UPDATE: Joe diGenova Clarifies His “No Evidence” Statement — Says His Comments Were “Taken Out of Context”

UPDATE: Former U.S. Attorney Joe diGenova is pushing back after comments he made following his abrupt departure from the Justice Department’s sweeping investigation into the government’s years-long targeting of President Trump sparked controversy.
The Gateway Pundit reported this afternoon that diGenova had abruptly resigned after just five months on the job. Cristina Laila’s breaking piece noted the move came after the Justice Department had already removed career Miami prosecutor Maria Medetis earlier this year for “stonewalling and slow-walking charges against John Brennan.”
Hours after submitting his resignation letter Thursday as counselor to Attorney General Todd Blanche, the man tapped to run the sprawling “grand conspiracy” / Spygate probe out of South Florida, diGenova got on the phone with New York Post D.C. bureau chief Josh Christenson.
The former U.S. attorney and longtime Trump ally reportedly stepped down after losing support from senior Justice Department and White House officials who had grown frustrated with the pace of the investigation.
But diGenova allegedly fired back at suggestions that he had been “slow-rolling” potential indictments or losing focus.
According to The New York Post:
“Sources said diGenova had lost support from Department of Justice leaders and the White House amid his “grand conspiracy” investigation, with one source suggesting that the 81-year-old prosecutor and former Trump defense lawyer was “slow-rolling” indictments and getting lost down “rabbit holes.”
[…]
“Another source added that the diGenova had been sharing “unrealistic expectations” for the probe with the president about what was possible and not possible, leading to a confrontation with Attorney General Todd Blanche.
New York Post reporter Josh Christenson wrote that when he questioned diGenova about the abrupt departure, the veteran prosecutor responded with a brutal warning:
“If you want indictments where there’s no evidence, you have an ethical problem.”
