Preet says: "No, I'm not resigning..."

[VietnamEraVet]

Drudge Report is noting that US Attorney Preet Bharara is refusing to resign!

I wonder how this will play out. It would be great to know what is going on in the behind the scenes on this, considering that he is after DeBlasio; hopefully looking at monkey face FUAC; and has the trials for Silver and Skelos and son coming up soon...

Report: U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara Refusing To Resign On Trump Request | Weasel Zippers

 

[Phauxtoe]

He must want unemployment benefits!
I don't blame him!

 

[Calculon]

As much as I'd like Preet to nail monkey face to the wall Trump needs to squash these refusals to honor his decisions. The DAs serve at the pleasure of the POTUS. Be gone.

 

[Podmonkey]

Let the man finish his work. If he fails to put Cuomo in prison then can him.

 

[Catskillkid]

Something is off here. At first Trump says he can stay now he's asking for his resignation. What gives?

Trump has finally realized his administration has been compromised by Democrat saboteur agents.

Typical of our government these days. I'd like to believe that this situation is merely an oversight by Trump's staffers and that Bahara got lumped in with the rest of the US Attorneys. Time will tell.

Bahara has been very tough on the Hasidim in our community and has uncovered voter fraud and other crimes concerning the take over of one of our communities. If Trump fires him I'll lose some respect. It would be a terrible decision.

I agree. Democrat or not Trump should give Preet as much juice as he needs, and then some.

 

[prambo]

Not a logical decision at all. Set Preet loose on The Princess, if he's a real Democrat, nailing Cumho will look very clean.

Oh, take the cannolis.

As an aside, here are the last 2 paragraphs of the NYT article - absolutely no relation to the rest of the article. These cocksuckers just can't do their supposed jobs - total political hacks:

"Mr. Trump last weekend accused former President Barack Obama of wiretapping Trump Tower in Manhattan, an allegation he has yet to back up.

But federal investigators have been examining whether there was a connection between Russian officials and the Trump campaign. Intelligence officials believe that the hacking of emails belonging to the Democratic National Committee and campaign officials for Hillary Clinton was orchestrated by the Kremlin."

And, "You're fired!" -

I agree that Preet has been a net positive for NYS but he was council for Schumer and remains very close to that ass wipe. It's hard for me to see Trump keeping him with that relationship. It probably as much a FU to Chuckles as anything else.

Keep your freinds close and your enemies closer.

I would not fully trust a BHO appointee who is talked up so much by Maloney (NY18 & the Clinton tool for the Monica issues), adored by the MSM, and selectively ignores the biggest fish and root cause of corruption in NY politics.

Color me skeptical but I am not really convinced Preet was fully engaged. Some of Preet's targets could have been sacrificial lambs, and it seems to me Preet's initial focus has been on those competing with prince Andrew for power (2 of the 3 in a room) Was the Clinton Foundation ever on his radar? I do question BHO political appointees that the MSM still likes, and many far left politicians endorse so strongly.

 

[MothMan]

With as much good as he had done, his time is over. Time to bring out the dogs that have a taste for monkey!

Monkey huh? Cuomo would be a backwards walking baboon. With the brain of a lemur. A dimwitted lemur. The brain of a dimwitted lemur that fell out of a tree and landed head first. On to a boulder.

 

[MothMan]

Ouch!

 

[NY Leatherneck]

Eric Schneiderman was actually whining in a tweet about Preet getting fired. Anytime that scumbag wants someone to stay is a good indicator for us that Preet wasn't going all the way with Andy or Eric.
See ya Preet...you had your chance!!

[gun_slinger_boy]

Honestly I always thought Preet getting anything on cuomo was a pipe dream. There is just too much corruption in NY. We can't even get the slime out of pro gun states. NY? Forget about it. Nothing is being done in NY. It just seems hopeless. Are there any victories you can think of in the last few years?

Judge Jeanine Pirro is gonna go off on Preet during her cable show tonight.

 

[MoMan]

Preet had his chance. I think if he had nailed cumho's ass to the waal, President Trump may have kept him on. Preet failed, so as they say in the real world: "You're Fired"!!

 

[pmcjuryny]

Preet did some good in NY, but when you serve at the pleasure of the POTUS and the POTUS asks for your resignation, don't play stupid games. Just a waste of everyone's time. Getting Silver and Skelos out was good work, but after all the hype of continuing indictments, he seemed to fall flat. I think he assumed at least one of them would roll over and want to play ball, but they called his bluff, and he was left scratching his head. He ignored some pretty prime targets as well. Either way he is gone, but he turned down the chance to leave with some dignity.

ETA.

I think it is good that trump is cleaning house of Obama appointees. There is a gushing leak someplace, and purging as many Obama hold overs as possible is the best first step to try and plug it.

Sounds like were in the same general neighborhood Dan. No worries the new boss will pick up were Prett left off.

 

[dwa12479]

It's quite normal for incoming presidents to fire the entire lot of US Attorneys. They all do it. Preet did some good things for sure, but there's no chance he was ever gonna take down Monkey Face.
