Yeah, right Chuckie Boy, you’re going to miss Preet Bharara. That’d be like Al-Qeada missing the Marines in Iraq.

He was fired? I thought he was close to wrapping up some criminal investigations on some big named Dems, no?

I must be missing something.

I hope Sessions would allow him to reapply or not be fired or something. He has shown he will go after Dems.

I was on the fence about this guy...

A Chuckie endorsement is a sure fire way to figure he needed to go....

...I must be missing something....

What you are missing is that the President asked for the resignations is all US Attorneys. He renewed employment of two thus far. Preet was insubordinate by refusing to submit his resignation. Who knows? Trump might have kept him if he weren’t such an ass.

Babs is looking for fat hauler to carry her carcass north. She may need a special hauling permit from the California DOT.

I just posted this on another thread here and i see no reason to change it so far.Even thought Chuck U. Shoomer is about the worst source anyone could ever use.
.....................

The Dinesh d Sousa prosecution was a terrible travesty of justice and should not have been done. Also, there were allegations that Baharara was weak on prosecuting the big banks guilty of playing fast and loose with thousands of mortgages of people who were under water.
Problem is I spent four hours finding those two issues.Both dark marks on an otherwise stellar career.

Truth is this guy prosecuted both sides of the aisle. I don’t think he should have been fired.

When you are after the likes of the worst mayor in the country de Blasio and you go after the Gov. of NY about as powerful as you can get and force him to squeal on some really big names,you have done a stellar job.

This guy,Baharara did just that.

If Trump had not allegedly told him he would stay several months ago it would be one thing but seems he did unless we hear other wise. This whole thing is not right.

I don't know how to post an image from Twitter, but this was what Dinesh D'Souza posted on his Twitter feed when the news of Bharara's firing hit the airwaves:

"If fired US attorney Preet Bharara is job-hunting I have an Indian friend who runs a motel & needs a clean, English-speaking desk clerk."

"Since Preet Bharara doesn't have a strong Indian accent he may be employable as one of those tech guys who helps you fix your computer."

D'Souza, if you remember, was the target of a ridiculous, politically motivated criminal prosecution by Bharara a few years back.

LMAO.

Trump has shown zero tolerance for insubordination. I like it !

It’s right when you are draining the swamp.

The Zero holdovers have proven they cannot be trusted.

Preet is an attention whore who has been a selective shark. Some he went after ruthlessly and others he allowed to skate.
