[NYPOST] Prosecutors in soft-on-crime Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office are flooding the exits amid his "radical shift in policy," The Post has learned.Bragg’s controversial "Day One" memo issued on Jan. 3 told assistant district attorneys to not seek prison sentences for many criminals and to downgrade some felonies to misdemeanors. His leadership has already created a firestorm that has led to an online petition calling for him to be removed."I know one [ADA] who was with the office over 20 years who left without a job," said a law enforcement source. "They didn’t want to work in this kind of office. They wanted to continue prosecuting the law."
Over the past two weeks, at least a dozen lawyers have quit.
| Not all Democrats are his kind of Democrat even today, it appears. It’s like he’s the Kamala Harris of New York City. |
Illuzzi-Orbon, a Republican, had been at the office since 1988, taking only a brief leave in 2015 for an unsuccessful run for District Attorney in Staten Island.
| Technically not a Democrat then, making her survival in the job until now even more impressive. |
