Former U.S. attorney Preet Bharara Sunday implied that he was fired by President Trump in order to kill an investigation.

Bharara, whose district encompassed Manhattan, was one of 46 U.S. attorneys across the country who had been asked by the Trump administration to resign Friday afternoon.

He refused to resign, setting up a public showdown with the Trump administration. A day later, he announced via Twitter that he had been fired. Then on Sunday, he tweeted a suggestion that his firing had something to do with an effort to squash an investigation.

"By the way, now I know what the Moreland Commission must have felt like," Bharara tweeted Sunday.

Some investigations are just persecutions.

If he was wasting tax payer money investigating Trump’s “future” earnings then he should be fired.

Folks, they will not stop until they get him out if the white house, one way or the other.

I think his only chance us to say “I will do nothing until America’s enemies are removed from office in the next congressional election. People, I need your help in draining this swamp. There’s more scum here than I thought and both parties need to be removed I will campaign against this nation’s enemies and for American patriots.”

Then see who will start supporting him.

You were fired because you refused to resign.

If you had resigned when asked you probably would have been re-hired. You didn't, so you were tossed out on your ear.

No he was not. Lynch assigned the Weiner and email investigation to her crony the USA for EDNY. This was odd because Weiner and Abedin live in Manhattan which is in SDNY, Bharara’s disrtict. Weiner’s computer was in his apartment. Word in LEO circles in NY believed Bharara was kept out of the loop for fear he would conduct a real investigation.

PING!!!

Article and comments, esp #12

If anything, Bharara was fired for insubordination and for slow-walking important investigations detrimental to the dems......

Preets been slow walking cases against Erdogan & Reza Zarrab (drug running rat line between Pakistan and Turkey), Hillary’s server, and Huma server / Anthony Weiner’s laptop with 650,000 emails where the Chief of Detectives, Robert Boyce, in the NYPD implied the 650,000 emails contain child exploitation , perjury, obstruction of justice and money laundering and pay-to-play, ....

Thanks wtd & H/T WildHighlander57

There should be a video of the Trump divestment presser somewhere. I think it was tail end of January or in February. His attorney is a black woman. It was a press conference, so maybe one of the real Trump News channels on YT. There are several anti-Trump channels using the Trump News or derivatives handles.

I agree it is frustrating to search out the truth. Makes it difficult to explain to the average person who only gets MSM news.

Washington Examiner...right...

I did a research on this U.S. Attorney...he is a big Clinton Donor; is a Schumer puppet; this FORMER U.S. attorney has the info on Clinton's computer; he is NO FRIEND of President Trump; this guy wants his name out in the public because he wants to run for Mayor or Gov. of New York, what better way to get his mug in the front and center, reminds you of Schumer and a camera; this guy also prosecuted the book author...

I congratulate President Trump and A.G. Sessions, and besides, the reason there was only 46 asked to resign, the rest have already quit...

I believe Bharara prosecuted Dinesh D’Souza mostly because of his political views. I figured he was kind of like Elliot Spitzer minus the hooker baggage after he did that. IIRC, Spitzer also had a reputation among the MSM as being one who aggressively went after corruption before the whole client#9 thing destroyed him.

Former U.S. attorney Preet Bharara was an Obama loyalist. He did not participate directly in investigations, so all the attorneys working for him continue their work. He will be replaced by a Trump appointee.

Your scenario....that Bharara was fired because Schumer didn't live up to his end of the bargain encapsulizes the cultural schism. Trump the businessman assumes that when people make a deal, they hold up their end. Schumer, the politician, does not expect to be held accountable for promises made.

Someone has pointed out on this thread that this is the guy who didn't bring any charges against the Clinton Foundation. He's made a lot of noises about investigations of dems, but no action.

Summary.....good riddance to Obama's drones!

Just to clarify ...

I don't believe Trump and Schumer had an agreement on this. I think the scenario was that Trump did this on his own as a goodwill gesture. Schumer probably didn't even see it that way, or recognize it at all.

Your statement is more “true” than you know. We are living under a Stalinist propaganda network. It has been going on since JP Morgan bought up all the influential APs back in 1910s. The elite want to control what we see, what we think, and what we “know”. It is Mind Control.

They took over the “education” system in 1930s with John Dewey’s curricula, kicked out true education (Classical Christian curricula) and got total control over major publishing companies, the textbooks and “literature”. They had the ability to control #1 “best sellers” and control all the “programming” on TV. They inserted their psy-ops into the programming to switch “good and evil” and normalize vice (irrationality) in children and embed Malthusian, Darwinian Scientism (irrational religions). Exposed to programming (Hollywood/public skools), children will embed an artificial “reality” (utopia) inserted into their subconscious and unable to be rational (understand Reality—Natural Law Theory/Christianity—what created the USA). Their mind will be compartmentalized so they will be incapable of understanding truth-—connecting the dots. CIA (operation mockingbird) took total control of all magazines, newspapers to get us to engage in wars, etc., so they could do their Malthusian urges of killing millions and destroying the Natural family, etc. so they could destroy normal instincts in children and get them away from mothers and the family so they could control their minds—create collective mindsets incapable of individualism (thinking for self).

It is hard to seek the Truth—and it will never be “given” to you without extreme work, reading original source documents (Classical curricula which includes the Bible) so you learn Socratic methodology and Aristotelian Logic and Christian Ethics-—most just, rational ethic system in history. Wisdom is a Cardinal virtue and it hinges on Justice, Courage and Perseverance—that which created the Age of Reason, Modern Science and the US Constitution. Other worldviews can never create such a culture as the USA. Freedom, Justice, Wisdom, and Individualism is crucial. Only Christianity embraces the US Constitution (Natural Law theory) -the Supreme Law of the Land (at least it used to be prior to 1912.

I know Preet stopped the bribe investigation of Harry Reid in the Black Friday online gaming case.

So possibly a corruptocrat who goes after other corruptocrat. I can see the usefulness in that.. and the danger. Sounds like a distraction from something important going on.
