"Unfortunately, with your statement of last night, you have chosen public spectacle over public service," Barr said in his letter to Berman."Because you have declared that you have no intention of resigning, I have asked the President to remove you as of today, and he has done so."But Trump said Saturday he wasn't involved with the decision."Well, that's all up to the attorney general.
" On Friday evening, Barr said he intends to nominate as Berman's permanent successor Jay Clayton, the chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission, who has never been a prosecutor.
He serves at the pleasure of the President and was leaking classified information. Guess what - he needs to be charged and jailed.
The swamp will be drained when trump is gone
This is how dictators run their country ! Either you're with me or I fire you 🤔
BS..Barr needs to be removed & so do you.
If his idiot followers can't understand he fired the guy investigating him ....all is lost.
Another swamp creature bites the dust. Nice Job AG Barr,
Heard realDonaldTrump disputed it? Said it was up to Barr to do it?
Factcheck.
Corruption
SOOO he'll be the next expert , and unbiased, panel expert...
I thought only dictators fired dissenters and tried to lock up their opponents? Oh yeah, I forgot...
Good Lord
Barr needs to be called in front of the Jouse this week and he better have written proof of all of this BS, and why Berman was fired!!
Very suspicious....!!!
Then he is NOT fired. Good. I hope he is pursuing SDNY'S investigations at warp speed.
Seattle police say a 'violent crowd' prevented them reaching two shooting victims -- one whom later died -- inside the city's autonomous protest zone Saturday. CrapNN
Trump & Barr are traitors
Trump still think he is on the set of The Apprentice...smh!
Still can’t take responsibility, huh? Oh boy, will we have four more years of Pence if you’re re-elected and sick?
GoodmanHoops Judicial branch fired him. Trump did not have that power
Good riddance!
Dictatorship much?
ImpeachBarr ImpeachBarr ImpeachBarr ImpeachBarr ImpeachBarr ImpeachBarr Help Spread the Word...
Is there anyone he hasn’t fired from his staff He likes to fire everyone!
Of course he's involved. He's a crime boss and Bill Barr is his fixer. They're doing whatever they can to undermine democracy, sabotage the judicial system and rig everything imaginable for other wealthy sociopaths--all at the expense of his stupid worthless cultist voters.
Trump Barr. Pence needs thrown out on their ears !! They have mishandled our country long enough. Not against republicans so much as against trump and their lies and dishonesty!! Time for change!
Is Susan Collins distressed, disturbed or alarmed?
How do you fire someone and not be involved?
So if the President says “I’m not involved” why is LOPSIDED BIASED CNN saying the President fired him? O yea because their biased. Got it. They accuse him of lying when in fact THEY ARE THE LIARS. Now ya got it?
Both Trump and Barr are alot like bloodfarts. Even long after their disgusting stench is gone it will still take a very long time to get the stains out.

If Trump says he is not involved that means Barr is a liar and does not have the authority to fire Berman.
'now is the time for all good lawyers to come to the aid of their country'
Berman AG Barr letter: Berman offered other positions, but has now been fired “Because you have declared that you have no intention of resigning, I have asked the President to remove you...” CBSNews
They really need to get their lies in line before going in front of the cameras.
Is this effectively a fascist dictatorship? Where does the army stand, with the fascists or with the Constitution? Should US allies expel US army and diplomatic staff? I'm just asking questions.
Legally, it's possible Trump had to be the one who fired him, but that doesn't mean it was his decision. It could have been Barr's decision handed to Trump. What difference does it make? Regardless of who fired him, he's fired, and that's what counts.
the courage and care of life has been fired! USA:what's next? fire the social construction of democracy?
Trump's Exact words: 'I have nothing to do with it'. BARR must RESIGN immediately! He lies to get Berman fired. SenateDems SenateGOP SpeakerPelosi RepAdamSchiff SenSchumer ChuckGrassley NYGovCuomo MSNBC maddow ImpeachBarr IStandWithBerman TrumpResignNow
Obstruction of justice AGAIN!
This is where we at guys
We’ll hear the truth tonight. How many would bet CNN got it wrong, again.
Drain the swamp
Trump will never testify under oath to confirm or deny this, so existing statements will have to suffice. Impeach Barr. He's lying - in writing - to a US attorney.
A.G. Barr said it was today that he asked President Trump to fire him.
From the top group of corrupt liars
who believes in Trump believes in elves
Well, now that the prosecutor has no obligation to the job, I guess he's free to do what he wants....
Do it just prior to the Trump Circus, not as many will notice and Media will have plenty from the Tulsa Informercial.
So what. CNN are full of shit.
Yea. I tink we herd da b4!
senatemajldr LindseyGrahamSC marcorubio SenSusanCollins Any of the GOP Senators home? Are you still in the country or already moved to Russia? Any comments you Traitors?
Can't wait to read his book!
“Powerful”, ha!
Thanks Trump for firing this a-hole.
Barr can’t do it as Berman is court appointed, it has to be trump...btw, trump needs to use the WH Attny to do this and not the DOJ & dotard says he's not involved.
He must have been getting close to exposing trump. barr and trump are two dirty shameful people
🤣🤣🤣 in his words.. I'M NOT GOING ANYWHERE..ok delusional you just recieved the AXE🪓. When a superior in a job tells you something you do it. Undermining = 🔥 fired. Trump 2020 got good measure. Both sides cry about political gain. Get over it.
Do not report any of their statements as fact. Barr and Trump repeatedly lie and you continue to it cover it with this bias.
How’d you like the way Berman (didn’t) handling of Epstein - what’s up with that?
Why use the word “Powerful”? Just trying to understand the significance.
....And the FIRED list keeps GROWING! Next FIRE Barr then FIRE yourself! Job complete!
Get his a$$ out there Trump 2020 👍👍
WOW! Crook in chief of the United States fires someone investigating him and his pals? How low doeas the country must fall before everyone jumps up and says ENOUGH?
America needs to take a long hard look at what is happening. An Attorney investigating Trump, gets fired by Trump! What is wrong with that statement!? realDonaldTrump is the most corrupt President in U.S. history. ResignNowTrump
Trump only wants people who kisses his ass and praises him not people who are going to do the right thing for america
Take out the trash
It‘s getting better and better. Civil War on it‘s way! At least you folks have enough weapons to fight for a long time.
Good
Yea he’s transparent alright!!! Despicable!
Corrupt WH. Barr is goon. He will have his day and it won’t be good.
Trump and Barr Obstruction!!
GoodmanHoops Awesome!
He just said he has nothing to do with it. So which is it?
I hear screeching.
lets hope Barr and Trump get their lies unveiled before the year is over
Would love to know who Berman was protecting in the Epstein matter.
Wow
chrisjohnson82 Trump says otherwise.
Absolutely disgusting! We must put Trump and Barr in prison and all that enabled him! This must be a priority of the Biden Administration! This cancer that has invaded our Democracy must be defeated at all cost!
You fire people who are wasting their time on bs investigations! Too bad we can’t fire schiff and pelosi!
Are Americans paying attention to the uravelling of a justice system under the pretense of preserving law & order? Barr belongs behind bars! This henchman is the designated driver of a vehicle that has driven America off course & over the cliff! POWER is the root of all evil!
Trump seems to be running a criminal empire with Barr helping to destroy our democracy. Trump is against honest hard working Americans, he is lining his pockets with our American Tax dollars. He gives graft to his rich friends, Barr is a disgrace. They should all be put in jail.
Why are you so mad guys He's just covering his tracks 👣
I hope Berman spent all day preserving evidence and leaking it everywhere.
Drain the swamp
Has USA Berman been fired until realDonaldTrump himself fires him? I don't think so. Bill Barr acts like he is POTUS. ImpeachBarr
Barr is to Trump as Hans Frank was to Hitler. If this doesn’t worry any US citizen, then it should, this is serious corruption and obstruction of justice, impeach Barr now.
FIRE BARR
Don't let the door hit the swamp creature on the way out 😂😂😂🚪
It’s easier to dismantle than build.
Powerful prosecutor 😂😂 political hack serves at the pleasure of the President
All suspect and disgusting!
Just because two wrongs don't make a right... more wrongs won't change anything. THIS / THESE types of actions MUST STOP... and be prevented.
Unbelievable corruption and abuse of power!!!!
He cant
He needs to release everything he has before he leaves to the public. See if they like it. I smell cover up
Good for him! Make Trump go on the record as a dictator! We need Trump gone!
I sincerely hope that Geoffrey Berman verifies all of this thru the District Court, and does not take either trump or Barr's word for it. Neither is to be trusted. Once a liar and manipulator, never trusted.
Y'all are going to jail. Just keep putting your names on more treasons activities. We've got time. I can't wait to see Mr. Donald in a jump suit that matches his hair.
Well, it is Saturday...
When his book ?
It is happening to our country...make no mistake:
