why?

 

[Anathema]

Excellent. Hopefully this gives the others an incentive to resign. It probably won't. So expect to see this becoming a common trend with the Trump administration.......

If you work fir the Government butwon't do as your told by your BETTERS; find yourself another job.

BREAKING: U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara has just been FIRED

Last year, Bharara said Trump had asked him to stay on in his position.

Preet Bharara, the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York, and one of the most high profile federal prosecutors in the country said he had been fired Saturday after refusing to resign his post.

“The president-elect asked, presumably because he’s a New Yorker and is aware of the great work that our office has done over the past seven years, asked to meet with me to discuss whether or not I’d be prepared to stay on as the United States attorney to do the work as we have done it, independently, without fear or favor for the last seven years,” Bharara said in November. “We had a good meeting. I said I would absolutely consider staying on. I agreed to stay on. I have already spoken to Senator Sessions, who is as you know is the nominee to be the attorney general. He also asked that I stay on, and so I expect that I will be continuing to work at the southern district.”

Though it is within his power to dismiss Bharara, doing so at this juncture contains political peril for Trump, to the extent that it suggests he’s immunizing himself from potential investigations. The Southern District of New York ― Bharara’s jurisdiction ― includes Trump Towers, the home and office of Trump and the headquarters of his presidential campaign.

Funny how Democrats conveniently forget about Slick Willy Clinton firing 93 Attorneys immediately after taking office. They completely lost it when Bush fired just 8 Attorneys. They're such disingenuous hypocrites. The reality is, all holdovers must go. Trump needs to follow Slick Willy's lead and dump em all. Period, end of story.

Wait, wasn't Bharara the one who was supposedly investigting the Clinton Foundation for sex trafficking?


I'm pretty sure I heard that here.

 

[miketx]

I think all the rest of the obamas should be fired also.

 

[Derelict_Drvr]

why?

Who cares?

Yes, clean house. Bill Clinton fired 93 Attorneys immediately after taking office. No Democrats complained one bit. Yet they completely freaked out when Bush fired just 8 Attorneys. Absolute dishonest hypocrites. So Trump shouldn't worry about what Democrats think. Just dump these hold-over Attorneys immediately.

Doesn't matter why. They work at the whim of the Admin, they have every right to get rid of the trash.

Meet The Prosecutor That Could Take Down The Clinton Foundation

Preet Bharara, dubbed ‘The Showman’ in The New Yorker for his penchant for theatrics and wisecracks, runs the U.S. Attorney’s office in the Southern District of New York and has racked up an impressive number of corruption convictions — from Wall Street bankers, hedge funds, and New York organized crime to prominent politicians.

The FBI has enlisted Bharara’s office (along with others) in part for his prosecutorial aggressiveness that career DOJ attorneys may lack.

It's well-within his authority to remove him, and others. All hold-overs should be removed immediately. And y'all didn't complain one bit when Slick Willy Clinton fired 93 Attorneys immediately after taking office. So whining about this just exposes you as disingenuous hypocrites...

Slick Willy doing it = 'Good'

Trump doing it = 'Bad'

I call BULLSHITE.

This guy was appointed by obama....he is an obama minion so he needed to be fired....anyone with ties to obama needs to be purged for the good of the country....

Well, we've all been patiently waiting. I was told he's quite the firebrand.
