Again I’m in the camp of to move forward and let a nation heal and leave Trumpity Dumpity alone in January.

But hell no for this tub of lard. Investigated every single action Barr has done and hold him accountable.

we are here now explicitly because that is how Nixon was treated. That vile mistake can not be repeated. Trump needs to face the full arm of the the justice, and pretty much everyone in his family that is culpable, that has exploited US tax payers for their personal wealth, needs to face justice. There can be little doubt that if the Trump family is not punished for gross crimes against the US and its people, that it will only get worse down the line, especially with a GOP that has proven more than willing to coddle criminals for the last 5 or so decades.
 
LOL @ Trump denying he was involved in Berman's firing.

Trump, however, speaking to reporters shortly after Barr's letter was made public, said, "That's his department, not my department." He added: "I'm not involved."

Right after Barr's letter saying that Trump was going to fire Berman was made public.

This is truly odd. Fox just covered this in some detail and quotes Trump as saying he hasn't fired him, it's up to Barr.

I heard the Prosecutor is now waiting on a letter from Trump saying he’s fired
**trailer for a story I didn’t hear the coverage

For a guy who has made a reputation on firing people he continually does it like a fresh out of college manager. That means he does it poorly. Shit my first firing went poorly but I got better quickly.
 
More coverage from Politico.

I was surprised and quite disappointed by the press statement you released last night,” Barr wrote in Saturday’s letter. “As we discussed, I wanted the opportunity to choose a distinguished New York lawyer, Jay Clayton, to nominate as United States Attorney and was hoping for your cooperation to facilitate a smooth transition."

“Unfortunately, with your statement of last night, you have chosen public spectacle over public service,” Barr continued. “Because you have declared that you have no intention of resigning, I have asked the president to remove you as of today, and he has done so.”

Manhattan prosecutor relents after tense showdown with Barr

The U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York agreed to depart after hours of turmoil, confusion and mutual recriminations.

I guess Barr assumed Trump would follow through since it was obvious that it was Trump who requested Berman to be fired in the first place.

Not yet by a longshot. Remember this doesn't end with Barr nor Trump. There's a marked difference between one battle and a war. In the end justice will outlast Trump and his ilk when Trump's exemption from the rule of law ends at noon 1/20. The legal siege against Trump will make the Sichuan Massacre look like a Bar Mitzva.

Here let me correct that for you-- Trump will make the Sichuan Massacre look like a Barr Mitzva.

Geoffrey Berman, the US attorney refusing to step down

After Attorney General William Barr tried to oust him from that position late Friday, saying Berman was set to leave the office, Berman released a remarkable statement refusing to step down.
www.mercurynews.com www.mercurynews.com

Geoffrey Berman, the powerful US attorney for the Southern District of New York who has been thrust into the national spotlight for refusing to leave his post, has a long history at the prosecutors’ office in New York and held a position on President Donald Trump’s transition team before going on to investigate a number of Trump associates.

“I will step down when a presidentially appointed nominee is confirmed by the Senate,” Berman said. “Until then, our investigations will move forward without delay or interruption.”

You never cease to amaze......Berman is going no where!! Why? Because Trump did not appoint him and Barr has no say! Only the Judges who appointed Berman can intervene! Which they will not do!!
 
This still blows Barr's end around. Apparently, having to appoint the Deputy Attorney is not what they wanted. She sounds like another Berman.🙂
 
Berman struck a deal to step down and place the Deputy USA Audrey Strauss in change. She is independent and will follow through with the standing cases.

Trump is still fucked unless Mitch tries to get a stooge approved as the new USA. It will be tough for GOP Senators to approve because so many are up for election and will have to answer for this vote.

Susan Collins furrowing her brow again.

I'm afraid that the Berman stepped down per the AP. I wonder if Preet would take the job again under Not Trump?
