Best response of the thread. Soon the left will be arguing that everyone should just be able to show up to the job they want and work whatever hours they desire.
They've tried this before, I remember a story where there was a Marxist coffee shop set up in one of their strongholds where they let the employees set their own schedules. It went out of business incredibly quickly.
Office Space is amazing! Another good one, that everyone here would probably REALLY love, is P.C.U. (short for Politically Correct University). One of my favorite films of all time!
My guess is Barr already asked him to resign and he refused earlier, hence the press release firing. And to think, Biden just stated he'd remove Trump by force if he loses the election and refuses to concede/leave the WH.
With all the leaking plus the weaponized IRS (looking at you Obama), if there was the slightest discrepancy, we would have seen it even before inauguration.
No. People are starting to throw around that word like the left throws around the word racist. It loses its real meaning when we accuse every person that does a shitty thing as being treasonous.
Treason is specific to war. What Bergman is doing bad, but it has nothing to do with treason.
Yup, sedition is the word that is the lesser offense than treason. A traitor is actively pursuing a plot to overthrow the state (usually involving an assasination of the head of state). Sedition is your general gumming up the works, sabotage, etc that we see from Obama holdovers and RINOs.
Treason
In law, treason is criminal disloyalty, typically to the state. It is a crime that covers some of the more extreme acts against one's nation or sovereign. This usually includes things such as participating in a war against one's native country, attempting to overthrow its government, spying on its military, its diplomats, or its secret services for a hostile and foreign power, or attempting to kill its head of state
Preet Bharara tried the same move in 2017. Pedes need to stop giving these knee jerk reactions every time something doesn’t immediately happen in government.
I have not resigned, and have no intention of resigning, my position,” Berman said. His statement came hours Attorney General Bill Barr said Berman was stepping down from his position.
My guess is Berman refuses to charge the rioters that the NYPD was forced to release without charges by corrupt Democrats. He better be fired immediately.
It’s worth keeping in mind that Berman’s office was the lead in several high profile cases assembled by Robert Mueller. Additionally, AG Barr brought in five+ outside U.S. attorney’s to review all of the Mueller cases as an outcome of the FISA court order to conduct a sequestration review of any/all evidence that might have been used as an outcome of the fraudulently obtained Carter Page FISA warrant.
"On March 10, 2017, U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions ordered all 46 remaining United States Attorneys who were holdovers from the Obama administration, including Bharara, to submit letters of resignation.[123] Bharara declined to resign and was fired the next day. ' wikipedia
Did people think that? He basically let Andrew Cuomo walk after taking down Sheldon Silver and Dean Skelos. If anyone had any faith in Bharra after that they were complete fools
Yet the senate renewed the patriot act and the FISA court nonsense. Secret courts and sealed warrants have no place in a free and open society. Get these fucktards out of here and take their tools away. This asshole will just replaced with another corrupt tool.
seems to be a recurring theme here with the "I can't research and think for myself" crowd; but whatever I only deliver the message, I am not responsible if people do not want to listen. The UDP of conservatism....
I bet-He caught him doing something illegal-He had ties to the Muller corruption, and he most likely gave up something to Barr, and stepped down. I hope he doesn't get suicide d' like Epstein.
Roger Stone was prosecuted for lying about a non-crime during an illegal investigation and Barr said that his prosecution was righteous, and that he was happy when Roger Stone was convicted.
McCabe was referred for criminal charges for repeatedly lying about actual crimes during a legitimate investigation and Barr inexplicably declined to prosecute him just like he declined to prosecute Comey and others.
Both of you are not in there know it seems. There are about 10-15 of these guys who are retiring in early July, on July 3. Barr has appointed a bunch of outside the Beltway US Attys to investigate the investigators, why do you think hes mandating the guy to quit/resign ? Its all about to go down.
We’re talking semantics here which while colloquially that’s what it means, technically it doesn’t. For being lawyers, some of our guys are real idiots. Leave no room for misinterpretation.
I read an article (Washington Examiner?) where, earlier in the day AG Barr had said he met with Berman. Barr had told him he should resign immediately - as President Trump already had picked Jay Clayton as his replacement - and that he had also suggested some lateral job assignments that he could fill.
AG Barr had the good grace to allow the idiot to step down and save face, but, of course, the commie throws a tantrum and runs to the "press."
I was surprised and quite disappointed by the press statement you released last night. As we discussed, I wanted the opportunity to choose a distinguished New York lawyer, Jay Clayton, to nominate as United States Attorney and was hoping for your cooperation to facilitate a smooth transition. When the Department of Justice advised the public of the President’s intent to nominate your successor, I had understood that we were in ongoing discussions concerning the possibility of your remaining in the Department or Administration in one of the other senior positions we discussed, including Assistant Attorney General for the Civil Division and Chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission. While we advised the public that you would leave the U.S. Attorney’s office in two weeks, I still hoped that your departure could be amicable.
Unfortunately, with your statement of last night, you have chosen public spectacle over public service. 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. By operation of law, the Deputy United States Attorney, Audrey Strauss, will become the Acting United States Attorney, and I anticipate that she will serve in that capacity until a permanent successor is in place. See 28 U.S.C. 541(c).
To the extent that your statement reflects a misunderstanding concerning how you may be displaced, it is well-established that a court-appointed U.S. Attorney is subject to removal by the President. See United States v. Solomon, 216 F. Supp. 835, 843 (S.D.N.Y. 1963) (recognizing that the “President may, at any time, remove the judicially appointed United States Attorney”); see also United States v. Hilario, 218 F.3d 19, 27 (1st Cir. 2000) (same). Indeed, the court’s appointment power has been upheld only because the Executive retains the authority to supervise and remove the officer.
Your statement also wrongly implies that your continued tenure in the office is necessary to ensure that cases now pending in the Southern District of New York are handled appropriately. This is obviously false. I fully expect that the office will continue to handle all cases in the normal course and pursuant to the Department’s applicable standards, policies, and guidance. Going forward, if any actions or decisions are taken that office supervisors conclude are improper interference with a case, that information should be provided immediately to Michael Horowitz, the Department of Justice’s Inspector General, whom I am authorizing to review any such claim. The Inspector General’s monitoring of the situation will provide additional confidence that all cases will continue to be decided on the law and the facts.
From this CTH piece, and President Trump stating that he is leaving the firing up to AG Barr (delegating his power to the AG's office), it appears Berman is now working for free.
Bush's AG, A. Gonzalez, fired New Mexico USA David Ignatius back in 2006(?), which was perfectly fine to everyone...other than the left claiming the President had no right to fire U.S. attorneys all at once.
I find it odd that there are no set in stone rules concerning the hiring and firing of either Senate confirmed, or interim/court appointed (as is Berman's case) U.S. attorneys.
He was actually 'appointed' to fill a vacancy under 28 U.S. Code § 546...my problem is that section empowers the Attorney General to make the temporary appointment. It looks like 'someone' at the District Court decided to use subsection D to make a temporary 'appointment'.
Trump can lawfully delegate special authority to AG Barr to accept the 'resignation' of SDNY Attorney Geoffrey Berman...
I'll bet you a Doughnut Berman 'implied' he'd resign and then pulled this switch to force GEOTUS to fire him just to set up another Clown Show for Pelosi and her attack Penguin Nadler...
Anyone here knowledgeable about the law on this? Apparently this guy was a court appointed replacement/interim U.S. Attorney and blue-checks in leftie-twitter is saying this therefore muddles the issue about who has power to remove him - that he can only be removed once a permanent replacement has been confirmed by the Senate.
Hopefully this isn't the case and this guy is just looking for some overtime on the 15-minutes of fame and adulation he garnered from liberals when persecuting anyone in Trump's orbit during the Mueller Coup attempt and he'll end up going the way of that chick who refused to leave the CFPB way back when. She eventuelly threw in the axe before the court process played itself out. Maybe this is a similar type of PR stunt.
Great! Another executive decision headed to the SCOTUS. Where Reeesist Roberts will declare that he definitely thinks the POTUS has no standing here, and the whiney scumbag will be given his job back with backpay and a raise. And a Swedish secretary and a new Audi.
I'm not stepping down nor resigning until they get a replacement approved. That way I have enough time to shred the Anthony Weiner and Jeffrey Epstein evidence.
I trust zero D.C. politicians; however, in order for President Trump to actually drain the Swamp, he must have non-swamp judges in place to see that justice is eventually served.
McConnell isn't a dumbass, and must see this long-term strategy playing out as well. It's mostly wishful thinking, and I sincerely hope it is the case.
Will he do a Stanton and barricade himself in his office? Will Federal Marshals have to frog-march him out of there? If so, I hope they get it all on film.
Berman is refusing to step down. Your move Barr.
Stop his paycheck, it’ll work itself out.
Lol
Best response of the thread. Soon the left will be arguing that everyone should just be able to show up to the job they want and work whatever hours they desire.
But I don't even really work here!
That's what makes this so difficult.
Shines shoes at the water cooler on the way out.
Has a basement office
Office Space.
...We fixed the glitch.
scoffs You're not Penske material!
Boss: Mr. Kramer, this report, its like you know absolutely nothing about business.
Kramer: We'll its been a rough week, kids and all...
Boss: Im sorry, but l have no choice but to let you go.
Kramer: Well, I don't actually work here
Boss: I know, that's what makes it all the more difficult.
LMAO
Seinfeld to George, in disgust: "And YOU wanna be my NY DA...!"
No escape. it's encoded in our neural nets.
Next week's new shingle:
Geoffrey Berman, Latex Salesman
Berman on Monday
They've tried this before, I remember a story where there was a Marxist coffee shop set up in one of their strongholds where they let the employees set their own schedules. It went out of business incredibly quickly.
Reminds me of the Panera bread location where the new menu price was “what ever you could afford...”
It also went out of business.
Hmm.. there seems to be a pattern here.
You mean the law school with racist name ?
WHY IS EVERYTHING IN AMERICA BUILT ON SLAVERY
Well be like Star Trek then. Just work to better ourselves. When do we get the jumpsuits and phasers?
I'll wear a velour shirt if I can get me one of those green dancing ladies
I think Vulcan females are pretty hot myself. Logic can be sexy.
We just have to eliminate scarcity by inventing matter synthesis/replicators first.
You on that?
Or “U R raycissss”
We fixed the glitch
We’re going to need him to move his desk back
Please don't lose my stapler.
We’re going to need him to relocate to the basement....
how about we just contact accounting and stop his paycheck and let it sort itself out?
Biden: this seats taken!
Okay... that’s the last straw though
Naga... naga... naganna work here anymore
Based on his past (lack of all) actions, the odds are in your favor!
Sad
Go watch Office Space movie.
Hilarious
Younger Jennifer Aniston
Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn.
She was adorable in that film.
Office Space is amazing! Another good one, that everyone here would probably REALLY love, is P.C.U. (short for Politically Correct University). One of my favorite films of all time!
Gutter is a tool!
Probably on Soros' payroll and doesn't need the government salary.
5am FBI raid, be sure to tell OAN ahead of time :)
Call in the S.W.A.T. team...
Social Workers and Therapists
Well played
Darn. You beat me to it.
WTF? This guy needs to be removed by force if this is his response. Seriously, WTF?
My guess is Barr already asked him to resign and he refused earlier, hence the press release firing. And to think, Biden just stated he'd remove Trump by force if he loses the election and refuses to concede/leave the WH.
Projection from the left at its finest.
So does Barr want him alive for questioning? The militia is ready to deal with insurrection.
We can hope Barr is firing him so he isn't a current DOJ employee when an indictment comes his way...
How many swampers still have clearances???
AG Barr is the boss, not this turd
Right. Sounds to me like Barr didn't even deal with this and just made a strongly worded letter that didn't even use the word fire or remove.
5am FBI raids for conservatives, "strongly" worded memos for Democrats.
Barr in a nutshell.
You would hope so, right?
If that was one of my reports, this guy would out the fucking building with his email locked up and fwd’d to me within 20 mins of this statement...
This is the AG of the USA we’re taking about.
Barr is weak.
"Bill Bar fired him because he was investigating Trump's tax returns" -CNN
Muh tax returns!
If Trump had anything illegal in his tax returns the IRS would have busted him and turned him over to Mueller a long time ago.
With all the leaking plus the weaponized IRS (looking at you Obama), if there was the slightest discrepancy, we would have seen it even before inauguration.
Berman released a statement tonight saying he will stay until the senate votes on his replacement....in other words mutiny.
Is Durham sniffing around Berman?
I hope Durham gave some dirt on this faggot to Barr so Barr can say "yes, you are leaving. immediately"
Hold in contempt of Trump
conTrumpt
This. Private sector you would be IMMEDIATELY removed. These Fed workers think they are gods.
Definitely DO NOT take his stapler. Stephen Root won in the end.
Treason?
No. People are starting to throw around that word like the left throws around the word racist. It loses its real meaning when we accuse every person that does a shitty thing as being treasonous.
Treason is specific to war. What Bergman is doing bad, but it has nothing to do with treason.

Thank you. It's starting to resemble that butterfly anime meme: "Is this treason?"
Preet Bharara tried the same move in 2017. Pedes need to stop giving these knee jerk reactions every time something doesn’t immediately happen in government.
Read the article. Hint, it answers your question.
Update: Bitch Boy is refusing to leave!
Warning article is cancer: https://apnews.com/56faebddd07e5fc3b349e3e3e30453b2
I’m not fired! LaLaLaLaLaLaLa
Archive it and post the archive link. These pieces of shit don't deserve any traffic from us.
Yes. Take note, everypede.
u/Scolopendra, here is an archive instead: https://archive.is/yAtBi
Doing God's work my man.
My guess is Berman refuses to charge the rioters that the NYPD was forced to release without charges by corrupt Democrats. He better be fired immediately.
Bye Bitch:
This
Feels like the Durham/FISA investigations might be turning into prosecutions based on the timing, assuming it actually comes to fruition.
Aah. Mueller infection + Carter Page FISA infection
Preet Bharara, who preceded Berman, did the same thing. He was immediately fired when he refused to resign.
Who was AG, then?
"On March 10, 2017, U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions ordered all 46 remaining United States Attorneys who were holdovers from the Obama administration, including Bharara, to submit letters of resignation.[123] Bharara declined to resign and was fired the next day. ' wikipedia
Wow. One good thing Sessions did. I’m honestly amazed.
color me surprised.
"I believe you have my stapler..."
I'll show up
What? I didn't quit! You took that seriously didn't you
he was removed. he is refusing to leave but he was removed.
Yeah not sure why people are saying this. They gave him an out by saying he resigned, if he wants to be fired, then he 100% can be.
lol I would not call the non stop full bore attacks from every angle for every single thing Trump has done "complaining".
They have been engaged in a non stop coup to remove my President
Just like with his predecessor Preet Bharara
I wouldn't put trust in anyone in the entire SDNY. I'm sure there are probably a few good apples, but the majority are likely all rotten.
Did people think that? He basically let Andrew Cuomo walk after taking down Sheldon Silver and Dean Skelos. If anyone had any faith in Bharra after that they were complete fools
Preeeeet Bhaha haha aaaaa ra....ra!
Berman is a legal firewall, I bet.
They have to remove him to get visibly.
He’s staying on why?
Shredders go BRRRRRRRRRRRR
Digital files don't need shredders.... They're wiping them... with a cloth or something.
Yet the senate renewed the patriot act and the FISA court nonsense. Secret courts and sealed warrants have no place in a free and open society. Get these fucktards out of here and take their tools away. This asshole will just replaced with another corrupt tool.
Damn straight. I’d rather take my chances with the terrorists. At least they’re not pretending to be on my side.
seems to be a recurring theme here with the "I can't research and think for myself" crowd; but whatever I only deliver the message, I am not responsible if people do not want to listen. The UDP of conservatism....
The prick is refusing to resign.
We must go deeper.
GET
OUT
OUT OUT OUT AND TAKE HIS COAT
But muh tax returns, muh Russian collusion!!!
I bet-He caught him doing something illegal-He had ties to the Muller corruption, and he most likely gave up something to Barr, and stepped down. I hope he doesn't get suicide d' like Epstein.
He's refusing to step down, so likely Barr asked him to resign, he refused, so Barr publicly fired him.
Nope. He already told Barr to get fucked and that he's not stepping down.
Wow. It is happening.
NOW, The Dems don't want an election?
He is saying no, but Trump has the authority to fire him. SOOOOOO
Ah, but you didn't ask the Hawaiian judge yet.
Barr is well aware and does not care.
Roger Stone was prosecuted for lying about a non-crime during an illegal investigation and Barr said that his prosecution was righteous, and that he was happy when Roger Stone was convicted.
McCabe was referred for criminal charges for repeatedly lying about actual crimes during a legitimate investigation and Barr inexplicably declined to prosecute him just like he declined to prosecute Comey and others.

He just fired the damned faggot. What are you on about?
No he didn't he asked him to resign and he said no.
Whether you care to believe it or not, when your boss says you have tendered your resignation, you have just been fired.
We’re talking semantics here which while colloquially that’s what it means, technically it doesn’t. For being lawyers, some of our guys are real idiots. Leave no room for misinterpretation.

Good grace is what’s allowed conservatives to be taken advantage of for 50 years.
Here's the latest in this soap opera.
Today's response from AG Barr.
From this CTH piece, and President Trump stating that he is leaving the firing up to AG Barr (delegating his power to the AG's office), it appears Berman is now working for free.
Bush's AG, A. Gonzalez, fired New Mexico USA David Ignatius back in 2006(?), which was perfectly fine to everyone...other than the left claiming the President had no right to fire U.S. attorneys all at once.

Buh bye!
"Trump wont leave office if he loses"
prominent liberal swamp monster refuses to leave office after being fired
This argument is irrelevant after Hillary, they're just hypocrites, fuck them.
I wish Barr would say" you're a political hack and you're fired"
Dude says, "nope, you can't fire me!"
https://twitter.com/SDNYnews/status/1274178732476059650
Isn't Berman a Trump appointee? This is bizarre.
Rosenstein appointee
So was Gorsuch
Pack his desk and toss him out. If he resists pound him
NOW at last I can sleep well at night. been worrying about this guy every night.
Isn’t happening. Not yet anyway. Standoff in effect
Judges appointing US Attorney's? When did this start happening?
Never, he's just a dem piece of shit who is trying to avoid admitting that he was appointed by the president and confirmed by the senate.
He was actually 'appointed' to fill a vacancy under 28 U.S. Code § 546...my problem is that section empowers the Attorney General to make the temporary appointment. It looks like 'someone' at the District Court decided to use subsection D to make a temporary 'appointment'.
Thanks for the relevant section reference!
I think 28 USC § 541, subsection (c) does still trump § 546 (d)
so Barr potentially can't fire the guy, but GEOTUS sure can
https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/28/541
Trump can lawfully delegate special authority to AG Barr to accept the 'resignation' of SDNY Attorney Geoffrey Berman...
I'll bet you a Doughnut Berman 'implied' he'd resign and then pulled this switch to force GEOTUS to fire him just to set up another Clown Show for Pelosi and her attack Penguin Nadler...
Most likely he was sworn in by a judge, but stated he was appointed by a judge because he had an attack of the vapors.

Could he be dirty? Going after pro-Trump individuals for crimes like campaign finance and Rudy Giuliani associates. Was he intentionally bungling the Epstein case? https://www.newsweek.com/trump-replace-us-attorney-probing-rudy-giuliani-jeffrey-epstein-1512309
He. Could. Go. All. The. Way...back to chasing ambulances
I trust zero D.C. politicians; however, in order for President Trump to actually drain the Swamp, he must have non-swamp judges in place to see that justice is eventually served.
McConnell isn't a dumbass, and must see this long-term strategy playing out as well. It's mostly wishful thinking, and I sincerely hope it is the case.
We’ll be in the middle of Star Trek - The Next Generation before Trump has his own cabinet.
Russian collusion, Ukrainian phone calls. Looks like another witch-hunting operation was cut off at the knees.
Fuck entrenched bureaucrats inventing crimes and misusing their power to attack the duly elected president!
Will he do a Stanton and barricade himself in his office? Will Federal Marshals have to frog-march him out of there? If so, I hope they get it all on film.
We’re gonna need you to move down to storage.
I would fucking love if Barr responded "oh so you're not resigning. Find your fucking fired get out of the office by 5 p.m."
"Take his pants off!"
Change the locks, stop the paycheck... Berman can end up looking for his red stapler while working in the basement
It's all funny. But in reality this is a revolution happening.
These people lack character.
Lest we forget, this idiot was nominated by Sessions.
He didn't remove him and he didn't resign. This is fucking dinner show theater. Barr needs to go
This is a trump/Jeff sessions. Sessions was the single worst thing to ever happen t
