WSJ News Exclusive | Attorney General Barr, Berman at Odds Over Letter Criticizing New York City Mayor

The day before Attorney General William Barr abruptly announced plans to replace Geoffrey Berman as the Manhattan U.S. Attorney, supervisors in Mr. Barr’s Justice Department asked Mr. Berman to sign a letter criticizing New York Mayor Bill de Blasio for the city’s enforcement of social-distancing rules to block religious gatherings but not recent street protests, people familiar with the matter said.

Mr. Berman refused to sign the letter Thursday, after engaging in a brief back-and-forth drafting process, the people said....

Wait and watch without any action and reaction .u will get ur Ans Sir.relax.

Can the DOJ and Barr pick a story and stick with it?

Barr accuses NY Mayor de Blassio of enforcing social distance rules to block religious gathererings but not Black Lives Matter protests. AG Berman refused to play along. What a farce, rotten trap, sham. Barr's political career is over 👎soon as Trump hits the pavement

Barr disgraces himself yet again. It’s like he’s been channeling the ghost of John Mitchell.

Nice try WSJ coming up with performance excuse for the fire.

That the fat bastard Barr still has any role in public life is a miserable indictment of how far the US democracy has sunk...

Trump to retire

Smoking paper!

Bye

WilliamBarr is a disgrace to the Justice Department. Why is Lindsey Graham Silent? LindseyGrahamSC Why is Mitch McConnel Silent senatemajldr TheJusticeDept

If realDonaldTrump did not fire Berman than he's technically NOT fired. BillBarr Can't fire SDNY Attorney General, ONLY Congress or the president.

send in the clowns there ought to be clowns don't worry they're here

Raise you hand if you believe anything Barr says.

joshjame Bill Barr and Trump knifed Berman for being an independent thinker and not giving into groupthink. Interesting!

You are kidding right...not even bothering with the ole “undisclosed sources”... now “People said” is good enough for a Headline...Credibility is important...Journalism needs the paddles !!🧤

I guess we’re now a nation of men, not laws. What a shame to be losing a bedrock of America.

Clayton wanted a new job and thought leading the SDNY would get him closer to home and Barr's job as a replacement. Helps to have a civil enforcement expert run a criminal prosecutions if you want the government to not prosecute. Two birds, one bad appointment.

Good thing they fired his ass

Ok !

Was he supposed to?

Send in federal marshals to escort him from the building today — the President has the constitutional authority to fire him

“...Mr. Berman stepping aside from the powerful Manhattan federal prosecutor’s office after President Trump fired him.” y’all need to stop saying that because according to trump he didn’t fire him🤷‍♀️

I don’t get how Trump can legally fire someone who is actively investigating him...

Integrity, in this economy?

Street protests had nearly full mask use and are outside . Religious gatherings are inside with minimal mask use where the majority of transmission happens . Big difference . “People familiar with the matter “ is that Barr ?

Ideologues in this position? BIG NOPE!

The American people aren't stupid. Corona comes and goes according to the political agenda of the far-left.

Okay

Trump fires Geoffrey Berman, top federal prosecutor in Manhattan after he refused to resign, Barr saysAttorney General William Barr informed Geoffrey Berman that President Donald Trump was removing him from office after the prosecutor refused to resign. Corruption by the Trump administration. Obama purged all such offices when he took office. Both sides please. Your bias is showing. Trump is in the manufacturing of untruth business. He’ll come up with anything that serves his interest. Question is what are GOP operatives going to do about it? Trump can’t execute his deceptions alone. Go after Trump’s enablers (esp. Barr). Trump is a lost cause.
