Fucking Kidding Me? Preet Bharara fired?

[busterbrown]

Yea I know all about how typical it is for previous administration appointees to resign.. But Fuck that!

I live in L.A. and still have friends in N.Y. with some connections to various Progressive Orgs.
Immediately contacting them to organize protest against his dismissal..

Have selected one paragraph in CNN coverage story..As stated, this guy is a “rock star”
Hopefully New Yorkers will take peaceful but powerful action.. His accomplishments out weigh and reservations
concerning that “this is typical political business”.

Snip:CNN

His office racked up nearly $500 million in settlements, including against Deutsche Bank and CitiMortgage for faulty lending practices. He targeted cyber hacking groups LulzSec and Anonymous, according to his profile on the Southern District's website.
Bharara's team of hard-driving prosecutors also went after international narcotics traffickers, corruption in local and state government, including in Albany, and took down gang kingpins and mobsters in the Bronx, Yonkers and other areas. His office extradited and sent to jail arms trafficker Viktor Bout and put Faisal Shahzad, the Times Square bomber, behind bars for life.

AND THEY ASKED FOR HIS RESIGNATION? This is another “DROP DEAD N.Y. City (State) Moment!

The only president to fire all the AGs... what if obama or clinton had done the same? the right would still be having their protests...

4. I believe Clinton requested all the AGs submit resignations when he came into office

Most all of the AGs were gone during that year, the final few were gone in 1994.

Putin has put out an order specifically banning him from entering Russia.
