so why did i think sdny operated independently?  aren’t there parts of that office not under barr’s thumb?

Nope.

But US Attorneys are subject to Senate confirmation.

Now, to continue the BIllions analogy, a guy like Oliver Dake

Comes from the DOJ Office of the Inspector General, which is supposed to be outside the normal chain of command, but still at least nominally under the control of the AG.

But, we've seen how it goes with OIGs in the Trump Administration.

Apparently they are too independent for Barr's liking. They want a stooge and the stooge they picked has no prosecutorial experience. WTF? How fucking blatant is this pick? Stinks to high heaven.

#16905

senate confirmation lol. 

we don’t really do that type of thing anymore. 

so who from sdny will be investigating trump on jan 21?

We're one bad election result from becoming a fully fascist state.

If this fucker wins, or successfully steals it, we're going to find out that this is him on his best behavior, this is him reeled in and being handled and managed, and then once he no longer has another election to win, we're gonna find out what he's really capable of.  And it's going to be as bad a chapter as there is in any nation's history.

As soon as Biden takes his hand off the Bible, he needs to fire all Trump appointees to the DOJ. He can be late to the inaugural balls.

Apparently his cooperation with the New York attorney generals office did not go over well with Barr 

#16915

this is getting good, in real time. preet and coates calling this a “game of chicken” that they’ve never seen before. 

i assume the confirmation process will take a bit longer than trump/barr are comfortable with. 

#16917

It is better than a game of chicken. They will have to tell the court why they want to fire him. I don't think those fucks want to mess with lying to the courts or providing them with the real reason. hahaha 

#16919
For those lawyers out there, what can be done to protect any current investigations that maybe under threat with this move by the admin?

In the John Grisham version of this story a law student has written a brief and there’s copies of of shit being made.
#16920

It seems as though Barr/Trump can’t fire him.

Because they went around usual procedures to avoid Senate confirmation, they’ve screwed themselves.

they’re also saying this might be a decision that ends up at...the exact court that assigned him in the first place.

Why one bad election away?  We are a fascist state.  We just haven't come to terms with it yet, and pretend we're "free."

Like McConnell and all of the Senate toadies won't have someone confirmed by the lunch break on Monday.

are the chickens FINALLY coming home to roost for these crooked cocksuckers?

nope.  nothing of consequence will happen, and everyone will be on to the next act of illegality, treason, or blatant racism by the Trump admin in a week’s time, repeat.  

#16936

there really does need to be some comeuppance for continually having everyone “acting” and never actually “confirming” anyone. It’s supposed to be an exception, not the rule. 

this would be sweet revenge if they can’t fire him, for, you know, investigating the president.

Friday night massacre ... interesting they are using the official twitter account...

Knowing how the people in Trump's orbit operate, he definitely voted by mail in ballot in a state he didn't live in

How long will it take Ken Burns to unfold all this for the PBS docu-series? And how many episodes will it take to tell the story?

Something is off in the description - is the leak from a SC Justice Clerk or someone else at the Supreme Court?  Has SC Clerk quality fallen that low? If it's a clerk, his or her days as a lawyer are over.  

Thanks for posting it LABEVO - interesting piece of news.
