Jessica D. Aber, who until recently served as the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia (EDVA), was found dead at her Alexandria home on Saturday morning. Alexandria Police confirmed responding to a call at approximately 9:18 a.m. on Beverley Drive, where officers located the 43-year-old former federal prosecutor.

Aber's death comes just two months after she resigned from her position as one of the few women to lead the prestigious U.S. attorney's office in Northern Virginia, a role to which she was nominated by former President Joe Biden in 2021.

The EDVA is considered one of the most significant federal prosecutor's offices in the country, overseeing cases related to national security, terrorism, and high-profile white-collar crime across a jurisdiction that includes numerous defense and intelligence agencies.

Aber served as U.S. Attorney from October 2021 until early 2025, when she stepped down to allow President Donald Trump to select a successor.

From LessAspin:

It never got a lot of attention, but Aber put a WHOLE LOT of child predators w/ties to law enforcement in prison.

Jessica Aber worked on a DOJ case that charged Russian military personnel with war crimes, a first-of-its-kind case.

Just saying.

[Marthe48]

1. did felon revoke her security detail too?

>sarcasm<

[Wonder Why]

2. Putrump is throwing people out of town windows in this country now.

[Joinfortmill]

3. Suicide? Something is off.

[Mike 03]

6. That was my guess when I read the first couple of paragraphs.

Death of despair?

We'll know soon enough.

[Delmette2.0]

44. I thought of Karen Silkwood.

Karen was an activist at a nuclear power plant in Oklahoma. She died in a car wreck on her way to meet with a journalist.

[LessAspin]

21. Suicide seems unlikely

Sounds like Jessica Aber had other interests and was ready to move on with her life outside of the DOJ..

More on Aber, who passed away overnight.

Featuring a quote from Joshua Stueve, who recently resigned bc Trump's DOJ sucks ass.

[BoRaGard]

52. She was taken out

That's my immediate take.

May facts and truth emerge.

[delisen]

4. Who is identifying these victims?

Are regimes in central and South America placing orders? Or are they being reported on by people in the US..

[BlueKota]

5. Sounds suspicious

[malaise]

7. Hmmmmmmmm!

That is all for now

[bdamomma]

30. Yes,

I wonder if they will cover-up the cause of her death. So young too. I wouldn't put it pass the regime that they had something to do with this.

[womanofthehills]

63. She might have been murdered because we haven't heard natural causes or suicide

She put lots of high profile people behind bars and someone wanted revenge - or she knew too much about something.

[Kid Berwyn]

8. She was one who would oppose MAGA treasons.

Can’t get more capable, legal wise, than EDVA to know the perps and what they do for Putin.

[H2O Man]

49. Right.

Knowing her background, ability, and values, I think we can say that the maga cult and Russian intelligence would view her as a dangerous enemy.

[LessAspin]

9. Jessica Aber also worked a case charging Russians with War Crimes

Jessica Aber seems to have made powerful enemies. While going after the worst of the worst..

It never got a lot of attention, but Aber put a WHOLE LOT of child predators w/ties to law enforcement in prison.

[LiberalArkie]

10. Thank you.. I had seen that last night but could not find it again this morning.

[barbtries]

12. you can make this an OP

and I hope you will.

[Irish_Dem]

51. She had detailed knowledge of top level dangerous criminals.

The list of suspects is long.

[Irish_Dem]

53. How many of these Russian criminals were directly tied to Trump and pals?

[barbtries]

11. am I the only one

whose first thought is are they starting to kill people?

[malaise]

13. No

That was my first thought

[barbtries]

14. i hopped over to BlueSky

and was entirely validated. The concern is real - we all know he wants to be putin, and we all know how putin deals with his adversaries. it literally made my stomach drop when I was the OP.

[malaise]

15. Actually he is way worse than Putin

He is King James shit complete with the divine rights part and his own bible to enforce it.
Ask the Puritans.

Add

[malaise]

48. I think they too are suspicious

[johnnyfins]

33. This up here '

'

[niyad]

16. No. That was my first thought, as well.

And sadly, my second one was that if that was the case, we will never know.

[orangecrush]

34. Nope

My first thought.

[Dave Bowman]

56. First thought also. :(

[KPN]

64. Nope.

And my next thought was she is an intentional example.

[Prairie Gates]

17. Remember when right wing assholes used to keep a supposed "Clinton Body Count"

Anyway...

[niyad]

24. Thank you. I was thinking of that myself. .and then the chimpy body count

from voxfux, one of my favourite websites during those dark days.Seeems almost quaint by comparison to the current horrors.

[CaptainTruth]

42. Trump's body count is past 300,000, just due to his Covid lies & incompetence.

[Bonx]

47. Yes. Let's not be like them.

CT is a dead end.

[Farmer-Rick]

18. So did pedo Trump have a hit out on her?

Did she "jump" from a window or have a strange fall? How exactly did Pedo Trump knock her off? Or did she commit suicide like Epstein did?

The mob is busy with all the orders the pedo is handing out. So many he wants killed ..so little time.

[rubbersole]

25. Ivana has some thoughts...

[live love laugh]

19. After Trump just met with Putin ....

[ancianita]

65. omg that's right -- two hours on the phone, where he probably got more marching orders.

[AverageOldGuy]

20. Read the linked articles

Articles in links at the bottom of the OP.

She prosecuted a LOT of . . . Russians.

Just saying’.

[momta]

22. Look for Novichok

And for Trump's DOJ to drop it like a hot potato

[BoRaGard]

23. more to come...

This is a STORY.

[bluestarone]

38. Yea, who is gonna investigate?

I trust nothing these creeps say or do.

[spooky3]

57. Alexandria police are investigating now. nt

[Abstractartist]

26. Fun huh

Fun to speculate (sarcasm) but let’s see if an autopsy or other information comes out before we go off on a tangent. Many of her family and friends may be members.

Ok so I am a Kennedy Liberal, so you can yell or jump on my shit…. I’m ok with it…..

[LiberalArkie]

27. Can't ever tell maybe the DOJ will declare that she accidentally fell on a fork while making cookies

Just can't go with stairs and windows these days. That's so old.

[niyad]

31. Not going to yell or jump on you. I wish I could share your optimism.

[orangecrush]

35. Welcome to DUuuuuuuuuu......

[StarryNite]

46. We shouldn't assume we will be told the truth.

[BoRaGard]

54. Prove your KennLib bona fides

How do you pronounce Harvard Yard?

[Abstractartist]

66. Ahhhh

Haaavad yaad.

My true way of showing my Kennedy liberalism is something I have somewhat to memory …..and in this time of our country’s turmoil, fear mongering and pure hatred….i do look and think of it often……it goes like this

“If by a "Liberal," they mean someone who looks ahead and not behind, someone who welcomes new ideas without rigid reactions, someone who cares about the welfare of the people - their health, their housing, their schools, their jobs, their civil rights, and their civil liberties - someone who believes that we can break through the stalemate and suspicions that grip us in our policies abroad, if that is what they mean by a "Liberal," then I'm proud to say that I'm a "Liberal."

Some say it wasn’t JFK, some say it was… I attribute it to JFK.

[Hornedfrog2000]

28. Yeah, they totally deserve the benefit of the doubt

I mean we should let the legal process play out. The wheels of justice grind slowly but surely. Mueller will getem! Mr smith is on the case! As they murder us, ignore laws, steal our retirement, brainwash our youth, etc.

Yup, lets just wait and see.

[slightlv]

59. Look, I get you. And under normal circumstances

Id agree with you. But these times aren't normal, and the more we hide in our ethics and virtues the more they get away with. Rrpugs automatically go there first and last. We need to start thinking... If not acting.. Like them. r we're well and truly screwed. Wanna know the truth here? Make noise and make them deny it. Trump is too close to putin for a person this Young to suddenly drop dead. JMO... Yours varies, obviously. I'm not going to sit around and wake for the kick at the be mine or friends.

[Aviation Pro]

29. I hope Merrick the Meek pays his respects

If anyone can find the pencil necked no show.

[Duppers]

55. +100

[hadEnuf]

32. The Trump government is openly ignoring the law

and Trump actually believes he is The King. He also has many, many followers that would be more than happy to do wet work for him.

We delude ourselves at our own peril.

[Ilsa]

36. Could she actually be in WitSec?

Maybe the threats became so real that some friends in the federal marshall's service helped her escape with new ID.

[LiberalArkie]

37. Pam Bondi could probably help with that.

[Ilsa]

39. Oh dear, not her! nt

[Swede]

40. U.S. District Judge M. Hannah Lauck, "My clerk family has lost its rock, and I have lost a friend.

U.S. District Judge M. Hannah Lauck, whom Ms. Aber clerked for and described as a mentor. “My clerk family has lost its rock, and I have lost a friend. She was a gold soul and I am proud to have known her.”

[orangecrush]

41. FSB

Can operate with impunity now.

[diehardblue]

43. The right immediately tried to say it was Biden trying to hide something. Their lying

machine is in overdrive.

[AntiFascist]

50. Odd how other media isn't covering this much, are they afraid? n/t

[0rganism]

45. By any chance, did she fall out a window? Drink some special tea?

Message received, whether or not it was sent intentionally.

[doc03]

58. Trump pardoned 1500 terrorists. nt

[Cha]

60. How awful & sad... I hope we do find

out the Truth about what happened to Jessica D Aber .

[Mountainguy]

61. Police saying

The believe she died from an episode related to a known longstanding medical condition.


But I'm sure that won't stop the conspiracies.

[onenote]

62. It won't stop them here I'm afraid
