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.

First stop, Solomon then Bannon.
