Joe diGenova, the 81-year-old Trump loyalist who had headed a sprawling investigation in the Southern District of Florida that targeted President Donald Trump’s perceived political enemies, has resigned from the Justice Department.

Is this the jumping of the ship or was he a hero that didn't wear a cape?

Justice Department leadership felt the investigation was not moving quickly enough, even though diGenova was provided with a team of Justice Department lawyers from Washington, according to the source familiar with the determination, who said the hope is the probe can get back on track with those attorneys at the helm.

Could also be incompetence.

Sounds to me he was tasked with finding all the things that aren't there

Probably collected his fat paycheck until someone started getting upset he hadn't found anything

He's 81, that's a good explanation too

“It was an honor and a privilege to serve the president and the department,” diGenova said Thursday.

Asked why he is leaving, diGenova declined to comment.

“I’m moving on,” he said.

lol

Or lack thereof, given that, being a witch hunt, there was no evidence to find and any competent attorney would know better than to try to fabricate it.

Yeah, let's normalize people (especially politicians) retiring before they die of old age.

"moving on" = forced out because he couldn't 'find' anything on anyone.
