Attorney General Jeff Sessions requested the resignations of Obama holdovers in the Department of Justice.

Predictably, the Dishonest Media went crazy.

Liberals said there’s something bad behind this. They said Trump must be wanting to stop corruption investigations. They said this is an affront to everything everyone holds dear.

Here’s one example about Preet Bharara from CNN:

Preet Bharara is known for his fierce pursuit of insider trading and corruption cases. Now, he's out. https://t.co/8qDzYrg8qf pic.twitter.com/PQ90yOSz62

The problem is: Firing U.S. Attorneys is a normal thing.

It’s a normal thing to replace U.S. Attorneys. Every President does it.

Every one.

When Bush was criticized for firing some of them, the left praised Clinton for firing all of them. Somehow, Clinton’s total firing was considered better than Bush’s selective firing. Now Trump does as Clinton did and the left is “shocked” (That seems to be the talking point usage.). What absolute liars.

I’m annoyed that Sesssion didn’t fire them all but half. The other Half still with a job was appointed by Obama though

There is a thread here on FR about the University of Michigan and a course they're offering on how to fight "fake news". I wonder if this story on the "fake news" media going ballistic when Trump fires AG's but not when Clinton did it will be used as an example of "fake news".....

It sure should be!
