Just announced on radio, Bharara HAS been fired. I live in New York, and he was the only thing trying to clean it up.
” Never found anything illegal with the bankers in the 2008 crash.”
Probably because they didn’t do anything illegal. That’s what happens when you buy the laws that you want.
A bipartisan Congress passed Gramm–Leach–Bliley 1999 and the Commodity Futures Modernization Act 2000 during Clinton, both of which opened the door to what the lenders were doing during the bubble.
“Oh for heaven’s sake. Let’s round up every American whose name isn’t WASPish enough for you,”
You’re virtue signaling is so beautiful. But the fact remains, foreigners are not raised steeped in the American values we all used to know. They are very accepting of globalism and top down governments.
Yes, a very few are ok. But many many more aren’t. Foreign born are usually not reliable as those WASP names you have such contempt for.

I retract that post. If this is the game he’s playing, his nonpartisanship is sorely in doubt.
True. This is an unfortunate bit of news. He was a true crusader against nepotism and corruption regardless of who was involved.
Trump needs to concentrate on DACA that he promised “to repeal on Day One” and get behind Sen. Cotton’s Bill to reduced legal immigration by 40%.
Was Jared Kushner behind this firing?
This guy went after Dinesh when Dinesh exposed Obama as a fraud. He is not a good guy. He is Obama guy.
“Probably because they didn’t do anything illegal.”
The credit default swaps were pure fraud. Also, they represented crap loans as a clean product when bundled. They sold it as grade A knowing it was garbage and were betting against them in the market.
If an Iowa chicken farmer sold all his bad eggs as grade A by selling nothing but lesser eggs in a batch. And while running this fraud he ran out and heavily invested in salmonella treatments.... he’d be in federal prison for a few decades. And not one with a golf course either. Yes, they were crooks.
Preet has been a very aggressive and successful prosecutor with respect to taking down corrupt politicians. He is currently investigating Cuomo and DiBlasio. I don’t like seeing Trump go back on his word. We were told that he was keeping Preet on, and now Preet is gone. One reservation I have about Preet is that he was Schumer’s counsel. I wonder if Preet was involved with the wiretapping of Trump Tower at Schumer’s direction. It was obvious that Preet was ambitious, and perhaps expected to be named to SCOTUS someday. With Hillary the loser, his ambition is dead until there is a democrat president elected. Trump needs to clean house of all Obama holdovers. The left cannot and is not to be trusted.
Ditto.
Anything Schumer has his hands on can not be worth a crap.Schumer has gone out of his way to harm Trump and Trump should not give in to him wittingly on anything.
What happens to his investigations of de Blasio and Cuoni?
This guy’s a really good prosecutor and he was about to take out de Blasio.
I wish Trump had kept him...
He is an administrator. Those investigations will have 10 to 50 attorneys working on them.
The guy was Chuck Shumer's lead counsel going after GWB for firing US Attorneys... then in 2009 Obama fired US attorneys and this dude was the first one Obama hired.
He jailed Dinesh Disouza and buried the Clinton investigations. He strong-armed banks for making the risky loans the government made them make and set up the DOJ slush funds to fund protests.
He is the "swamp" personified.
Perhaps now someone can actually start those.
Goodbye
For one thing he has to change parties, since he's a Democrat.
Uh...Dinesh donated a bunch of money to a friend of his by using friends if his to hide the source of the donations.
Totally illegal and an idiotic thing to do.
Dinesh likes to play loose with things, like when he showed up at a Christian conference with his mistress, and when people pointed out that it wasn’t decent, or Christian? For a guy to be cheating on his wife, and on top of it sharing a hotel room with with girlfriend.
He feigned a Gomer Pyle “aw, shucks” ignorance about adultery being wrong, but the whole affair stunk, as did Dinesh laundering donations to his friend’s political campaign.
Correct. If he is valuable, President Trump will recognize that and may decide to use him in another capacity. Because sometimes trouble is caused by the ones you would least suspect. Cleaning house means cleaning house.
At least he can say he was fired by the very best!!
