Attorney General William Barr announced late Friday that Berman would be stepping down from New York’s Southern District, but Berman quickly responded that he had “no intention of resigning.” Berman was then fired on Saturday.

Democrats Call For Investigation Into Firing Of U.S. Attorney Geoffrey Berman | NBC Nightly News

Anybody can write a report. Most of them are together on both side.
How many investigations are ongoing at any one time with the US government. I’ll bet it’s a really high number. That’s all you need to know about the swamp of this government.
And he claimed that he was draining the swamp. He has created the largest swamp in US history!
when that comes back to him he will say “I didn’t do it Obama did” guess if you can’t get the prosecutor to spot investigating and doing his job then get rid of him and the path is clear tada just like that no more problems I’m curios to know what he was working on that it was ask to move aside.
Be sure to fire Trump in November. Vote Blue.
Yeah ,nobody will vote commie .
Black Lives Matter, unless of course, you are shot by another BLM member in Chop, or if you’re in Chicago.
LET GET TO THE LETTER THAT BARR WANTED THE
AG BERMAN TO SIGN TO
GO AGAINST THE MAYOR
BLASIO ON THE HEALTH
RESTRICTIONS ON SOCIAL DISTANCES..WILLIAM BARR IS NOTHING MORE
THAN A TRUMP PUPPET..THERE NEEDS TO BE A SPECIAL COUNSEL INVESTIGATION..THEY APPOINTED A MAN A
PROSECUTORS JOB SOMETHING HE HAS NEVER DONE …NOTHING MORE THAN PAY TO PLAY…HOW MUCH HAS HE GIVEN TO THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN..ANY THING TRUMP TOUCHES DIES..IT’S THE JUSTICE
SYSTEM THEY ARE DESTROYING…IF HOROWITZ GOT HIS HANDS ON THE CRIME SCENE THERE’S ROOM IN A FEDERAL PRISON FOR HIM..ALSO….DO THESE
PEOPLE NOT KNOW THEY ARE COMMITTING A CRIMINAL ACT..MR NADLER NEEDS TO FILE A
WRIT TO THE COURT THAT APPOINTED MR.
BERMAN..THESE PROSECUTORS, JUDGES, ATTORNEYS, PEOPLE WHO WORKED TO EARN TO BE
HONORABLE PEOPLE NOT GOING TO ACCEPT
THIS WILLIAM BARR MADNESS…
The Republican senate is too lazy to impeach Barr because it’s a waste of time. How is it that police officers can be charged within 72 hours and it takes months to impeach someone in the DoJ? Justice matters!
And if my government doesnt throw this corrupt dirtbag into prison when hes out of office – wait make that both these dirtbags We will see a revolution. Guaranteed.
If you want to understand why Barr had to move against Berman, just look at two cases that died under Berman: Podesta & Epstein
“Hey, here’s my idea fellow Lefties. If any Republican does anything that we don’t like, let’s fabricate stories about them and call them names. Great!”
Grow up, little boy.
@Make Racists Afraid Again Didn’t like it, huh? Contact your local communist representative. Anything run by Dems is a shambles… bahahaha!
This is my solution pass it on. No actually you have been the puppet I never had any strings and never fell for the lies but at least now if you watch these videos you will understand the truth the Dem politicians have been hiding from you while tugging at your strings. This hottie deserves an award. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jOjZOazSplA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2uzFL5y4yLQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RQ3Bdi0FZeM
@Joe Gerr Another false projection. I’m not going to look at another piece of the communist propaganda. Shouldn’t you just move to Cuba or Venezuela? I hear the weather is great. Is that how you win people over? You insult them?
Why so many lies from the Trump administration? These people are obviously taking American citizens for a joy ride.
Did it really take you this long to figure it out? 38 Million Canadians, 66 Million Brits, 25 Million Australians and pretty much all of Western Europe has known how corrupt Trump and his administration have been – for a very long time. If you don’t get rid of this creep and his cronies in November, the USA will lose whatever friends and allies they still have. That number is dwindling every day.
Ahaaaa something is up? Ok use my tax dollars into this investigation. I give you permission.
I think ‘Halkbank’ (or some spelling) is the real reason trump wanted barr to fire Berman because he was investigating the bank. barr is trump’s ham fist.
Career criminals would love to be able to fire any police investigating their crimes this is Trump and his minions Crooks one and all
My concern is what happened to that poor umbrella following Trump’s statement? Did it too fall victim to abandonment? How many orphan umbrellas will this President leave in his wake?
No more Criminal Republicans!
I want to go back to corrupt Democrats?
Remember in November what you must do vote in the 2020 election to change the current situation in the Whitehouse.
The clown was another Obama holdover abusing his authority and it finally caught up to him too just like all the others bozo’s still taking direction from Obama behind the scenes considering how he still thinks he is president as per the last executive order he signed requesting anyone who remains in the Trump administration is to report to Obama and to still address him as Mr. President to show their loyalty to the cause to take down Trump.
The like button doesn’t work for your comment
To Chuck Schumer “well respected” = partisan Democrat who will ignore the US constitution in order to push the Democrat agenda.
Investigate what? There doesn’t need to be a reason. It’s how politics work.
So irritating. Republicans should be concerned too. I’m a bipartisan moderate….. frustrating.

Democrats call for investigation into whatever trump’s doing 😂 because they don’t have nothing to do 😂
Are you truly that stupid? Talk about uneducated. Wow, the rest of the more civilized world looks at you clowns in the US and realize that at least 40% of you idiots still support corrupt disgusting people like Donald Trump and William Barr. Thank God I live in a much better country where we still have a conscience and don’t put up with totally evil corrupt politicians who have no conscience and no morals. We throw dirtbags like this in prison here they belong
Obama Rat! DC’s full of them
If you did not vote for Hillary Clinton because she wasn’t good enough, you DESERVE EVERY disastrous moment of Trump’s CORRUPT, swamp scum Presidency, including the 120,000+++ DEATHS.
Yeah, an investigation will get to the bottom of this. Of course we can expect the WH and DOJ to fully cooperate. (sarcasm)
OU Dems should know all about obstruction of justice.
Just like voter fraud.
You wrote the book on it.
NOTHING TO INVESTIGATE. IT IS A NORMAL PROCESS EXCEPT BERMAN DUG HIS OWN GRAVE FOR OTHER POSITIONS.
The fascists will destroy all democratic institutions
one by one in order to rule in a manner that like.
WHAT FACSIST? ANTIFA? THEY ARE UNDER INVESTIGATION. LETS SEE HOW THAT HOLDS UP WHEN THEY START GETTING JAIL TIME.
Another Distractions 😂💯
Trump’s such a coward and a weasel that he won’t take responsibility for his own decisions.
Bela bla bs
Trump’s just draining the Swamp. That was one of his campaign promises.
IT IS ABOUT TIME!! #BEPARTOFTHESOLUTION💞 💜🌻
Trump and AG BARR HAS NEVER TELL AMERICANS THE TRUTH. WHY DO WE HAVE TO ACCEPT THE FIRING OF NY SOUTHERN DISTRICT BERMAN TO EITHER TO RESIGN OR TO BE FIRED? Listen” TRUMP SAID “I DON’T HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH the resignation or stepping down..AG BARR TELLS US TRUMP FIRED HIM. THESE PEOPLE ARE JOKING WITH TAX PAYERS MONEY by SHARE THEIR FAMILY AND FRIENDS.

Corrupt corrupt corrupt corrupt corrupt
Trump wants a toady who will shred the evidence against him before he loses his reelection and can be prosecuted.
Wearing a mask 😷 is like a turn signal in your car. It’s not just for you. It keeps others safe too😷
Trump fires Berman Saturday then he says he has a very capable Attorney General just like himself hes not responsible was out of his hands. More like a very corrupt Attorney General .
Trump, Barr, and the rest of the crooked lot, are on their last legs . . . . their ending will not be pretty, and well deserved.
CNN’s Don Lemon Claims He Doesn’t Know the Male Bartender Who is Suing Him for Sexual Assault
When life hands you a Lemon … turn it into a homosexual. hahahaahhaahahhaahhahah
The very instant AG Barr turns (not sure he will ever do so because he’s a lap dog) he will become the most incompetent AG to Trump, among many other insults. How many times do we need to play this broken 45 record? Ugh.
He can only be fired by the president…He is fired by Trump…Trump’s response when questioned “ I had nothing to do with it”
Bill Clinton fired ALL republican attorneys, around 100, Bush fired half of the dems, Obama fired all republicans and Trump has fired TWO. The typical outrage over everything Trump does is ridiculous. AND YET HE HAS DONE MORE FOR AMERICAN PEOPLE THAN THE LAST THREE PRESIDENTS COMBINED DID IN 24 YEARS. There has NEVER been a big stink OVER any president firing ANYONE, except Trump is raked over the coals about EVERYTHING! Barr has not gotten rid of anyone, so the DOJ is still packed with corrupt democraps covering up for corrupt cronies. Citizens want the damm swamp drained. We know trump isn’t corrupt, he’s the outsider. I do not care about the disgusting political parties, almost all of them work for their own enrichment, we have very few politicians who care anything about citizens or even America. We are not blind, we can see dems care more about illegals and who they can get to vote for them than they care about citizens.
The outgoing administration will be like one of those trashed rental properties you have to clean and sanitise before letting new tenants in.
Another 4 more years and it will need a bulldozer.
So by your logic, people following the law are some how destroying the country – but those acting on emotion are some how superior to the law???
@Pat Rec Perverting the law for selfish reasons is not “following the law”, firing people investigating you, claiming absolute immunity, showing contempt for subpoenas, is that your so called “following the law”
@Spore Hux Showing contemp and firing people are not illegal activities. The term “perverting” the law doesn’t even make sense. It’s either lawful or unlawful. Those are all Democrat talking points to make simple minds think something illegal happened. Remember the whole “Impeachment” thing where none of the articles listed were actually laws being broken? That’s just one example of how the Democrats get people all worked up about nothing. Try getting your news from The Epoch Times which actually does journalism instead of creating outrage material.
William Barr has no balls, he’s not a man, he’s a stuge
the criminal is running the show and the republication are backing him. time to wake up America, it’s all organized crime.
Good luck
The other distractions been working just fine😫
I’m so tired of these crooks vote This president and administration out November 2020
Thing 1 & thing 2 need role models. They can’t even commit unlawful acts successfully.
🤣
I didn’t do it it was Bill – DJT
Hello everyone I’m coming for you for ask a favor.
BAIT AND SWITCH
1:03 “I’m not involved’- lie
How many people is going to get fired under Trump administration? What can expect next😢
From Planned demic to Riot-demic to Firedemic. Alien-pandemic is coming soon😀
Barr should be impeached for his crimes but the republiklan would rather enable and cover up for Bully Barr.
Bully Barr, Trump, and the Republiklan will be investigated and prosecuted.
This will do nothing and Democrats know it sad state this corrupt incompetent government is in!
Donald is getting awful worried about when he loses the election that he will be prosecuted for all of those racketeering charges. RICO! Then watch him play dementia, he didn’t know what he was doing. Because his daddy died that way seems like a pretty good defense if you ask me. So many crimes to prosecute , only so much time and manpower. Go Biden!
#Trumpgate
Frump is lieing
Stop Bill Barr from the evil plan he is surely hatching. Finally! Someone is standing up to this wannabe mob boss. Or worse.
The dictator gov. In america is now running smoothly..
Democrats spend our Swami money on senseless wars that we do not need, under the pretext of showing them our democracy killing civilians around the world pursuing their own selfish goals obogoschayas at our expense!!! it would be better to spend billions on your people and make free medical insurance for a start
This IS OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE!!! AGAIN!!!
Did anybody else get the Biden commercial before this video, he couldn’t even get through that without fkn up. “I’m coming to you for ask a quick favor”.
Great options!
Barr dissected Berman like a frog after he politized things. Trump can fire anyone he likes. Obama did. It is Trump’s job to appoint people to positions like this and it is ROUTINE to do so. Berman is lucky hs lasted as long as he did. My guess is they had negative information on him doing illegal activity related to the Russian Collusion, if you doubt that, think about Berman’s comments and read what Barr wrote to him. Berman cut his own throat by his actions, and it cost him another position in the administration.
COVID was A SCAM! It is China’s CCP SCAM against the USA and President Trump! The COVID tests have shown positive results on a goat, a tree and a fruit. The test is a FRAUD too. MAGA 2020 👍👍👍👍👍
I want an investigation into Obama’s 3 Birth Certificates and 13 Social Security numbers.
Trump can fire anyone he wants, you dipweeds.
This TRUMP is a racist liar and incompetence nutcase must out in 2020!
Again lies by this female. Defending the dumbos, all hoping that Trump will win again. “I’m not involved.”
Barr lied wonce again
So what he could do that .
Here is the law – so why are Democrats calling for an investigation when the law has been followed? https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/28/541
What law was followed? This was wrongful termination. People have to be fired with a justifiable reason.
@Derka Derka – Berman was given evidence of corruption of US officials in the Ukraine and ignored them. Ukrainian officials are on record as stating documented evidence was handed to him and he chose NOT to investigate. He is a political hack. If he was interested in justice he would have rung up Biden already on charges, but he wasn’t doing his job. What other “justifiable reason” do you need? Or do you believe justice means only putting Republicans in jail????
We know the BLM protests are propaganda to promote Michelle Obama over Warren.
Hey, NBC. I have a secret to tell you! Biden&Obama again just like 2008, but this time a man turned into a woman and the position is reversed. Lol
We all know by now the the truth is the opposite of what ever Trump says…”I’m not involved” mean I am involved. Trump is so full of crap I can smell him in the south.
Berman was appointed by Judges not President. Get your facts right.
If this is the same guy that’s conducting the Weiner/Clinton email and Jeffery Epstien investigation he needs to go.
This is not the Federal Department of Investigations.
Politics is the most non essential business there is.
They want to hide the Jeff Epstein case.
Who’s gonna take care of the Narcotic president of Honduras case now?
This Berman is a deep state protecter of the criminals within the Dem, party . he’s no good a leftist communist !
Keep lying to yourself because you’re in love with a dodgy president
Democrats are weak. All talk and no action.
How about the fact that Berman embarrassed Prince Andrew 2 weeks ago by publicly stating these the Prince is lying about cooperating with authorities and refuses to talk. Directly contradicting the princes recent statement. Plus Berman has investigated Two of Trumps personal lawyers.
Please do so MORE of their corruption comes to light! LIKE concealing EVIDENCE regarding Ukraine!!!
And wasn’t Berman in charge of the Jeffery Epstein case… 🤔
They can call…but will Trump’s thugs answer?
https://youtu.be/a_d0QdRSQ0M. Berman Knows
Swamp maggot goes down.
Who’s getting fired tonight it’s Friday
Berman should be arrested for obstruction of justice!
About 2 weeks later and the New York Southern District just arrested Ghislaine Maxwell, who has been at her house in New Hampshire she bought in December this past year. For a delusional Trump supporter this looks as if they were getting Berman out of the way because he was protecting some gran conspiracy. For someone with Trump Derangement Syndrome, it looks as if Trump, who is incapable of doing anything is conspiring to bring her in so he can work a deal so she doesn’t talk about him, beating the SDNY to the punch. Or this is a distraction from something else. Which is correct? Are either even correct? We are getting played, and should know by know that if you let it play out, instead of just reacting we are able to see reality with a clearer lense.
