Former U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara revealed on Sunday that he received a handful of "unusual" phone calls from Donald Trump after the November election that made him feel uncomfortable, and said he was fired after declining to take the third call.

More swamp creatures come out.
Your boss calls, you answer.
Next.
Stupid is as stupid does. His next boss was testing him. Nothing wrong with that. Then he was fired because he failed the test. Bless his heart.
Oh, good gad. Not this **** again.
Good judgment that this bum was fired.
He is using the ‘Hillary Clinton Playbook’ along with Anthony Weiner, Huma, Chuck Schumer, Cuomo, Deblahio, and others...
President Trump fired him because the problems that were going on, plus President Trump knew about the connections this guy has and still does...he was at one time connected to the New York Mob...along with other things...
He's a ‘snowflake’ just like Comey and the rest...you put them all together and you won't get a set of balls or a total spine!!!
People need to read about these people...they are dirty, liars, crooks, thieves, and scum!!!
He waits till now to whine?
Lost an inside connection through comey?
If I recall correctly, when he was fired he became best buds with schumer. That says a lot.
That’s it? His boss called him? The horror!
What is it about “unitary executive” that he doesn’t understand?
lol
If Bharara thinks he was uncomfortable, just think of how President Trump must have felt having to talk to a slimy, whinging swamp creature like this guy.
Wanna bet he’s gonna be running for NYS gov...
“between the president and me”
What? Obama was calling him too?
Was he queasy too? Why didn’t he ask Comey for some Alka Selzer?
This guy has a stellar reputation but doesn’t know when to keep his mouth shut. He’s determined to make trouble for Trump.
This Preet guy makes Hillary look honest.
Criminal investigators are part of the executive branch, and function under the direction of, and at the pleasure of, the President.
The idea that there are “independent criminal investigators” who are in conflict with, or outside of, the executive branch is as anti-constitutional as it is incorrect.
This ia a very old story and this as*hole said the exact same thing when he was fired in January.
