Bharara implies he was fired in order to stop an investigation

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.

For the schools takeover, always also include The Frankfurt School (of cultural Marxism) minions, which moved here from Germany in the mid 1940’s, infiltrated Columbia U as their new HQ (gee, who all went THERE?), then infiltrated teaching colleges, pubic schools, unions, Democrat Party, media and church hierarchies.

If the case cannot continue without Preet, what does that say about Preet ?

He was fired because President Trump is the boss. Acceptance to a narcissistic libtard is impossible because they always feel righteous and entitled. This snowflake needs to shut up, dust off his resume and move on.

“THEY are the ones who rigged the election and FAILED!”

... or tried to.

Everyone seems to forget that on election night, returns were coming in hot ‘n’ heavy from all over the place... until EXACTLY the moment where those returns would give the election to Donald Trump.

Then all those key states went dark. For HOURS. Until the wee hours of the morning. The networks - NONE of them - reported anything that would call the election. Clearly, it doesn’t take a rocket scientist (or conspiracy theorist) to suspect that the delay was caused by someone, somewhere (or, more likely, multiple someones, somewhere) trying to see if they could manufacture enough votes to pull Her Highness out of the gutter and give her the win after all. They couldn’t do it.

No one in the media questions this now, or questioned it then. Yet everyone, in their hearts, knows that’s exactly what was happening.

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

Convictions on two of the "Three men in a room" which ran New York State politics.
Two convictions on "corruption" of the two was one Democrat House Leader (M.Silver)/ one Republican State Senate Leader (D. Skelos); the third man in that room : Andrew Cuomo.
This might explain why Cuomo is starting to run for the 2020 Presidency, and claim that any possible prosecution for corruption is politically motivated,
now that Baharara is no longer there to protect him.

More fact free fake news from the mediots.

He was appointed by Obama and fired by Jeff Sessions. This has been done before and will be done again.

Heck, Jeff Sessions got fired by Janet Reno and Bill Clinton, as a US Attorney, and he survived. Now, Sessions was just following a long tradition of firing the previous president's political appointees.

Thanks to: xzins for the above.

New presidents can fire any previous appointment people after they take office.

Our fact free fake news mediots ignore this reality and their internet trolls post this fact free non news to try and create an issue when there is a long tradition of firing appointees of previous presidents.

Even Jeff Sessions was fired by Reno and Clinton. Did the media make a big story out of Jeff’s firing?

He could or will have a job with Obama’s destroy America group like the douchebags below:

Obama lawyers move fast to join fight against Trump
Reuters ^ | March 13, 2017 | By Lawrence Hurley
Posted on 3/13/2017, 10:59:53 AM by Oldeconomybuyer

When Johnathan Smith resigned from the U.S. Justice Department on Inauguration Day, he looked forward to spending time with his infant son, but that plan unraveled a week later when President Donald Trump unveiled his explosive foreign travel ban.

Within two weeks, Smith had a new job as legal director of civil rights group Muslim Advocates and was drafting briefs for a successful court challenge to the ban, joining other former top Obama administration lawyers now fighting Trump.

It is not surprising that Smith and some of his colleagues, political appointees of Democratic President Barack Obama, would leave the Justice Department now led by Republicans. What is unusual is how fast they have signed up to be Trump adversaries.

One reason for the Obama lawyers’ quick moves, some of them said, was Trump’s aggressive use of executive authority from day one, which was guaranteed to attract court challenges.

Besides Smith, other lawyers who have jumped into the fray include former Attorney General Eric Holder, who is advising California’s legislature on challenging Trump over immigration, environmental regulations and healthcare; and former acting solicitor general Neal Katyal, who is helping Hawaii contest Trump’s revised travel ban.

Some career government lawyers, who are not political appointees and normally do not resign in power shifts, have also resigned to oppose Trump. One is Sharon McGowan, who worked on LGBT issues at the Justice Department.

On Inauguration Day, she was offered a job as director of strategy at Lambda Legal, an LGBT advocacy group. McGowan said she decided to leave Justice when Trump named Jeff Sessions, a hardline conservative Alabama senator, to be attorney general.

That was a “game-changer,” she said. “I knew there would be no chance for me to preserve what I’ve been working on so hard.”

More likely, he was kept out because the investigation was too politically toxic for his future political aspirations. Thus they spread the “they feared him because he would conduct a real investigation” rumor as political camouflage.

IMHO, he just outed him a a big snake in the tall grass.

A link on the Heavy article about Bharara goes to a similar article about his wife, but also has additional about Preet. His father was a Moslem.

If by “they” you include two of my friends in Manhattan DA office and a Deputy Chief at One PP then I suppose they were misleading me over a few beers. And so it goes.

“He was about to put Cumo and some more away.”

His predecessor can pick up where he left off. Good riddance to him!
