Yesterday, William Barr made this press release LINK

Quote

I am pleased to announce that President Trump intends to nominate Jay Clayton, currently the Chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission, to serve as the next United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York....

On my recommendation, the President has appointed Craig Carpenito, currently the United States Attorney for the District of New Jersey, to serve as the Acting United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, while the Senate is considering Jay Clayton’s nomination....

Finally, I thank Geoffrey Berman, who is stepping down after two-and-a-half years of service as United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York....

One problem: Barr lied. Berman hasn't stepped down.

What's the rush to replace SDNY attorney? Does it have something to do with the cases tied up in court? The pending Supreme Court case involving Deutsche Bank? Why the late Friday night announcement, the same time Trump was originally scheduled to hold his rally in Tulsa?

Now Barr says US Attorney Berman has been fired.

Looks like the courts are going to have to decide this.

One step at a time.

Not sure how much more blatant trump could get at this point. His flock won’t care of course.

One guy getting canned is a massacre? :roll:  There is no narrative that you won’t jump on.

I think it's the continued firings that they're talking about. Trump kept touting how he's going to bring all of the best people to Washington to clean up the swamp

It's not a good look when he keeps firing those "best" people

The media are actually calling it that. It was trending on Twitter. I was worried, wondering if there was some crazy mass shooting or something.

I assumed something happened when I seen the title. Thought maybe someone went ape sheet in Atlanta or Tulsa.

Trump didn’t appoint him, the courts usurped power and did. He is well within his right to fill it with who who wants to. And the media, and their unquestioning sychophants, are calling one firing a massacre.

It’s a reference to Nixon’s Saturday night massacre.

Trump claims this is all Barr’s doing. LINK

Q    Why did you fire Geoffrey Berman?  Why did you fire him?

THE PRESIDENT:  Well, that’s all up to the Attorney General.  Attorney General Barr is working on that.  That’s his department, not my department.  But we have a very capable Attorney General.  So that’s really up to him.  I’m not involved.

Firing? I thought it was a resignation? No? So what is going on? It doesn’t take a genius to see there is funny business happening.

Berman was appointed interim US attorney until Trump filled the position, and is approved by the Senate. Can Barr fire Berman to make his own temporary appointee? I guess we wait for the courts to sort it out.

Nixon was President back when Republicans held the officeholder accountable though.

Sad times we live in.

House Judiciary to subpoena A.G. Barr, over mishandling the ouster of interim SDNY US Attorney Berman.

Barr is expected to ignore the subpoena.

Zelinsky will testify DOJ interfered in the Roger Stone case.

Link to his opening statement: https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/6955122-Zelinsky-Opening-Statement-Hjc.html

Quote

What I heard — repeatedly — was that Roger Stone was being treated differently from any other defendant because of his relationship to the president. I was told that the Acting U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, Timothy Shea, was receiving heavy pressure from the highest levels of the Department of Justice to cut Stone a break, and that the U.S. Attorney’s sentencing instructions to us were based on political considerations.

I was explicitly told that the motivation for changing the sentencing memo was political, and because the U.S. Attorney was "afraid of the President.”
