics of the system could be utilized. The rest is on the lawyers.
Next up, likely the podcast circuit.
First stop, Solomon then Bannon.
What a worthless POS.
diGenova is the fall guy POS. Never intended to be effective.
He is the guy they fire to pretend somebody is being held accountable for indictments that will never happen.
Protected class in the U.S. No equal protection. People with important power for the corrupt system to operate are the untouchable gangsters… “made men (and women too)”.
First the Bondo then the paint.
Are you starting to think Trump is in agreement? I am.
He was painstakingly preparing his case for 2030-and on target too.
Ditto….Harmeet
Ditto Jim Jordan and James Comer!
So, basically nobody is being arrested at least until 2028 if the Democrats win?
Nobody is arrested…period.
The first person arrested after 2028 will probably be Trump and the GOPrick RINOrats will be gleeful.
Which is why I have no idea why he started this Iran thing. Oil was $57 in February and trending down. He had Warsh confirmed to be Federal Reserve Chairman and inflation was dropping. Why would you ever consider giving the Democrats a chance to prosecute you again in 2028 like they did in 2024?
Maybe he was thinking about much bigger issues than his own hide.
Neither shocked nor surprised. The worthless, corrupt and non-functioning DOJ needs a great cleansing. NOTHING will happen to any of these criminals, including Brennan, Comey and Clapper. Perhaps diGenova saw that from the start.
So too with Bongino, fwiw.
To quote a great philosopher, “Can’t anybody here play this game?”
Or, what is it, you say, you do here?
Seven ways to sunday might work.
LBJ was the last president that could play the game.
Joe was a regular on Howie Carr’s show and he’s been at this a long time, he knows what is going on, of course, how dirty and corrupt it all is.
He’s pretty hot headed, I can imagine he was very frustrated- and who wouldn’t be- so close and yet so far away.
It is sad really how many people “know” what us really going on but don’t actually do anything about it.
We have a corruption problem Jim.
It makes things not run right..
DiGenova is simply afraid of vicious retribution from the Democrats in 2028. He knows that they control the courts, DOJ and the FBI. If he does nothing then he has nothing to fear from them.
This is true I’m sure.
They have no issues at all with crashing your plan and planning your suicide.
Now Joe can go back to talking a big game on Vannity.
Yup. Let not your heart be troubled…… F off Hannity. Such an ass… Sellout scumbags. All of them. Hope they all enjoy hell, God willing.
Horrible FOX News has not let DiGenova on for years and years.
GOTTA STAY on THE Invite List….
I never had any faith in him. He and his wife were all talk, just like Solomon.
Another gutless fraud bites the dust.
Yep, in the past few days Solomon is talking a big game about arrests of major figures are imminent, yada yada yada blah blah blah.
Don’t need no talk. Action Action Action
Not by Joe. And not by the DOJ that only arrests MAGA to influence elections.
Has anything Solomon predicted ever come true?
What put this guy on the map anyway?
More of the limited time we have WASTED!
Disgusting.
Run the clock out.
It is a huuuge case.
Possibly a grifter gonna find a new grift?
The deep state wins again.
And the Republic — for those who still believe we have one — looses again.
This proves again for me that we have a Potemkin Republic — an not anything resembling a real republic.
A mistake to appoint a swamp-creature to investigate the other swamp-creatures.
Speaking of Bannon, he had Ed Martin on War Room recently. They were busy stroking each others egos. Disgusting.
The only time I tune into the War Room these days is to catch the first 3 or 4 minutes that they usually show Joe & Mika who I couldn’t waste the time or energy watching on regular teevee. And it’s rare that I even bother with Steve Bannon. Have I told you to check out Birch Gold Group? SB hardly ever talks about THAT! Talk about a shameless plug…….
M ….when bannon first started to push gold it was $1100 now it is $4500. Wish I could have gotten on the deal would have been my local guy instead.
The show has really deteriorated in recent months. Its main purpose now seems to sell books.
Between the bookselling, “interviews with sponsors”, commercials, cold open (which I despise and will not watch), interviews with other RAV show hosts…there is almost no fresh content.
The evening hours are especially bad.
I agree….
What do we think about Navarro? He has been on Bannon lately.
and of course there’s Roger Stone…
Hate him.
Hate the other bootlickers on Bannon’s show. Julie Kelly and Mike Davis come to mind.
Bannon and all his regulars seem so sleezy to me now. Sleezy grifters.
Absolutely agree!
Navarro is selling a book.
Are the bots “offened” by my questions?
Feels like being stuck in an infomercial “Don’t order yet we’ll include a free public hanging’’ with your order
The infomercial is keeping you hooked so that you will buy a years supply.
Amen brother
Joe gave us Bill Barr. Enough said.
The govt makes organized crime look like kindergarten. Exponentially worse. $40T of debt is all fraud. Trillions at stake.
Yup!! You nailed it!! That is money that is in your face STOLEN from We The People!
Yep…I dont remember benefitting from any of it.
No accountability for the blatant criminality of the Biden administration is beyond maddening. Fire-breathing MAGA prosecutors were desperately needed to staff the Justice Department.
Instead, there has been a parade of weak and feckless frauds who are more intent on generating publicity and running out the statute of limitations than prosecuting criminals!
the number of people inside team Trump exactly like this guy are endless. Look at election integrity. FBI: nothing. DOJ: nothing. All of these other people like Dhillion: nothing. They just mosey-on to another hustle and produce nothing at each stop. In the meantime, the clock runs out on Trump II and any chances of actually accomplishing anything big. So disgusting.
Trump II was our last chance to save America. The game clock is not infinite. It has a very real 00:00 end point.
Saw Dhillon the other day. Her face was all MADE UP Different, and a New DO. WTF? Is this all about popularity? And how I look on TV?
My alarm bells went off when she did nothing for Kari Lake. Before that stint she did nothing either for Trump. But, she has a huge Fan Club that really fawn all over her. Not sure they live here tho.
Not the last chance, but the last chance until the next Reagan/Trump candidate in 25 years.
In my opinion, the 60’s were worse than what we have today. These things cycle.
There’s only so much damage that democrats can do within our current system that can’t be fixed later.
The thing is, if the democrats ever regain control, they will make sure that they never lose again. Nothing they do will ever be fixed.
Heck, it’s that way now.
If they all hang for it, maybe.
Things have to get a lot worse for less civilized solutions to become more socially acceptable.
THAT is what is different from the 60s….they are in the bureaucracy now. And dug in like ticks.
Completely disagree … because they are going to dismantle our current system. We’re falling into a communist authoritarian governmental situation, by hook or by crook.
You can vote yourself into communism but you have to shoot your way out of it. So many nations which have preceded us into this position do not have the 2nd Amendment, and we’re so well trained not to really use it. Congress is already burdened by individuals who literally admit to hating America, our Constitution, our Republic, our three branches of government design, our Supreme Court, our electoral college, and more.
The violence and the threats of violence are beyond what occurred in the sixties, though it was a shocking decade, with notable and public assassinations.
I see our current precipice as existential. The communists never stop, and if they don’t quite have enough support to take control this time around they will ensure that they do the next time; things will be vastly different in 25 years, because, due to mass psychosis, mass brainwashing, and extreme demographic flip, Americans won’t be American.
An implacable minority must hold the line.
A combination of grit and providence may yet win out and giving up is certainly not an option. Not in the classroom, the town square, internet boards, work places and everywhere else where a community exists.
There are things worth defending to the last, because the alternative is to deny God given human dignity.
Do these dumbasses in DC actually think they will be immune to what is going to happen or are they that out of the loop. Do they plan to live on an island? Any money they accumulate the communist will come after and they dont care how hoity toity these Senators think they are.
Ronald Reagan popularized the slogan “Make America Great Again.”
And he did the opposite of that on immigration, trade policy, and foreign aid.
What damage from the 60s was fixed later?
You are sadly mistaken . A whole lot can happen and they will make it that no Republican ever wins again. How you ask….illegals , the millions that remain will be able to vote. They will gain in the House and Senate by adding states….Puerto Rico….DC…Change the makeup of the SCOTUS.
Seems like the only things that get done are the disasters!
Does anyone really believe Tulsi went willingly?
I do. I also believe that she will return to take on another role.
Yes, I agree! We cannot see her emergence soon enough!!
I continue watching updates and it appears that her husband is doing remarkably well after his one in a million cancer diagnosis… but would she ever be allowed back? Probably not!
I think she went willingly. I do not think she will return in any capacity that takes time away from home.
When you live through what they are going through and you realize how close you came to losing what is really important in your life, priorities change. I think she and Abraham will spend as much time as possible together.
I think she did and unfortunately for us she did the right thing in staying close to her husband.
If Joe is such a patriot he could make his way to the stupid GOP convention and blow the place up with a rousing truth-telling speech.
I know right?
100% spot on
Having worked with people who live and work for and around the Federal Government, especially in DC, there is such a thing as “Analysis Paralysis” –
The analysis just never ends…
This is so true JannB.
I went to great efforts to attend a meeting at school, hired a babysitter, worked all day to get supper all done early..
We needed to talk about how we needed to talk about promoting a project we were working on.
We needed to get permission from the school as to how we were allowed to talk about the idea to promote it to the public.
So for two hours this board of morons talked about talking about it and nothing was said or decided.
Total waste of time and money for me and I wondered why I was bothering to fight the system.
YES, this was analysis paralysis looks like, they take great pride in how they develop it and carry it out to justify their own existence to the taxpayers.
so…in the end..once again…ZERO justice..at least they will one day stand before God….if the roles were reverses..the Dems would have had 100 people in prison in the first 90 days of taking office in Jan 2025!!..they play to win..we just play…
He’s not a young man. The deepness of the deep state is very dark.
Disappointing. I was a fan of Joe diGenova from back in 2017, when he was one of the few who knew how President Trump was being set up and framed by high-level conspirators within the Deep State, and he was willing to talk about it. I hope you are mistaken when you suggest that he has been slow-walking the investigations. Has there been any word from within them?
No one was more voluble about the merits of Bill Barr as AG than Joe DiGenova. After it was clear that Barr scotched all the investigations of fraud after the 2020 election and added fuel to the January 6 talking points about insurrection, Joe did not show any contrition about his support for Barr. In fact, he disappeared.
Men huddled together based on their connections, manipulate reality for some gain to their group… and then walk away.
So many bullshitters in and around government. No words to describe the frustration with these liars.
All mouth and no trousers, albeit short ones, or an inevitable victim of the sclerotic DOJ?
I forgot all about that guy. Sometimes it’s just best to… fewer frustrations.
“The rest is on the lawyers.”
In my experience (depending on the situation), lawyers move like molasses in wintertime to maximize billable hours.
Joe may quit. The Hand of God isn’t going to. Justice WILL come. Maybe not on this earth, in this life, but justice WILL come.
The DC crowd loves their idea of airtime more than their actual jobs to fulfill. Lazy posers.
Also mentioned in other news sources is that his wife Victoria Toensing also submitted her resignation .
The plot thickens?
Did he quit or was he fired?
Serious question:
Was diGenova seriously trying, thwarted, and is giving up?
Or was he a Psyop all along to deceive us into thinking anything was going to be done?
He, Victoria, and Solomon are all part of the psyop, imo. Tick tock club…..
I was expecting better from him.
A lot of us were.
Knew he was just a nutless grifter
Ever hear Joe give an interview on the FBI raid of Mar-a-Lago back in the day? He went on the radio circuit and hammered that Trump was in the wrong, FBI was in the right, everything was up and up and Trump needed to be worried.
I can’t for the life of me comprehend why people thought he was a good choice, he’s an idiot if you listen to him. Seriously, I challenge anybody to find a clip of him saying something relevant and intelligent. If you believe in rights/vs legislatively written law, he’s a solid idiot.
I have no pity for what happens to Trump after he leaves office if he continues along this course. His definition of “Friends” differs from mine. You could literally use this website and Sundance’s beautiful brain to condemn the entire FBI/Deepstate w/minimal effort.
Bananas, in 2 more years, we’re going to have to watch our country get torn apart all over again by the bat shit left and pretend it wasn’t preventable.
That is a slam dunk comment!
Washington DC (and especially the dee oh jay and see eye aye) are such cesspools of fecal matter. I don’t know of anyone who could manage to be involved and work there and not come out stinkin’ like kaka.
Maybe Mother Theresa herself, but then again……………
I suspect someone threatened his testicles. The thought of having a high-pitched voice during his few remaining years terrified him.
Wow! DOJ really can’t do much right. All talk no action was this guy. Shame this department continues to hamper the President. The President should move his desk to DOJ.
I’m embarrassed by how many of this type of leftover from Trump 1.0 are going down in flames by the truth in Trump 2.0. You are what you are, what you are.
Another one bites the dust.
Perhaps diGenova is going to go full Tucker Carlson!
😠👎🤦♀️
I thought I read here he was a good one?
I guess I don’t know enough to understand what happened.
Did he cave when it got too tough?
Unbelievable.🤬 What a lying, traitorous….
No evidence? Weren’t joe and Victoria all gung ho on this??? In this case Tucker can have them…
So was there any grand jury action or not? Who did DeGenova report to down there in Florida? What does that person have to say about al of this.
both he and his wife used to be total MAGA and extremely good at their jobs yrs ago
Anytime you choose anybody who has made their name they are part of deep state
This after Dan Bongino turned tail and whimpered home in spite of being given the job of his dreams — remember how he was going to do this, and how he was going to do that?
I wonder if they each found a bloody horse’s head in their bed.
It is beginning to look as if the Deep State is much more serious problem than I at least imagined. Also this bring to mind the Dominion Voting Machines Company, which has not been indicted by the DOJ in spite of the huge pile of evidence that Catherine Engelbrecht amassed and that Domine Voting declined to dispute.
Ten years of talk, promises, soon to be arrests, we’ve got it all, etc etc. Is anybody else way past believing the daily, monthly, yearly promises were just there to keep us on side.
Military is the only way.
