"But when you have a card carrying dem,if that's who he was,going after the Mayor of NYC..."

Going after, and actually prosecuting someone are two different things. Who knows if he would have ever brought charges. He'd been investigating Cuomo too, but perhaps this guy was putting his resume together in pursuit of something bigger down the road.

Preet is an attention whore who has been a selective shark. Some he went after ruthlessly and others he allowed to skate.

...............

That's very true,I noted that in a comment.

Here's the problem if you are a partisan hack, as he is accused of being, you don't go after the biggest mayor of the biggest city in the country who is a member of your party!Bll Deblasio. Much less the Governor as well who is also a dem!

It just does not happen in political circles.

Maybe but if he does Preet does not seem to know about them.
No,this is my fault for not digging deep enough. I have missed a key issue that is causing both Sessions and president Trump to fire this guy after a seemingly stellar career.I’ll find out what it is.

But, if someone tells you they plan to keep you on in NOv. and then in March they ask you to leave. Is it right to question it?

Judge Pirro reported that the Trump administration denied that they planned on keeping Bharara.

Check out post #22 I like the Wash.Times better as a source. I saw the Daily news piece but don’t trust them as much as I do the Times.

I just watched the video of Pirro and the fat pig Koko. How the hell did she know there were over 2,800 pings between Russian banks and Trump’s server? Who is this woman, and why is she in possession of information regarding all the investigations Bharara is working on? So much for confidentiality during investigations. The more I hear, the more this Bharara stinks to high heavens.

Perhaps Bharara’s resignation was requested for no other reason than to make it a complete sweep and a new start….if the review of potential candidates for incoming U.S. Attorneys showed that Bharara was worthy of bringing back on, then that option was always a possibility and perhaps that was always the intent. However, now that Bharara has made such a fuss about this, he may have just moved himself from the front to the back of the line…..

From what i read his case was so good on Cuomo that Cuomo started ratting on some really big names and did the witness thing that criminals do when they are caught red-handed. No,I'm missing something. This is my error.

Here is the culminsation of the cuomo porsecution.they get silver instead:

...................

"Silver is a longtime power broker, and, along with Governor Andrew Cuomo and Senate Majority Leader Dean Skelos, one of the three most powerful public officials in the state. In Albany, the trio is often referred to as the "three men in a room" who run New York.

His arrest was shocking not just because the assembly speaker has held his position for 20 years, but also because he’s a Democrat. Bharara, nominated for his position by Barack Obama and previously employed as an aide to Democratic senator Chuck Schumer, is digging into his own team.

BuzzFeed editor Ben Smith described the indictment as “a dramatic and unusual move, a step far across the invisible lines that often constrain appointed prosecutors.” (Smith labeled Bharara “the most dangerous man in American politics”; Vanity Fair editor Graydon Carter has previously described him as “very much a hero of our times.”)"

http://www.vanityfair.com/news/2015/01/preet-bharara-silver-corruption

I can't find the actual statement that I read earlier but supposedly the Silver prosecution is due to Cuomo spilling the beans on him.

If that’s the case than a lot of publications got it all wrong in November.And it was a real stretch for Preet to do a press conference after meeting with Trump,makes no sense.
I’m missing something.

That may be what I am missing. Maybe Baharara was leaking big time,seems out of character but you never know.

Bharara is slick enough to have seen all that coming,hence the Nov. meeting.If there was no November meeting Bharara’s actions would seem bizarre even childish. But, keeping that in mind you have to wonder,what else is going on.

“Makes no sense,something else is going on that no one has figured out yet.”

I do believe that Trump/Sessions have information that we do not.

Good point. Sounds like some leaking going on.

I live in New York State, but haven’t been following anything about Cuomo. It was always speculation that one of the reasons Mario Cuomo never ran for President was because of his ties to organized crime. He was a lousy Governor, and his son is no better. As of January this year, Silver’s still out of bail awaiting appeal. So much for justice.
