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.
Speaking on ABC News' "This Week" in his first televised interview since Trump fired him in March as the top federal prosecutor in Manhattan, Bharara said he believed Trump's calls to him violated the usual boundaries between the executive branch and independent criminal investigators.
"It's a very weird and peculiar thing for a one-on-one conversation without the attorney general, without warning between the president and me or any United States attorney who has been asked to investigate various things and is in a position hy

After his treatment of Dinesh, he needed to be fired.
what a horrid thought. I hope not. I pray he doesn’t.
i thought it was weird that he sat being Comey during the hearings this week.
Look - it was a setup - i am sure that ABC knew about and sponserd it through the Dems

There should be a law:
If one is fired from a government position,one cannot apply for another government position. Ever.
Until Comey did his first fake indictment of PIAPS, I had never heard of Bharara. At that point numerous here on FR raved what a staunch, solid mensch he was. And how he would get into Weiner’s laptop and nail his and Hillary’s hides to the barn door. What a crock! Trump had to fire him, and I’m glad. Lead, follow or get the bleep outta the way!
If this guy is to be believed.... then, know that Donald Trump doesn’t talk like a professional politician. And he doesn’t talk like you educated elites who only talk to one another. I am tired of hearing how “different” Trump is from all those talking heads and those who think they have a handle on what he should say and how he should say it. Leave him alone... we voted for him so he could change the way Washington is and drain that ugly swamp... you elite want to keep that swamp full of scum.
“Made Me Fell Uncomfortable”. Newly added to the Dem’s playbook. We will hear it used more.
Phone calls are “unusual” and the “usual practice” was “violated”? Was he a US Attorney or social director at a ladies tea house? If you’re a prosecutor you deal with it until there is a crime, you don’t whine about everything.
Well, I’m sure the NSA has a record of it...
Was there a man anywhere in Obama’s cabal? When the Trump men moved in, Maintenance probably had to reinstall urinals.
LOL no no no, Bharara and Shroomer go way back, and he was Chief Counsel on Schumer’s staff during the Bush admin. when he and Schumer plotted together to try to bring down the Bush admin.
Bharara is just another ‘Rat political hack, glossed over by his prosecutorial career made to appear as though he is some non-partisan figure.
Bharara was a Schumer hack from way back, a key staff member for Schumer during the Bush admin. All the hype about him as some kind of non-partisan straight shooter is just MSM propaganda.
The bull sh!it thick with this one. They think the deplorables juat fell off the turnip truck.
You sure do if you’re a liberal.

Since when are 2 phone calls a "handful?"
“Since when are 2 phone calls a “handful?” “
Maybe he has small hands...
I do not trust one word out of this guy. Furthermore, after having been told over and over how pure and honorable Comey was, then seeing how duplicitous and dishonest he actually is, I no longer trust anyone in D.C. - including plenty on the hill, who knew that Trump wasn’t under investigation all that time, and said nothing.
I don’t trust Mueller either, and am convinced he is supposed to clean up Comey’s mess.
This Preet guy is more of the same - untrustworthy, and a part of the corrupt NY area politician/legal gang.
I guess he didn’t feel too uncomfortable to meet with President-Elect Trump at Trump Tower the end of last November, but now that Comey’s been whining about how inappropriate his calls/meetings were with President Trump, and how uncomfortable he was made to feel, his homies have to come out to support a fellow lying sack-of-$hit.
