So, the criminal at the Head of the Justice Department tried to fire Geoffrey Berman- U.S. Attorney of the Southern District of New York.
I say tried, cause Berman is pulling an Effie ( And I am telling you, I’m not going 🎶🎶🎶).
Berman knows the law.
Dolt45 playing fast and loose with all these ‘ACTING’ Heads has finally caught up with him.
What is going on in the Justice Department? https://t.co/iebKyhKiNp

Berman was put in there as ‘Acting’. But, that has a time limit. The time limit expired, and Dolt45 was too lazy to put a Senate-confirmed person in there.
So….
Wait for it…
THE COURT PUT BERMAN BACK INTO THAT POSITION.
And, since THE COURT put him in that position…
Dolt45 and Barr can’t fire him.🤨🤨🤨
So…what case or cases was Berman working on that he wouldn’t tank for Dolt45 got us to this moment in time?🤨🤨
Inquiring minds want to know.🤔🤔🤔
2/ Worth remembering that Berman is hardly some Deep State resister. He’s Rudy’s former law partner and a campaign donor to the Trump 2016 campaign. Trump and Barr’s corruption is so profound they force allies to this point.

The key question to me regarding Berman: was his firing the result of a slow burn (unwillingness to bend to Barr’s micromanagement, repeated demonstrations of independence) or to prevent some imminent action?
— Matthew Miller (@matthewamiller) June 20, 2020
It would be wonderful irony if this entire thing turned on the mobbed-up fraud president, who made his name saying "I'm fired," being unable to fire an attorney he mistakenly believed would cover up his crimes. #BermanIsNotLeaving

The announcement also says the NJ US Atty will takeover while a replacement is pending. It’s extremely unusual to have a US Atty from another district takeover for a colleague who departs. The acting role typically goes to the 1st Assistant, a non-political career employee.

Think about this: Bolton’s book comes out revealing that he told Barr about Trump’s crimes. Barr buried that information! It’s no coincidence that Barr, upon the release of the Bolton info, tried to oust SDNY US Attorney Jeff Berman. In fact, Barr lied and said Berman resigned.
— Glenn Kirschner (@glennkirschner2) June 20, 2020
liability. Trump and Barr are firing people in an attempt to cover up their crimes. Barr is playing a dangerous game of chicken with Berman. HOPEFULLY, in Berman, Barr may have met his match . . . Stay tuned, as the viability of our system of justice hangs in the balance.

Uh, so Barr lied again and Berman is not fired? https://t.co/A9Hbl2Jp0L https://t.co/6F9mnYS8EK

One thing the Berman controversy highlights is Trump’s massive circumvention of the Constitutional requirement that the Senate vote to confirm his key appointments. There are acting officials all across govt. https://t.co/2dvisRO9Ui

OLC opinion from 1979 says under 546 the AG can't fire someone — i.e can't trump so to speak the court's choice — but that President can. That rule has never been tested in court however.
— Harry Litman (@harrylitman) June 20, 2020
Assuming Trump does order, Berman will proffer 546. DOJ's argument on behalf of Trump I think has to be 546 is unconstitutional as applied to extent prohibits Trump from firing someone. Myers v US. I actually think that this is a strong argument.
— Harry Litman (@harrylitman) June 20, 2020
Expect rushes to courthouses — DC and SDNY — and all manner of dueling orders, marshals etc. But the pivotal point will be whether the first court that gains jurisdiction is persuaded to grant a preliminary injunction on behalf of Trump and disturb the status quo —

not oust Berman while they consider the legal actions. That likely translates into more than enough time — maybe the rest of the Administration — for SDNY to move triple time, as they already must be doing — to develop the cases that Barr and Trump fear and loathe

BREAKING: after he refused to step down, the United States Attonery for the Southern District of New York has been fired by President Trump

President Trump just told reporters at the White House that he's "not involved" with the firing of US Attorney Berman. Trump said it's up to Attorney General Bill Barr
— Hunter Walker (@hunterw) June 20, 2020
#WOW: Trump just undercut Barr's claim that he had fired Berman. As legally, Barr can't do so himself…
Trump says it's "up to" Barr, and the he is "not involved."pic.twitter.com/0kf8A7sNDY
— Cyrus Toulabi (@CyrusToulabi) June 20, 2020
The real loser here is Barr, who was publicly caught lying in the service of a President who then denied he was involved in the firing. Berman is now free to testify to Congress & the House must insist that Barr appear for oversight hearings, albeit months late. https://t.co/pO3zzuQRxD

She won’t support providing a stimulus check for people to stay home in the middle of a PANDEMIC…
But, supports this bullshyt?

This heifer has TO GO😠

She’s off the rails. Desperate.
https://twitter.com/DWUhlfelderLaw/status/1275095890064261120
So, let’s look at where we are in this election cycle.
The NYT has made some staff changes that scream -WATCH OUT FOR THE UPCOMING PHUCKERY.
These people have not earned the benefit of the doubt and should not be given any. When you see it, call it out, and push that call out on as many platforms as you can.
Make no mistake, those muthaphuckas are looking for the ‘ BUT HER EMAILS’ for 2020.
Having gotten none, and the Biden campaign’s election direction running so far, they has a sad.
Do not give them one phucking inch. You smell the bullshyt, call it out and have friends call it out. It ain’t paranoia coming from the muthaphuckas of BUT HER EMAILS who have never apologized.
Next, keep on the lookout of the polls of the Seniors. I honestly don’t think those numbers are going to change. Why?
Look at Florida. Look at the new cases for COVID-19 in Florida. They say that it skews younger. Of course it does – THE SENIORS ARE ALL INSIDE. Outside of the crazies that pop up on Twitter, the vast majority of our Seniors are inside, and can’t come out and can’t be visited by family. And, no matter what the Fox News bubble tries to tell them, THEY KNOW WHY THEY CAN’T COME OUTSIDE WITHOUT RISKING THEIR LIVES.
We have to have Joe Biden’s back. Joe – don’t leave that phucking basement. Nobody wants you out of that basement. We for damn sure don’t want you at any ‘ regular’ campaign-style events. Because, mark my words….if just ONE PERSON from a Biden event is found to have caught COVID-19, that will be BOTH SIDES by the MSM to the equivalent of the malicious incompetent in the White House who has killed over 120,000 Americans.
Trust me on that. They are so phucking desperate to BOTH SIDES it….
Don’t fall for it, Team Biden.
I have to admit that I am still happy when I see that Team Dolt45 got punked by socially savvy teenagers.
Will it get ugly?
Racist, probably BIRTH OF A NATION RACIST?
ABSOLUTELY.
SO, buckle up and get ready for it.
Dear God how long can this go on?
