Did he say this with a straight face?
Funny, when a dimoKKKRAT fires a U.S. Attorney there are no problems, they just resign. When President Trump fires a U.S. Attorney all hell breaks loose.
The legal precedent is clear. Federal prosecutors serve at the pleasure of the President who may fire them all if he chooses—unless of course the President is Donald Trump. The same is true of Executive Orders. Presidents may issue Executive Orders and/or rescind Executive Orders—unless the President is Donald Trump.
Absolutely laughable
Especially in NY
FTA: “Otherwise, ordinary citizens will have no faith in our justice system.”
I think that ship has sailed.
Trump fired him. Problem solved.
Absolutely laughable
Especially in NY
Clinton and Obama fired U.S. Attorneys - No problem. George W. Bush and Donald Trump fire U.S. Attorneys - Constitutional Crisis.
Just fire his ass already.

But with the way things are going could Berman make a case for him to stay on ????
If this reaches the Supreme Court, John Roberts will declare him President of the United States.
Looks like time for a reenactment of the Third Defenestration of Prague (1618).
Ready the honey wagon!
Well BYE.
If he does not leave immediately them he must be removed by force immediately. Do not play this lib game for one second that our President has no legitimacy. What part of “Your Fired” don’t you understand ?
“Funny, when a dimoKKKRAT fires a U.S. Attorney there are no problems, they just resign. When President Trump fires a U.S. Attorney all hell breaks loose.”
That’s why Trump should have fired all the democrat attorneys en masse. He didn’t and now he will have to deal with these prima donnas.
My guess is this guy Berman goes nowhere and will get funding to fight this in court. I would not rule out Berman eeking out a win here given the state of judges in this country and particular in NY.
Without a resignation from Berman or his ouster, there is no vacancy for Barr to appoint an acting U.S. attorney to fill.
Or, VSG President Trump can fire his ass.
Which has now happened!
The Lawfare kids can sleep well this night
FTA:
“I have not been contacted by the administration in this regard” Graham said Saturday. “However, I know Mr. Clayton and believe him to be a fine man and accomplished lawyer. As to processing U.S. attorney nominations, it has always been the policy of the Judiciary Committee to receive blue slips from the home state senators before proceeding to the nomination.”
Sometimes it’s best to quote exactly what a person says instead of paraphrasing it. Looks like Graham is being deliberately ambiguous and keeping his options open.
This is another garbage issue dreamed up by the Commies and the Organize For Action--the President has the power to remove Berman and I think he may have done so before he left DC for Tulsa.
There may be uncertainty about a replacement--if the Court thinks it has the power and appoints a replacement, Trump removes the replacement and continues to do so until either the Court gives him someone he wants or he gets an appointment of his choice confirmed. Either way, Trump can lock down the US Attorney's office until he gets control which is the intent of the statute.
