Must have dug up some serious shit on him.

Hope he lays low for 6 months until Jan and can get rehired to really twist the screws.

I know, wishful thinking.

Lev Parnas & Igor Fruman are under indictment in the SDNY, and Parnas has been singing like a bird. It would be a bad time for Rudy to be indicted, I figure.

Attorney (Berman) says he not resigning per latest on Brian Williams.

 

[UNCjigga]

Friday Night Massacre anyone???

Edit: Wow, this is nuts

If you’re working on any indictments Mr. Berman, hurry up and file them.

 

[K1052]

Attorney (Benjamen?) says he not resigning per latest on Brian Williams.

Odds he’s about to indict someone extremely close to the president near 95%.

‘I have not resigned’: SDNY US Attorney denies DOJ announcement he was ‘stepping down’


The U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York denied an announcement from Bill Barr’s Department of Justice that he was stepping down.

“I learned in a press release from the Attorney General tonight that I was ‘stepping down’ as United States Attorney. I have not resigned, and have no intention of resigning, my position, to which I was appointed by the Judges of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York,” Geoffrey Berman said in a statement.

“I will step down when a presidentially appointed nominee is confirmed by the Senate,” he explained.

Legal twitter consensus is that since he was court appointed Trump doesn’t have the power to replace him until the senate confirms someone.

Berman. Now Trump has fired him.

 

[K1052]

The collective sound of lawyers breaking out the bourbon and pouring themselves three fingers can be heard on Mars.

 

[brycejones]

I predict concern about being concerned by the actions of Barr or Trump from failed space fighter tv pilot concern trolls.

 

[Fenixgoon]

won't save him from New York State

It might. If he can put his cronies in charge and if he wins the election it will.

The stakes are that high.

OLC opinion is that Barr cannot fire him but Trump can. Since Trump will never be held accountable for obstruction of justice by this Senate, I think we know where this is headed.

Nadler is not amused and just invited Berman to testify at a previously-scheduled hearing on Wednesday.

He’s slipping past double digits. They’re Russians not sorcerers.

Take nothing for granted. Ever. I thought at one time reasonable people wouldn't vote for a clearly apparent racist conman. Here we are - and that core will vote for him or any that pick up that banner and carry it.

Yes, I just saw that dig up. Whatever he’s into is going to come out. Trumpology 101 is that the incredibly sloppy cover up inevitably reveals the crime.

Yeah, Republicans at state level will rig it however many points they need by shutting down voting sites in Democrat areas, with the blessing of our crooked Supreme Court.

Yep, gave barr the big fuck you.
Says he was picked by federal judges and not the orange menace, so he said he can stay until another nomination is confirmed.

 

[esquared]

I see that the orange menace purportedly fired him.
Since he didn't hire him or nominate him, can he still fire him?

Berman relents, leaves post as US attorney after taking stand against firing

Attorney General Bill Barr offered Berman other positions, but he declined.

abcnews.go.com

"Trump failed to nominate him or any other permanent replacement and, after 120 days, the district court appointed Berman to the job.
By law, Berman serves until the vacancy is filled.

"

Insane.
It is almost like your last chance of saving your democracy is hinging on Biden and that effort is being “fixed” in realtime public view as we speak too.
Grim times.

 

[HomerJS]

This asshole makes Nixon look like a choir boy. Wonder if Mitch will try to put just anyone in there to get Berman out? Trump has lapped all administrations multiple times as the most corrupt in history.

 

[cytg111]

Asha has a good summery of how fucked up Barr is (see whole thread)
