President Trump is withdrawing his nomination for former U.S. attorney for D.C. Jessie Liu to serve as the Treasury Department's undersecretary for terrorism and financial crimes, a top position overseeing economic sanctions, according to two sources with direct knowledge.
The big picture: Liu was confirmed in September 2017 to lead the largest U.S. attorney's office in the country, overseeing a number of politically charged prosecutions that included the case against Trump associates Roger Stone, Michael Flynn, Paul Manafort and other spinoffs from the Mueller investigation.

Liu...Chinese, eh?
They were probably given the option to resign, or be fired. If they violated DOJ guidelines, they could have been told to resign or face departmental charges, and lose their jobs anyway.

She’s had her claws into General Flynn, too.
From Link:
O’Connor asked Powell who at the Justice Department was allowing the persecution of Flynn to continue.
“Well, specifically, it’s happening under Jessie Liu, the United States attorney for the District of Columbia,” Powell answered. “It’s her office that is supposedly supervising this conduct.”

I had given up when she was promoted.
Now I “trust the plan” as some might say
How about Nielsen on an infrastructure board?!?
I’m betting there was no communication between Barr and Trump.
Simply a matter of likemindedness.
From what I have read, only one has actually left the DOJ. The other three resigned from the case but still work at the DOJ.
I have no doubt they resigned with their tails between their legs.
In March 2019, President Donald Trump said he would nominate Liu to become United States Associate Attorney General, but she withdrew her name from consideration later that month because the Republican-controlled Senate Judiciary Committee objected to her nomination.[7][8][9]
On December 10, 2019, President Trump announced his intent to nominate Liu as Under Secretary for Terrorism and Financial Crimes at the Department of the Treasury.[10] The nomination was submitted to the U.S. Senate on January 6, 2020.[11]On February 11, 2020, President Trump withdrew her nomination.
So is Trump going to renominate her for United States Associate Attorney General ?
Saw it . Great segment .
Never mind - she’s a swamp rat - why did he nominate her in the first place ?
That must have been sweet!
At this rate, even Scaramucci might return on some weird panel.
Hope you’re right - clean house
Yuck!
