Preet Bharara—the political hack who refused to go after the Clinton Foundation tweets that he’s been fired as U.S. Attorney. GREAT!

What have you got against people from India? Lots of them are fine upstanding citizens.

Banks in the 1990's were coerced into giving risky mortgages... or face discrimination suits from Congress. They did so, after much protest. Congress then allowed them to package subprime loans and resell them, assuring them that the Feds will back them.

Then, right on cue before the 2008 election, everyone decides there's not enough money to cover all those bad loans.

Then Obama comes along and sues the banks for doing what they were forced by the government to do.

He prosecuted Dinesh D’Souza the Obama critic and asked for two years prison time for a very minor election law violation that Democrats get a slap on the wrist for.

Good riddance to this Obama appointee.

I don’t know what that is, but it’s seriously freaking scary. I would *not* be standing there. Just in case it didn’t know when to stop sucking.

He isn’t going to run for anything. He was Schumer’s buttboy. No longer useful to him. He can make 3mm per year doing white collar crime defense. But, one does not cross the President of the US unless one is in league with the traitors.

I was just thinking the NY MenSeekingMen.. taking a weekend off from attacking DJT? Maybe the Bharara fire got ‘leaked’ and they suddenly had the pressing personal business of examining their new ‘hangout’, as their queen HRC puts it.

The interesting thing about this guy is not the list of people he prosecuted, but the people he never went after.

This guy was also the main guy on the Clinton Foundation investigation... which seemed to go nowhere. He was the black hole where you send investigations into if you don’t want them to ever see the light of day.

Sort of a Democrat version of Darrel Issa?

He’ll run for mayor and use this to get some of that never-Trump ‘stink’ on him so he’ll appeal to the snowflakes.

Chris Christie is a criminal.

He’s a liability to the party too.

The more I look into this guy, the more obvious is is he’s as corrupt as Obama himself. Very happy to see him go... but he’ll probably be back... he went after GWB for firing US attorneys, then went to the DOJ as a US attorney when Obama fired them all. He’ll probably go back to going after Trump for firing US attorneys.

"Moments ago I was fired. Being the US Attorney in SDNY will forever be the greatest honor of my professional life."

It might also be the LAST honor of your professional life, because you got yourself fired for insubordination.
