“attemted firing”?
Sounds to me like it was a firing.
Makes me feel stupid.
Trump ca always put in an “acting” attorney, right?
Poor disgusting Linda is having another queer temper tantrum. GAAWD I wish he would just go away!!
I have used L’oreal all my life, I’M DONE, this loyal customer is GONE.
LOL
I’m a little late to the party, eh?
Wouldn’t Trump have discussed this with Graham before the firing? So either he didn’t discuss, or Trump went ahead with the firing without Graham’s “approval” & has a workaround.
Me too!
If President Donald Trump does terminate Berman, Sandick said Berman would probably have to leave the physical space of the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Manhattan. But Berman’s legal options could include seeking a writ of mandamus or a declaratory judgment that he is entitled to stay in the job.
In the interim, it may fall to the judges in the Southern District to name a replacement, Sandick said, or Berman’s deputy could fill in as acting U.S. attorney for up to 300 days, as Joon Kim did after former U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara was fired.
“We are in uncharted territory here,” Sandick said. The administration has forced lawyers and observers to think about lots of complicated issues that no one has previously thought about because they were resolved by the participants trying to act in good faith.”

Combat Theology – a Combat Pilot’s perspective during trying times
Don’t cave to them.
You are not alone.
You can make a profound difference.
Sir,
When you are in Combat; far from the target; there is rarely a shot fired against you.
When you are (Air Force term ) “on the Run In, to the OA” (Objective Area) that is when you know you are in the right area… SAM shots, AAA gunfire…everything the Adversary has, comes at you. Not solely to destroy, but often, simply attempt to distract you off target.
Distraction can lead to mission failure, as much as Destruction.
But, you are a warrior, you have trained your whole life for this moment, and you are on the Run In.
You are on the Run In, and you have Top Cover. People, Prayers, Angels, the Earth itself is a witness to your Courage. You will not die 1000 deaths; you will taste of death but once. The Top Cover overhead are like F15 Strike Eagles. You can’t see them, can’t hear them at 45,000ft; but the Eagles are there, and they will “Cry ‘Havok’ and loose the Dogs of War;” not now, but at the right time. To defeat the adversary when their tools, at their disposal, are the most effective. Not on your desires, not on your timing; but on moment when they know their weapons are the most effective; to protect you. ‘For the weapons of our warfare are divinely powered, for the destruction of fortresses.’
The spines of thousands are being strengthened, by hearing of your fight.
You are NOT ALONE.
Before tonight, I never heard of you. If you had equivocated prior to this point, you would have still been destroyed by the people who want you to pander to them; and you would have dissolved into obscurity.
But, you fought for righteousness. The rule of law, the Constitution and Bill of Rights. For the Ethos of Dr Martin L King, … you fight for Content of Character.
You stood, seemingly alone, in the breach.
But you are not alone. We are with you.
I am with you – Fangs Out and Full Speed, I am coming; and with you even now.
Bow, kneel, grovel… you will dissolve into obscurity.
Make them seemingly kill you; and the eggs and smears and brutality they throw at you, will be a mantle of Honor you wear into eternity.
Use their leaders and their words to defeat them. Fight like Sun Tzu, fight with asymmetric warfare; expose the rot they expound, with Frédéric Bastiat – the Law…. show their decayed ideas and words are NOT NEW: decaying and failing for the last 200 years; and being renamed, rehashed and repacked: Orwellian; Gestapo; Tribal and Animal Farm-brutal.
You stand, seemingly alone, in the breach. But you are not alone.
I am with you – Fangs Out and Full Speed. Dropping my external tanks; so I can gain extra speed, extra maneuverability; unguarding the Weapons Release switches. I am coming, a Warrior Poet, with an army of angels and prayers. Reaching Mach1, and the turbine blades in my engines glow cherry red, while the Tach gauge red-lines at 103%
I am coming. I am the prayers of strangers. I am the Almighty; who sees all and judges the Heart.
I put Daniel’s heart in the scales, to see if he would kneel to images of gold; but he chose lions; and therefore I was with him. I put David’s heart in the scales; to see if he would kneel to a giant. Three small stones. Smooth and round. Symmetric, and elegant in their simplicity. The sword was too heavy, the armor too clumsy. David fought his fight, he won because he fought on his terms and didn’t fight the way the others wanted him to: friends and foe alike. I was with him. Three smooth stones. He didn’t kneel; so I was with him. I Am with you.
…and I’m with you as well.
Fangs Out and Full Speed,
LtCol X.
Combat Tactics Instructor Pilot; and your friend.
Interesting. If that is the case, then it doesn’t seem like a whole lot was accomplished by firing him without getting Graham on board. We shall see how it plays out.
ROFL
Thanks for the reports.
“He called he ruling from the judge on Bolton book “great.” On the attempted firing of Manhattan US Attorney Geoffrey Berman, he said that’s up to AG Barr, and that he is “not involved.””
AG William Barr responds to SDNY attorney Geoffrey Berman: “Unfortunately, with your statement of last night, you have chosen public spectacle over public service... I have asked the President to remove you as of today, and he has done so.”

It looks like they may have recently rehired her, so maybe now they agree with her?
Please check out this video . . . Very interesting . . .

I’m reading a lot of conflicting information. But wasn’t Grassley going to take back chairmanship of the committee next session?
