U.S Attorneys are part of the executive branch of government and serve at the pleasure of the President of the Unites States and the Attorney General. Of course @realDonaldTrump can fire any of them at any time.
(Excerpt) Read more at twitter.com ...
Clinton and obama fired them in mass.
I’m sure Twitter is melting down over this infusion of sanity.
So why doesn’t he fire him?
I dare you to click. it already has nearly 1k ‘retweets’
Nobody is denying that Trump can fire the U.S. attorney. But not telling the man that he resigned before you released a press release saying that he did is probably always going to lead to the situation they have now.
He's waiting until 9:15 PM, Eastern Daylight Savings Time on 06/20/2020, the beginning of Summer and his Tulsa Rally, to send a message.
Don't mess with the Bull.
Oh, if it happens, I'll be into the 12 year old Scotch and cigars until the wee hours of the morning.
I take my pleasure when it appears, and in today's world, it doesn't take much.
As I understand, Barr announced Berman’s resignation without President Trump firing him. Barr was probably hoping he would go quietly without Trump intervening. The President will fire him post-speech and he will leave sooner than July 3. Berman better not leave anything in his office when he goes home each night. When the hammer comes down he will have to wait for the mail to bring his personal property.
Don’t these guys turn in an undated resignation letter before they start the job?
Not that I know of. But the fact that they serve at the pleasure of the President is a given.
“The President will fire him post-speech and he will leave sooner than July 3.”
Maybe during the speech. How awesome would that be.
Rand does a good job as a senator.
I know many of us don’t agree with some of his libertarian votes, but compared to most of the rest, he seems to actually care about the country
“FLASHBACK: When Bill Clinton Had 93 U.S. Attorneys FIRED IN ONE DAY”
I seem to remember in detail the first week in office Clinton fired THEM ALL and replaced them with people beholding to, or in actual fact, FOB (Friends of Bill)
the d*** pr*ck needs to be physically hauled out of the government office like Sewell Lee Avery was removed from his corporate office in 1944. see pictures on internet
and then, keep hauling him. straight to jail
one of the first things he did coming into office
press covered it without anyone saying boo

yep
“Mr. Berman, you’re fired!”
President Donald J. Trump
Didn’t Clinton fire all the US attorneys upon taking office, or was that an urban legend?
Of course he can fire them, he just can’t replace them with good people because Linda Graham won’t let him without going through Shummer to get permission.
