enough a fool or
coward will file but never
going to be me
“If no lawyer within earshot of the President is willing to give him that advice, then I expect you will eventually find someone who is enough of a fool, or enough of a coward, to file your motion. But it was never going to be me.”
From the resignation letter of Hagan Scotten, Assistant United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York.
The New York Times reports that “Mr. Scotten served three combat tours in Iraq as a U.S. Army Special Forces Officer and earned two Bronze Stars. He graduated from Harvard Law School and clerked for Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. of the U.S. Supreme Court, and for Brett M. Kavanaugh before he, too, became an Supreme Court justice.
A Southern District spokesman declined to comment on Mr. Scotten’s resignation.”
As Huck Finn said, “Right is right, and wrong is wrong, and a body ain’t got no business doing wrong when he ain’t ignorant and knows better.”
