.ByronYork's Daily Memo: A corrupt 'progressive reformer' goes down in flames
A CORRUPT 'PROGRESSIVE REFORMER' GOES DOWN IN FLAMES. Back in 2021, President Joe Biden fought hard to win Senate confirmation for Rachael Rollins to become the U.S. attorney in Massachusetts. Rollins was the district attorney of Suffolk County, which includes Boston, and she had become notorious by pledging not to prosecute many crimes.
Rollins's definition of justice seemed more in line with liberal politics than with justice. Indeed, a page on the Suffolk County District Attorney's Office website was headlined,"Meet Rachael Rollins, Suffolk County's Progressive Reformer District Attorney." "Republicans have allowed President Biden's other 15 U.S. attorney nominees across the country to go through committee with a simple voice vote," Cotton noted in a floor speech in December 2021."We rarely have record votes on U.S. attorneys in the Senate. In fact, I think it's been 28 years. It's also true that Rachael Rollins is so radical that she is without precedent as a nominee to be U.S. attorney.
Rollins wanted to influence the election for who would succeed her as district attorney in Suffolk County. The Democratic primary for the job — the winner would run unopposed in the general election — featured two candidates, Ricardo Arroyo and Rollins's interim successor, Kevin Hayden. Rollins supported Arroyo.
Finally, they came up with a plan in which Rollins would go to the home where the fundraiser was being held and meet Biden outside before the event began. That way, Rollins could say she did not attend the fundraiser. A legal counsel advised Rollins not to go inside and not to"provide remarks of any kind, or discuss policy or legislation on July 14." The bottom line, the adviser said, was that Rollins would be allowed"to meet the first lady and then leave.
