Veteran prosecutor Joe diGenova is no longer staying quiet about the sudden end of his five-month run leading the Justice Department’s investigation into whether federal officials conspired to target President Donald Trump.“Everybody was in their lane, and then some lanes got crossed, and then I decided to leave,” diGenova told NBC News’ Ryan Reilly on Friday.According to NBC News, diGenova acknowledged that a specific incident preceded his resignation but declined to explain what happened. He said the matter involved confidential administrative conduct within the department.As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, diGenova was tapped earlier this year to lead the Southern District of Florida investigation after career DOJ prosecutors and Deep State holdovers were caught slow-walking charges against corrupt Obama-era intelligence bosses like John Brennan.Former U.S. Attorney diGenova, alongside his wife and legal partner Victoria Toensing, has spent years exposing the illicit coup against President Donald Trump, famously calling out the likes of James Comey and John Brennan for orchestrating the greatest political crime in American history.On Thursday, diGenova had abruptly resigned after five months on the job.Hours later, diGenova pushed back on the New York Post reporting, where he allegedly said, “If you want indictments where there’s no evidence, you have an ethical problem.”He told AP his remarks were taken out of context and insisted there is “plenty of evidence in all of these cases to prove the theories of prosecution… It just takes time to get there, and some people want to get there a little faster than others — and you can’t do that.”Now he is blaming top officials at the Justice Department.Reilly said he spent 15 minutes on the phone with diGenova Friday morning. The veteran prosecutor acknowledged there was a specific event that sparked the resignation amid a clash with Main Justice.Asked whether he had sidelined anyone sent down from Washington, diGenova refused to answer.“As a courtesy to the Department — and let me underscore, as a courtesy to the Department — I am not going to discuss that.”He added: “The days leading up to my resignation are shrouded in the secrecy of administrative behavior, and they will remain so.”More from NBC News:He added that arguments between Justice Department headquarters — known as “Main Justice” — and U.S. attorneys’ offices “happen all the time about resources, the direction of an investigation, who to indict, when to indict.”“All of that stuff is normal fodder for the relationship between the U.S. Attorney’s Office and the department,” diGenova said. “Everybody was in their lane, and then some lanes got crossed, and then I decided to leave.”“I wasn’t asked to resign,” diGenova said. “I decided I was going to resign because having been a U.S. attorney, having been an assistant U.S. attorney, having been a special counsel of the United States, having been a counselor to an attorney general, I know when it’s time to leave.”His wife, 84-year-old Victoria Toensing, is also leaving the Justice Department, diGenova said. She had been part of a broader team that included several proponents of conspiracy theories about the 2020 election.Without getting into details on the prosecution’s theory, diGenova insisted that they would have been able to overcome statute of limitations hurdles.[…]DiGenova said his team didn’t have a SCIF — or Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility — which “is very, very important conducting a case with classified information,” but that they had been proceeding nonetheless.diGenova was emphatic that his group followed the rules.“I want to underscore that we were following the principles of federal prosecution all along the way, and we did that. We were moving smartly, and I underscore we were moving smartly, and then things, you know, got where they got.”He expressed full confidence in the Southern District of Florida prosecutors still on the case.The team “will succeed supremely” if “they are allowed to do their jobs,” he said. “The people in the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Florida who are running this case have done a phenomenal job under the worst of circumstances.”“I have no doubt that I was going to be able to take every one of these cases across the finish line because we had put them in the perfect posture to proceed.”“I have no doubt that I was going to be able to take every one of these cases across the finish line because we we had put them in the perfect posture to proceed,” Joe diGenova told me.— Ryan J. Reilly (@ryanjreilly) September 11, 2026diGenova praised FBI Director Kash Patel for strongly backing the investigation and called Brett Skiles, the special agent in charge of the FBI’s Miami Field Office, as “the finest SAC that I have ever dealt with in my years in the Justice Department.”“I wish everybody involved in the process had been as good as the FBI,” diGenova said.“I have no doubt that I was going to be able to take every one of these cases across the finish line because we had put them in the perfect posture to proceed,” diGenova said.It can be recalled that 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.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.The post Joe diGenova Reveals Why He Walked Away From the Spygate Probe: “Everybody Was in Their Lane, and Then Some Lanes Got Crossed” appeared first on The Gateway Pundit.
