So it was OK to meet with Trump but not to take his phone call?
Exactly. Very weird rules. Face-to-face is okay but not a phone call? Do they allow text messaging? The rules would seem to allow a letter ... at least that's how Jeff Sessions was fired by Clinton.
Think there must be a lot more here than we know about. In any case, Preet Bharara certainly does not have the shortest tenure of anyone who was asked to work by Trump, and accepted.
Check his phone records. I’m sure he’s been in contact with several Senators and Congressmen. Did he follow DOJ rules then?
