Why did Gilbert quit? 🤷 The rumor is that the White House told him to fire somebody and hire in their place Charlottesville's incompetent former commonwealth's attorney, Robert Tracci, and he refused. (Tracci is now the new acting AG.)
I say Tracci is incompetent because he fumbled the extremely easy perjury conviction of Jason Kessler, the United the Right organizer, with the oopsie of forgetting to prove that Kessler had perjured himself here in Albemarle County. And that's the dude who is our U.S. Attorney now.

Doesn't seem like it was a fumble if he's getting called back up.

Ugh. Probably should have seen it coming that Trump was going to ask him to do something awful, but I respect him for resigning over it.
