Welcomed swamp cleaning, but can Berman be fired?
From wiki:
On June 19, 2020, Attorney General William Barr announced that Berman would step down from his post on July 3, with New Jersey U.S. Attorney Craig Carpenito serving as interim while the Senate considered Jay Clayton, the chairman of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, as his replacement.[5][6] Hours later, Berman stated that he had not resigned, and did not intend to resign, until “a presidentially appointed nominee is confirmed by the Senate.”[7] As Berman was appointed by the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York under 28 U.S.C. § 546(d) and is hence a judicially appointed acting official, it is unclear whether the Attorney General can remove Berman as U.S. Attorney without a Senate-confirmed successor.[8][9][10][11][12] When Trump and Barr sought to oust Berman, he was reportedly investigating Rudy Giuliani, a Trump associate.

Take away his security key card, confiscate his computer and disallow him from returning to his office... He’ll get the message.
Using their Article III appointment powers. It's in the penumbra of the Constitution. Judges are to judge, and they judged that Trump could not appoint a "qualified" US attorney so they appointed one for him. /sarc
The most EVIL administration in the history of this glorious republic by far. DOJ cannot put a ham sandwich on any of their heads? All they have left is baloney. King Kong Bundy could’ve delivered better justice...

NO justice, NO republic, NO civilization. Witness daily...the destruction of the republic. Children wake up from nightmares. Parents are waking up to nightmares.
The DC Divide & Control SUPERCRIMINAL MONOPOLISTS gave themselves multiple “Get Out of Jail FREE” cards in addition to multiple monies, foreign and domestic. The Eminem gangsters, Mattis & Milley, back them up. It’s complex that MiC.
It reminds me of a preacher that got fired. The preacher upon hearing he was fired told the Elders they did not have the authority to fire him. One wise Elder stood up and said, well, we may not have the authority to fire you but you are not getting paid and you cant preach here.
“Lawfare” is FUBARR.
As the article says, send in U.S. Marshals to escort him out Monday
Morning.
The method of appointment does not affect the right of a President to fire anyone whose position is one that serves at the pleasure of the President.
GET TOUGH, AG BARR!! DON’T LET THESE PUNKS KICK YOU AROUND!
Remember the controversy over who was to be the acting director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB). [ English v. Trump ]
Alternative methods of filling vacancies can be legislated for various positions to take care of instances where the President chooses not to or neglects to involve himself in filling a vacancy. But once a President gets involved, it is all up to him, back up provisions are no longer relevant.
and Justice Department solicitor general Noel Francisco, ....
Noel messed up the slam dunk DACA litigation.
President Trump needs to find and eject all the DOJ weasels before Durham takes the stage
Barr should accommodate him by starting the fight with U.S. Marshals showing up at his office door Monday morning and escorting him from the premises.

Exactly right. Do it before it becomes a cause celebre.
Swift action prevents things from festering.
Yep, “disconnect” and isolate him. Can’t do much when all forms of access are taken away.
AssPress is all over this in my online morning rag (lead story), of course portraying it as the corrupt president illicitly attempting to remove a noble prosecutor attempting to root out corruption in the Trump administration.
And if it does, fire somebody else. Thats what Obama did. Conservatives barely had time to get worked up about one outrage before he was on to the next one. After a few weeks - or even days - the previous one was forgotten.
Just turn them off. Simple. No access at all.
