Letter left on fired federal prosecutor’s office door warns Americans are less safe

On Friday, a main national security prosecutor seemed to accuse the leaders of the Ministry of Justice of “making American citizens less safe” in the midst of a series of layoffs, according to a letter to his colleagues obtained by a source which declared that the missive had been published on the door of the Office of the ousted prosecutor.

Michael Ben’ays, including three familiar sources with the confirmed situation at NBC News was dismissed Wednesday after a publication on the social networks of a writer aligned by Trump suggested that he was part of the “internal resistance” to the index of the former FBI director, James Comey, apparently wrote “What happened to this office and the Ministry of Justice in a few months.”

Ben’ary worked at the American lawyer’s office for the Virginia Oriental District. The letter indicates that the oath of his former colleagues to the Constitution remains their responsibility to defend.

“It is this oath that obliges you to follow the facts and the law wherever they lead, exempt from fear or favor, and without hindrance by political interference. In recent months, the political leadership of the department has violated these principles, compromising our national security and making American citizens less safe,” said the letter.

The letter awarded to Ben’ary also said that the “decisions of the Ministry of Justice to withdraw experienced career officials from the offices of American lawyers, FBI and other critical parts of the MJ SAPE The ability of our country to counter terrorist organizations, malignant national actors and countless others who seek to harm our country and its citizens.”

The letter awarded to Ben’ary said that he had been dismissed without reason, apparently “based on a little more than a single publication on social networks containing false information”, referring to a post X by Julie Kelly – a conservative commentator who previously pleaded for the defendants of January 6.

Kelly posted that “we can only assume” that Ben’ary, a veteran prosecutor who directed the national security unit of the office, “was a large part of the internal resistance” to indicate Comey.

Lindsey Halligan, the acting new American lawyer for the Virginia Oriental District, accused Comey of making a false declaration and obstruction to a Congress procedure as part of the testimony he made during a hearing of the Senate’s judicial committee on September 30, 2020. Comey denied any reprehensible act.

President Donald Trump had publicly urged the Attorney General Pam Bondi to continue Comey, who has remained in the president’s retirement since his first mandate.

Kelly responded to the letter awarded to Ben’ary on Friday, writing in part: “This letter simply reaffirms that New Us Atty for Edva Lindsey Halligan did the right step by dismissing him. Are we supposed to believe now, after having read the same partisan worn worker worn on the Trump Doj, that he was neutral in the controversy by the Comey intake in the office? “

NBC News previously reported that, according to three sources, Ben’ary did not work on the Comey affair.

Before her dismissal, Ben’ary was pursuing a case against Mohammad Sharifullah, a terrorist suspect confronted in the United States in connection with the bombing of the Kabul International Airport Abbey in 2021. This bombardment killed 13 American soldiers while the United States withdrew from Afghanistan.

“Although I have the greatest confidence in my co-advisor, my sudden withdrawal and apparently rebellious without a transition period will harm this case,” said the letter.

“This example highlights the most disturbing aspect of the current operations of the Ministry of Justice: management is more concerned with punishing the president’s perceived enemies than protecting our national security,” said the letter. “Justice for the Americans killed and injured by our enemies should not be subject to that someone from the Ministry of Justice will see in his flow on social networks that day.”

The Ministry of Justice and the American lawyer’s office for the Virginia Oriental District did not respond to requests for comments. Ben’ary could not be joined to comment.

Ben’ary’s dismissal is the last of a series of departures in the Virginia Oriental District.

Erik S. Siebert resigned last month as an American lawyer in the Virginie Oriental District after Trump said he wanted him to “come out”.

And Maya Song, another DoJ prosecutor, was also dismissed from this office last month, reported NBC News.

Ben’ary and Song served during the Biden administration under the former deputy general prosecutor Lisa Monaco, who led the first stadiums of federal investigations on Trump.
