diGenova just told me by phone when I asked about his abrupt exit:

“If you want indictments where there’s no evidence, you have an ethical problem” https://t.co/rxb9GRCQdn
Right wing legal fixture Joseph diGenova just quit his role as lead prosecutor for the Trump revenge tour.
I do not think that this was a matter of conscience, nor was it a matter of legal ethics.
diGenova has neither of these.
Instead, I think that he realized that if he continued down this route, his law license would suffer the same fate as John Eastman.
A loyalist prosecutor handpicked by the Justice Department to lead a contentious conspiracy investigation into several of President Trump’s political opponents abruptly quit his job on Thursday after facing pressure from his superiors in Washington, according to three people familiar with the matter.
The prosecutor, Joseph diGenova, had been in charge of what Mr. Trump’s allies have often referred to as the “grand conspiracy,” a sprawling inquiry based in the U.S. attorney’s office in South Florida that has sought to implicate federal officials who have investigated Mr. Trump in a single plot to deprive him of his rights.
Mr. diGenova’s resignation was the latest setback in the case that began last year and has dragged on for months. Even though members of his team have issued numerous grand jury subpoenas to federal law enforcement and intelligence officials who have sought over the past decade to hold Mr. Trump accountable in a series of criminal inquiries, Mr. diGenova had yet to obtain an indictment.
………
Sometimes, as in the case of Mr. diGenova, the prosecutors themselves have effectively reminded him that it is no simple matter to file indictments against people without real evidence or viable legal reasoning.
