Yeah the whole rub is that Berman was never appointed by the POTUS nor confirmed by the Senate, and some damn law allows the judiciary to appoint an attorney until said time a presidential appointment can be made and confirmed. Throw in the NY senators have blue slipped Trumps desired choice, Trump is checkmated and Berman can continue to investigate and his associates. As much as we want to believe in the omnipotence of the President, he is finding out how insidious the swamp is.

Agreed, except he was appointed by Trump, only as a temporary appointment, and never formally submitted to the Senate for approval. Since he was Giuliani’s partner, I assume he came recommended by Rudy, Berman served on the Trump transition team but then something happened..
Who was Trump’s desired choice that was blue slipped by dems? I missed that one, I thought they were blue-slipping Berman.
Oh I understand what you mean, they are blue slipping Carson the new pick to replace Berman. I think the way it will play out Trump will have to formally fire Berman, since Barr can’t, only POTUS can. Then by law the SDNY judges appoint the temporary DA, pending Senate approval of someone new. All that could mean the judges will get their pick of DA until after the election, or some new plot twist occurs..
