Soros Linked ‘Progressive’ US Attorney Rachel Rollins Set to Resign in Shame After Watchdog DOJ Probe

Rachel Rollins, the progressive US Attorney for the District of Massachusetts, has resigned in disgrace ahead of the release of the DOJ’s monthslong ethics investigation.

Rollins, who was nominated by President Biden in 2021, was a controversial figure from the start. She is a vocal supporter of progressive criminal justice reform, and her policies have been criticized by law enforcement officials and conservatives.

In a statement issued by her attorney Michael Bromwich, he shared she was stepping down as “her presence has become a distraction.”

Rollins’ resignation is a major victory for law enforcement officials and conservatives, who have been critical of her progressive policies. It is also a setback for the Biden administration, which has been trying to promote progressive criminal justice reform.

AP reported in part:

The Justice Department’s watchdog has yet to release its report detailing the findings of its investigation, but an attorney for Rollins told The Associated Press that she will be submitting a letter of resignation to President Joe Biden by close of business Friday…

The resignation of a U.S. attorney amid ethics concerns is an exceedingly rare phenomenon and is especially notable for a Justice Department that under Attorney General Merrick Garland has sought to restore a sense of normalcy and good governance following the turbulent four years of the Trump administration.

Rollins was sworn in as Massachusetts’ top federal law enforcement officer in January 2022 after serving as the district attorney for Boston and surrounding communities.

Rollins was praised by progressives for her approach to law enforcement before she was elevated to the high-profile U.S. attorney job amid stiff Republican opposition. Vice President Kamala Harris twice had to cast a tie-breaking vote for her nomination to move forward...

The inspector general’s office scrutiny into Rollins began after she was photographed last July arriving at a home in Andover, Massachusetts, where the DNC fundraiser with Jill Biden was held. That was according to two people briefed on the investigation, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the probe.

The DOJ probe is a reminder that even the most powerful people are not above the law. We will see what the Inspector General releases.
