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

Why is not the province of journalism. How is. Why is a philosophical question to be answered by the reader. When you ask them why they can come up with anything they want and state it as fact.
Sikh and ye shall find!
Preset was the US Attorney for the Southern District of NY, Eric Schneiderman (a perfectly loathsome person and a political hack DeLuxe) is our “AG” in Gnu Yak. Preset brought the “three men in a room” down to one, Prince Andrew....we are doomed as a state.
$430/week. The problem is if Preet was a political appointee with decision making responsibilities he may not be eligible.
Indians are famous for behaving like idiots, bunch of backstabbers.
TRUMP SHOULD FIRE ALL INDIANS WORKING AT CALL CENTERS FOR AMERICAN COMPANIES IN INDIA VIA EXECUTIVE ORDER!!!
Do It today!!
That’ll learn’em!!!!
Michael Moore has a golden opportunity here — a docu-drama extravaganza:
THE MAN WHO REFUSED TO TAKE THE PRESIDENT’S CALL
“Brave, fearless, intrepid. And fired for his immoral principles.”
When you start “investigating” a political opponent.. there’s a fine line between legitament and corrupt investigation
Then Dem own self-righteous attitude is going to be their downfall.
That’s the problem when you take an “ends” justifies the “means” attitude
Because the “ends” was zero found...and the “means” the dems used is looking to be very corrupt & illegal
He was almost certainly doing a kangaroo ‘investigation’ of Trump at the calling of his buddy Schumer.
...
Good theory. The call was actually a test to see if Preet was up to no good.
They still are.
WHO did Trump mess with this time. WHAT did Trump do wrong now? WHEN did Trump first cook-up this evil plan? WHERE is Trump hiding the evidence? WHY was he ever elected, in the first place?
Dinesh kicks some serious @$$ in those tweets. Thanks for posting.
A note on the legal situation may help explain this.
Disclosure: I’m in the Civil Service, but I’m not a lawyer. However, this one is straightforward. Someone with legal training may correct me, but I think this one is simple.
The Constitution of the United States vests all executive power, including all prosecutorial power, in the whole huge United States Federal Government, in the President. Only the President has any prosecutorial power. Everyone else in the US Government, who acts as a prosecutor, is acting as the President’s agent, exercising the President’s power, by the President’s permission.
No rule of the Justice Department, or any other executive department, is binding on the President. All Justice Department regulations exist on the President’s authority. He may make exceptions to them, change them, or abolish them, whenever he wishes. Laws enacted by Congress can be binding on the President. Rules he makes himself, or which are made by his agents, acting on his authority, are not.
When a prosecutor, who has no power other than what the President grants him, decides not to talk to the President, and cites a rule under the President’s authority, as the justification for not taking his call, the right answer is “You’re fired.”
In the unlikely event that the President directs me to do something that’s against DoD policy, I would tell him that, and ask if he still wants me to do it. One should not allow one’s boss to disrupt the workings of the organization without being aware of it. Once he knows of the conflict, he may decide that keeping a steady operation is more important than whatever it is, and cancel the directive. Or he may decide to make an exception. Or he may decide to change the policy. In any case, it’s his call. My only role would be to see that his decision is an informed one, whichever move he decides to make.
Exactly. Very weird rules. Face-to-face is okay but not a phone call? Do they allow text messaging? The rules would seem to allow a letter ... at least that's how Jeff Sessions was fired by Clinton.
Think there must be a lot more here than we know about. In any case, Preet Bharara certainly does not have the shortest tenure of anyone who was asked to work by Trump, and accepted.
So Loretta Lynch can meet with the prominent husband of a presidential candidate under a cloud of suspicions and investigations and a U.S Attorney won’t take a phone call from the President?
Check his phone records. I’m sure he’s been in contact with several Senators and Congressmen. Did he follow DOJ rules then?
Wonderful, if it happened and we could understand their replacements.
Well F Prick, I mean preet whatever his stupid name was.
:-)
Maybe he thought it was a boiler room solicitation call.
