=======================================

Why Bondi? Why is my wrath not limited to Emil Bove, the acting
assistant attorney general? After all, it was Bove (apparently rhymes
with "no way") who wrote the instantly infamous memo ordering Danielle
Sassoon, the acting U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New
York, to dismiss all charges against New York Mayor Eric Adams "as
soon as is practicable." (Sassoon quit instead.)

True enough, Bove's Bond-villain name and his broodingly pharaonic
countenance help finger him as an easy bad guy. But read the damn
memo. Here's how it starts: "You [Sassoon] are directed, as authorized
by the Attorney General, to dismiss the pending charges in United
States vs. Adams."

As authorized by the attorney general. There it is. The top law
enforcement officer of the United States, five days on the job,
ordered that corruption charges, painstakingly assembled over a
multiyear period by prosecutors in New York's Southern District, be
dismissed.
