In 2005, Bharara moved to Washington, D.C., to serve as Senator Charles E. Schumers chief counsel on the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee. He also worked as staff director for the Senate Subcommittee on Administrative Oversight and the Courts, and helped lead the Senates investigation into the firing of several U.S. Attorneys during President George W. Bushs second term, said Columbia University in a bio of Bharara.
President Barack Obama nominated Bharara to the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York post in May 2009. The Senate unanimously confirmed his nomination, and he was sworn into office that August.

Donald Trump made headlines when he accused the Obama administration, without providing proof, of wiretapping Trump Tower in Manhattan, an extraordinary claim. Its not clear, though, whether that played a role in the about-face on Bharara.
Bharara is a wealthy man, despite his years of government service. Bharara was an early investor in Quidsi, the parent company of Diapers.com, which was co-founded by his brother, Vinit, reported BuzzFeed. When Amazon acquired the company for $545 million in 2011, Bharara earned his cut, reportedly over $1 million.
So? A good swift kick in the derriere is all it takes.
What rules?
He did a political hit job on D’Souza, and he’s investigating the commie mayor DeBlasio.
He’s investigating DeBlasio now. Conventional wisdom would state that if he went after the conservative he would save the commie.
Good move. Trump needs to get rid of more. IRS should be next.
Preset can’t be that smart if he hasn’t figured out how email works yet.
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....
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.
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.
NY US Attorny responsible for investigating Hillary, Clinton Foundation, Huma and Weiner? He’s in the protection racket. Now we may get on some real investigations into the Clintons.
Artogant, elitist, entitled POS. Glad he was fired. It will
