Actually, Bharara was investigating only Dems, and also Trump called him the day before (obviously to either exempt him from the firings or offer him a position in DC) but Bharara refused to take the call because he said it might taint his investigations. I think that’s honorable and I think Trump would have understood it, but I don’t think Bharara should have given the very people he’s investigating a shot in the arm by making it look as if he was “standing up to Trump” or some such nonsense.
This could have been handled better by Bharara. As for Trump, he should have fired them all on day one, ala Clinton.
How do you know he was only investigating Dems?
Personally, I think it is just plain stupid. When the President calls, any US citizen should return the call.
Now if the President wants to talk about a specific investigation, respectfully telling him that talking about that investigation is unethical and against the rules is honorable.
But, refusing to talk at all is just plain disrespectful and being a jerk.
For a long time, Preet got a lot of good press. But we need to remember who was running the press and their agenda. I may be starting to smell something like being hard on low-level dems, but letting the higher level ones get away with a lot of corruption.
And, the prosecution of Dinesh was way overdone. Sure, he was guilty, but it was a very low-level crime. He was treated harshly because he is such a good advocate for conservative thought.
Yawn. He's been "investigating" Cuomo for three years. Where's the Clinton investigation? Skills was a Republican. Any prosecution of DeBlasio and Cuomo will only come about IF it becomes politically expedient for Hillary or Obama.
And there was the patriot Dinesh who was locked up because he was exercising his right to political free speech.
Bharara is a political hack.
