To Preet Bharara - good riddance

The following comment appeared on Facebook immediately after the news of U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York Preet Bharara fired by President Trump, after refusing to resign.

Preet Bharara also tweeted, comparing himself to the Moreland Commission that was disbanded by New York State Governor Andrew Cuomo when the Moreland Commission started to investigate Andrew Cuomo.

But wait, wasn't it Preet Bharara who investigated the disbanding of the Moreland Commission by Andrew Cuomo and found nothing wrong?

And, wasn't it Preet Bharara who testified in that same Moreland Commission, but refused to take calls or respond to inquiries of whistleblowers of judicial corruption - like Leon Koziol, as he describes in his blog, and like me - refusing to prosecute judicial corruption despite documentary evidence sent to him, and despite a clear demand (based on federal law) to turn judges involved in corruption to a federal grand jury?

And isn't the supposedly independent Preet Bharara, as it starts to appear now, the "Schumer boy", where Senator Schumer, Trump's opponent, handled negotiations with Trump about Bharara (Schumer's own former chief legislative counsel) remaining on the job - back in November of 2016?

By the way, Schumer was reportedly "caught off guard" and "extremely surprised and disappointed" by President Trump for firing Bharara.

And isn't being "the Schumer boy", and aspirations to run for the New York State Governor, and being in need of partisan support for such a run, prevented Bharara from prosecuting Cuomo for corruption - while he prosecuted the other 2 of the "three men in a room", and prosecuted everybody around Cuomo?

So, mourn, if you wish, the loss of the "fearless" and "independent" Bharara, a "patriotic American" and a "proud immigrant" (he knows which buttons to press in the current political climate).

I say - good riddance to yet another promiscuous politician.
