The lead federal prosecutor on the James Comey seashell case resigned in protest, submitting a one-sentence resignation letter stating it was "to uphold my oath to the Constitution and the country". This departure happened just minutes after the former FBI director was indicted.

Boom. Mahalo, Swedde

Why would a prosecutor go to a grand jury, make the case, then immediately resign after the indictment? I think these are two different lawyers.
