Securities and Exchange Commission Chairman Jay Clayton said Thursday that he first spoke two weeks ago with Trump administration officials about becoming the top federal prosecutor in Manhattan and defended his credentials for the job.
Under repeated questions from Democratic lawmakers at a House hearing, Mr. Clayton revealed some previously undisclosed details about the Trump administration’s decision to nominate him as the next Manhattan U.S. attorney. Mr. Clayton would succeed Geoffrey Berman, who was removed last week...
so many qualified career prosecutors folks to choose from. Another fail
He has no credentials. But if you need someone to aid and abet Barr and Trump’s obstruction of justice, he’s your Huckleberry!
If you don't have extensive experience as a prosecutor, then you do NOT belong in the top Fed prosecutor role. This is exactly why BetsyDeVosED sucks at her job, and Ivanka and Jared, and Trump for that matter! None of them have relevant experience and it SHOWS BIGLY!
His credential: Wify works for goldman sachs.
He's never been a prosecutor. What credentials?
At one time, the SEC Chair was one of the most powerful and prestigious offices in government. But decades of donations have motivated legislators to defanged the SEC to the point where being a US Attorney is now substantially better for ambitious bureaucrats. Sad!
Get theeeeee fuuuuucccck outttttaaaa heeeerrreee
When Donald Trump installed Bill Barr, I thought for sure Trump would be led out of the White House in hand cuffs.
Fuck NO.
He has NO credituals, so in GOPLand he is perfect for the job.
He has exactly the right credentials. He's a golf buddy of Trumps. He's also friends with Trumps cronies. Never mind he's never prosecuted a case. That's irrelevant in Barr's DOJ. He'll do their bidding. That's the job requirement.
He has no credentials.
😡😡😡😡😡
Charles Manson had better credentials than this clown has for that job.
His crime ? Playing golf with Pres. Trump.
What credentials? Aside for a law degree, he has none.
He didn't get the job cause he decided to wear a mask

How Bill Barr's Manhattan transfer went awryAttorney General Bill Barr announced Friday that Geoffrey Berman, the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York, was stepping down from his job, effective immediately. There was just one hiccup: Berman hadn’t actually resigned. Bill Barr agrees to testify in front of Congress on July 28th. Not now, not within a couple of weeks-July 28th. Know what comes out to the public on July 28th too? Mary Trump’s book. This is not a coincidence—it’s planned distraction. But then he did... Crazy what can happen when you lie and commit crimes?

Dems urge Trump's new pick for SDNY to withdraw from considerationDemocrats urge Pres. Trump's new pick for U.S. attorney in the Southern District of New York to withdraw from consideration. BREAKING: “We rig the game so it can work on the left side…Freedom of speech is the main one” – Jose Moreno, Content Moderator – Facebook ExposeFacebook Waste of time. Just shutdown the illegal Trump investigations and get on with life. Bolton and a lot of others say, 'Trump only thinks of reelection.' Wrong. It is far less complicated. He is screwing up his reelection. Trump does not know others exist. He does not think. He only wants. He wants the world to bend to what he wants. Read:

Manhattan prosecutor pick ducks questions about Barr's job offerPresident Trump and Bill Barr first learned last weekend that their chosen replacement for the Manhattan U.S. attorney wanted the job, that person told Congress on Thursday SenatorCantwell PattyMurray you can’t let this guy get approved. It has been reported that Berman was offered two positions...SEC chairman (yeh....) or chief if civil divisiin depr of justice. Bermasn declined both and was subsequently fired. Seems so odd that someone whose legal career never involved prosecuting crime would want to venture into a high profile job requiring a totally different skill set.
