Berman Firing

Apparently President Trump and Attorney General Barr continue to subscribe to the outdated notion that dreadful things may be done late on a Friday without incurring unwelcome media attention. Not so any longer.
The attempted corrupt firing of Geoffrey Berman, the US Attorney for the Southern District of New York, who, unlike the Attorney General, has refused to act as a Trump surrogate, has set off yet another firestorm engulfing this administration. The attempt to punish a prosecutor for moving against Trump allies, and to thwart other ongoing investigations must not be allowed to succeed. Congress must launch an immediate investigation, attorneys working under Berman must express their outrage, the public must raise a storm of protest and the media must keep an ongoing focus on this patent assault on the rule of law.
