NEW: briefing in U.S. v. Naviwala (the case that represents the challenges to the triumvirate/executive board of the #NJUSAO - still Fontecchio, Fox & Lamparello w Blanche in signatory block) is almost concluded.
Defendants’ brief is a response to questions the Court raised during 1/23 hearing. 👇🏼
I almost forgot:
The Third Circuit *DENIED* the DOJ’s petition for rehearing en banc in U.S. v. Giraud - meaning, it’s REALLY over for Alina Habba @ #NJUSAO! Yes!
Notes:
Critical Judge Bibas denied 👍🏻
Emil Bove didn’t participate
Newcomer & idiot Jennifer Mascott will have more to say 😐🥱🙄

“White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles was also cc’ed on the letter.”
Senators, I think you meant “Susie Trump.” 🤣🤣🤣

Initial thoughts:
- I wonder what route Bondi will take to appeal;
- who’s replacing Habba;
- the 2nd paragraph is a mess;
- is Bondi’s new appointment of Habba as “senior advisor” meant to be their latest workaround;
- noteworthy she resigned (contrast w Halligan, for example).

Post Alina Habba ® @AlinaHabba X.com STATEMENT FROM ALINA HABBA, ACTING U.S. ATTORNEY AND SPECIAL ATTORNEY TO THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY GENERAL For the past five years, I've fought for justice on behalf of the American people, and in my tenure under our great Attorney General Pam Bondi and Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, we made New Jersey safer. Camden had its first murder-free summer in 50 years. We drove down crime, took violent offenders off the streets, caught terrorists, and put away child predators. While I was focused on delivering real results, judges in my state took advantage of a flawed blue slip tradition and became weapons for the politicized left. For months, these judges stopped conducting trials and entering sentences, leaving violent criminals on the streets. They joined New Jersey senators, who care more about fighting President Trump than the well being of residents which they serve. For four years, I fought against lawfare aimed at President Trump and against politics infecting our justice system. What these obstructionists misunderstood is that my loyalty is not to politics, a title, or a ZIP code. It is to this great country. As a result of the Third Circuit's ruling, and to protect the stability and integrity of the office which I love, I have decided to step down in my role as the U.S. Attorney for the District of New Jersey. But do not mistake compliance for surrender. This decision will not weaken the Justice Department and it will not weaken me. My fight will now stretch across the country. As we wait for further review of the courts ruling, I will continue to serve the Department of Justice as the Senior Advisor to the Attorney General for U.S. Attorneys. Make no mistake, you can take the girl out of New Jersey, but you cannot take New Jersey out of the girl. -DECEMBER 8, 2025- 1:46 PM • 12/8/25 • 469K Views
