In the least surprising moment of the day Trump fires Berman - and then doesn't?

I wonder how this will play in the courts because that is where this is going. I hope that this plays out in the courts, and I really hope that they have squirrelled away the evidence. This is the most corrupt administration that any modern democracy has ever had to contend with. Yet again another move to destroy justice. You know what though, no justice no peace and that refrain is going to expand wider and wider they more they chose an in your face fascist play book.

about firing Berman, and he said he had nothing to do with it. Said it was Barr's decision. Oops! Said the quiet part out loud. This should go to the courts. And Berman should continue to do his job. Hope he has made copies of everything to slow down the Barr erase/shred machine!

I fear that their may be no appetite by the next president to prosecute Trump and his accomplices for all of their destruction and if that happens I will have lost all hope that the common man has any representation in government.

They will go after him and his cohorts with all endeavour. Because they have been so egregious a message has to be sent that this can never happen again. That the republic will not stand for such a blatant attack on democracy. That if as a republican you get in again you play by the already watered down rules or you will pay the consequences.

This entire administration is criminal and without pursuing that, it continues. Heck, it even continues when you do try; i.e. Changes that came due to Nixon
