Is there an Attorney shortage?

They're "courtesy resignations." The incoming administration asks for them. If you're a presidential appointee, you tender yours. The new boss may, or may not, accept your resignation, but it'd be highly unusual if he didn't.

EVERY appointee knows this. Every one. This has been SOP since 1789. At one time not long ago-- may still be the case, I don't know-- if a career .gov employee accepted a "at pleasure" presidential appointment, s/he had to sign a notice acknowledging the same.

I don't care if Bharara cures cancer with his tears. He's a holdover; he resigns, or he's initiated into the Order of the Boot. You CANNOT let the hired help dictate terms.

The attorney is grandstanding for publicity to run for an office in the near future. And did we forget this is the guy that prosecuted Dinesh Dsousa? A purely political persecution.

When it happened in 1993, no one cared.

quote:
The broadcast network evening newscasts, which didn't care in 1993 about the Clinton administration's decision to ask for the resignation of all 93 U.S. attorneys, went apoplectic Tuesday night in leading with the "controversy," fed by the media, over the Bush administration for replacing eight U.S. attorneys in late 2006 -- nearly two years after rejecting the idea of following the Clinton policy of replacing all the attorneys. Anchor Charles Gibson promised that ABC would "look at all the angles tonight," but he skipped the Clinton comparison. Gibson teased: "New controversy at the White House after a string of U.S. attorneys is fired under questionable circumstances. There are calls for the Attorney General to resign." CBS's Katie Couric declared that "the uproar is growing tonight over the firing of eight federal prosecutors by the Justice Department" and fill-in NBC anchor Campbell Brown teased: "The Attorney General and the firestorm tonight over the controversial dismissal of several federal prosecutors. Was it political punishment?" Brown soon asserted that "it's a story that has been brewing for weeks and it exploded today" -- an explosion fueled by the news media.

Every last obama employee down to even the janitors needs to go.

Every last one is a potential saboteur.

This has been proven since Jan 20 with the traitors leaking info to the communist press.

I didn't realize that. It was for sure a purely political persecution. I saw it at the time as a sign-- one among many-- of the rising Obama/Democrat Party totalitarianism.

"Can't see the forest for the trees" when focusing on bharara.

The only individual in the entire administration that Can't be replaced is Trump.

It is absolutely politics and he absolutely needed to go. As an Obama loyalist he is by definition part of the swamp. You think Obama didn't dismiss Bush holdovers? Give me a break.

Don't worry, I'm sure he'll surface in some liberal law firm sueing the Trump administration over something frivolous.

I'm not certain any of this is a good idea on an individual basis, but cleaning house has seemed like a good idea for a long time. I hope the decent replacements outnumber the decent losses.

You're not going to ever second guess your elected leader? That's a scary mindset for democracy.

Being able to do that is one of the things that makes this country amazing; it should be considered a civic duty.

Right now, you can do your civic duty by sticking a sock in it. Stop making a huge deal out of a simple statement, and you know what you can do with this "scary mindset" horse shit. If anything at all is "scary" it's you trying to make something bad out of an American saying they support their President.

This is Trump country, pard.

VICTIM is the key word here. Another liberal has been declared a victim and will thus become a hero to the left.

No sympathy here. He could have accepted it and resigned but no, he had to be a public drama queen.

Trump, in turn, attempted to initiate contact with Preet on the day preceding the resignations demand.

Preet than assumed a grandiose stance by citing "rules" barring him from talking to the President. While the media does not seem to be privy to the details which Trump wished to discuss, it may very well be that Preet would have been offered the chance to retain his previously extended tenure.

It was Preet's high stance which most probably brought him to the ground.

A show of support and a blind following are two very different things. I have no problem with showing support. Hell, you think I voted for Clinton? Questioning these things is how we make things better. If things weren't second guessed or questioned, we'd have President Clinton now.

If someone hadn't been willing to question Obama, I'm sure your reaction would not have been to defend their show of support for their President.

I will withdrawal from further comment in this thread.

100% agree and chances are they were never really necessary to begin with! Obama raised his employment figures by hiring federal jobs mostly all bullshit waste of $$$$
