“DOJ tries to oust US attorney investigating Trump allies”

He was appointed by the trump admin as acting US Attorney. For 120 days. He was then appointed by a judge after the libs blocked and appointment. The trump admin now wants to apppont their person

 

To show how corrupt Barr and the Republicans have become....

“With tenacity and savvy, Geoff has done an excellent job leading one of our nation’s most significant U.S. Attorney’s Offices,” Barr said late Friday night, adding that the prosecutor had achieved “many successes on consequential civil and criminal matters.”

 

The purpose of this action is blatantly obvious. The administration though they had their own man in this important spot o hold back investigations into the Trump Cartel until they could get a permanent appointee confirmed. They realized this effort had backfired on them, that investigations were not being delayed or derailed. It is as as simple as that, a purely self serving attempt at Obstruction of Justice.

That Friday night Berman showed some strength, but then he folded on Saturday. Only the President could fire him and Trump publicly denied responsibility.

So it's a mess and exactly what Trump wanted to avoid. Which is a whole lot of media attention on yet another middle of the night attack on justice in the hope of protecting Trump, just as he is trying to stage a huge campaign weekend of massive crowds chanting his name.

I'd of preferred Berman hold out until Monday, force Trump to get his hands dirty publicly and openly.

Oh well.

 

3 interesting things to watch.

1. Berman "folder" because they agreed to leave his deputy in temporary charge. We'll see how long that lasts (probably no longer than it takes for me to post this)

2. Does this totally free up Berman to appear in front on Nadler on Wednesday, as invited? Obviously, he won't talk about active cases (Rudy, the Sputnik Goons, Turkey Banks), but he can certainly testify to these circumstances, reasons (or lack thereof) given for his removal, and his beliefs on the judicial integrity (or lack thereof) of the men who fired him.

3. Will Lil Lindsey follow through on his statement to give the 2 NY Senators some sort of loose veto power over Berman's replacement. Because THAT won't end well...

 

JFC.

Have a nice day

 

He’s not

 

And TRUMP fired him

 

Trump did not fire Barr

 

Ahhh
"it’s critical that the attorney general and the department have a relationship with the U.S. attorney that’s marked by good rapport" What are you talking about the US Attorney was not investigating the Attorney General and yes he should have a good repore with that AG and be able to work under his direction he WORKS FOR the AG. They serve at THEIR PLEASURE.

They run their offices under the direction of the AG and serve at the pleasure of the President.

You can wax poetic all you want about the rule of law, and how they should “lock her up”, but we understand your hypocrisy now. We literally have the Trump administration investigating themselves, selectively releasing politically expedient information, and then they fire anyone who gets close to them, and you and yours don't blink an eye, and actually support what’s going on. Nixon only got caught because he did his all at once, Trump learned from that and is doing it over time, but lets be clear here, they both did the very same thing[/QUOTE]
I don't wax poetic you do, I cite the law and the constitution. Nixon had no authority to fire a special prosecutor not a US Attorney, learn the difference.

No

 

This is how folks like @Bluesguy says it works. Only the DOJ can investigate the president, which of course a criminal president would never allow. It’s idiotic and dangerous.

No[/QUOTE]
Who appointed Nixon’s special prosecutor? Who had the power to fire him?

 

Trumps not being investigated

Cox and Richardson appointed hum

 

Cox and Richardson appointed hum[/QUOTE]
And they worked for who?

 

Thank you for helping disprove the existence of the "Deep State."

 

Barr fired the DOJ attorney protecting Soros... That should be the real title of this thread.

 

And they worked for who?[/QUOTE]
Richardson for the president. Cox was an independent special prosecutor

 

Very little left after obamagate gang was exposed but having a hard time onnecting the dot between your post and mine

 

Well he is by the state of NY, and

Richardson for the president. Cox was an independent special prosecutor[/QUOTE]
Cox was appointed by the AG. Are you saying it was illegal to fire him? And who would be pursuing those charges? An AG who just fired him? Lol

 

Why did trump appoint a Soros protector?

Who’s employed by the state of NY?

Richardson didn’t fire Cox. Cox was also a special prosecutor, not a regular US Attorney, they have extra protection and must be fired for cause

 

Being obtuse is the only way you can debate this isnt it

 

I’m not I’m stating an obvious fact

 

Oh FFS.

Hers how we ALL know that what they did was wrong. The only way for the right to debate this is to make it something its not, or to be obtuse. You're doing both

You conveniently leave out the part where he was investigating Giuliani, who has been working for Trump for a long time now. TRUMP FIRED him, NOT Barr. And the fact that he had to be fired quickly, and not wait until a new person could be confirmed shows that he was getting close on something and they had to get him out quickly. Hell, Stevie Wonder can see that

You mean the person they were investigating. Get that part straight

No, your being beyond obtuse because you cant debate what I posted. I said they are basically doing the same thing. But you knew that......

 

They weren't investigating Barr, he reports to Barr.

""it’s critical that the attorney general and the department have a relationship with the U.S. attorney that’s marked by good rapport" "

US Attorney's serve at the pleasure of the President and AG, not Chuckie Schumer.
