Prosecutor Preet Bharara was fired by the attorney general a day after he refused to return a phone call from President Trump, a report alleges.
An assistant to the president of the United States called Bharara’s office Thursday, saying the president wanted to talk, but Bharara refused citing Department of Justice rules, the New York Times reported.
On Friday, Attorney General Jeff Sessions notified all 46 federal prosecutors, who were appointed by President Obama and still active, to leave. Bharara was one of those asked to resign.
When Bharara got the call Thursday, he informed an aide to Sessions that he wouldn’t be able to talk to the president because of the rules. He then called Trump’s assistant to say the same.
It is unknown what Trump wanted to talk to Bharara about.

Dinesh sentence was WAY over the top...
Trump needs to keep this political hack as far away from his administration as possible....
It is heartening to see that many here raised the obvious but to date unanswered question, “What rule?” It makes little sense to launch off into editorializing until the relevant facts are on the table. As a newly elected town official, I have learned to always ask for a citation and evidence whenever an entrenched bureaucrat says that the law or the State or a bye-law says....
I think this was a shock to criminal NY, who had been led to believe Preet would stay and continue protecting them, the MenSeekingMen were too silent on this yesterday. Looks like we’re going to the mat again, this time for the big fish.
SUSAN: (spotting an inconsistency) Wait a minute. I thought that Art wanted to give up the exporting.
ELAINE: What'd I say?
SUSAN: The importing.
ELAINE: (caught out) I did. Uh...
SUSAN: So, what does he uh, import?
ELAINE: (extemporizing) Uh... chips.
SUSAN: Oh. What kinda chips?
ELAINE: Potato.
SUSAN: Ah.
ELAINE: (embroidering) Some corn.
SUSAN: And what does he export?
ELAINE: Diapers.
SUSAN: (fake smile) I'm sorry for bothering you.
ELAINE: Oh, no, it's okay.
This reminds me when the head of the IRS and some woman both refused to testify in a Congressional hearing, both smirking - during BOs regime.
I hope their bad choices follow them in life.
Prima Donna. Preet can’t read the tea leaves— not unusual for people in rule bound professions- forest, trees meet bark.
Sooooo...now Trump gets to appoint the person who will control the diBlasio investigation (Don Jr for mayor?), the Cuomo investigation, Human Abedin’s computer and who knows what else. The amazing thing is no one on the Democrat side called Preet and told him to cool his jets. They have the most to lose in this instance.
“Donald Trump did what only Donald Trump can do so well: He said, ‘You’re fired!’”
On “Justice,” Judge Jeanine Pirro slammed Preet Bharara for not leaving his position as U.S. Attorney “with dignity.”
Good riddance. I never liked that scumbag.
Bharara may be shielding massive corruption in NYS government under Cuomo and the Dems by only nibbling at the edges of prosecutions. His side by side convictions of Sheldon Silver and Dean Skelos should only be labeled “politically correct.”
What rules? Since when can’t someone in DOJ talk to the President?
Peet is a friggin douchebag. No more resignations. Just fire them, cancel pensions.
"Follow the Money" to
" Whats in it For me"
Obama appointee.
$1M ain’t wealthy these days
Notice he took the `rat default position: “The law prevents Donald Trump from doing something I don’t want done.”
Good riddance you dirty `rat cockblocker.
Sounds like Bharara knew what was coming and wanted to be an a$$ about it.
He got a letter asking for his resignation. He refused. What did he expect was going to happen next?
Then, he runs to the media and whines about what happened.
“An assistant to the president of the United States called Bharara’s office Thursday, saying the president wanted to talk, but Bharara refused citing Department of Justice rules, the New York Times reported.”
The silly whiner might have some rule to back him up, but he failed to point out that DOJ attorneys can be fired at the drop of a hat for no stated reason.
