Ex-U.S. Attorney Bharara tells of 'unusual' calls he

The third call, however, came two days after Trump's inauguration. That time, he said, he refused to call back.

"The call came in. I got a message. We deliberated over it, thought it was inappropriate to return the call. And 22 hours later I was asked to resign along with 45 other people," he said.

Bharara stopped short of saying whether he thought Trump had obstructed justice in his conversations and subsequent firing of Comey.

However, he said he thought there was "absolutely evidence to begin a case" into the matter.

Who cares

Gets fired with 45 other dep ag's and thinks it's all about him and trump.

Conservatives, you should be less concerned about the letter of the law and more concerned about anti-democratic behavior.
It is not OK for elected officials to try and influence criminal investigations in their favor.
Technically it is legal for Americans to repeal their democracy altogether, but you should not consider that acceptable.

At this point don't care what he did either way, he did everything I wanted him to do when I voted for him. Put a conservative on SCOTUS, draw the flak away from gun laws, and cause liberal butthurt equal to or greater than our butthurt from 8 years of -your- party's fuckery. As far as I'm concerned he doesn't even need to do anything for the next three years.

How's that wall coming?
The health care plan that would "cover everybody" at a fraction of the cost?
How about the part where he didn't stick his dick in Syria?
The trillion dollars for infrastructure?
"Lock her up"?

Why _did_ you vote for him?
If it was just because he wasn't Hillary, you cunts could have nominated Jeb, or Chris Christie.
Why the human cheeto in particular?

>Put a conservative on SCOTUS,
Congress did that. After obstructing Obama for nearly a year.

>greater than our butthurt from 8 years of -your- party's fuckery
To be fair, Obama's a neocon.
Your butthurt is solely because he was black, not his generally conservative policies.
Our buthurt is cause by Trump's incredible corruption and incompetence.
If he ever actually gets anything done, we'll move on to being upset with his policies, I'm sure.

Oh wait.

Not getting to do whatever you want =/= obstruction. Welcome to the Republic.

>Your butthurt is solely because he was black, not his generally conservative policies.
Actually it had everything to do with his terrible PROGRESSIVE ( you pathetic revisionist) policies, also the constant lickspittling of his blatantly corrupt "Dear Leader" cult of personality by the MSM and Hollywood.

"But not enough to actually say anything because god forbid I be forced to eat my words. Now excuse me while I help Governor Cuomo solidify his power base by pretending to "investigate" corruption in the NYS State Government that magically somehow stops just short of involving the Governor despite him being the only one of "three men in a room" described as the real head of NY Government that didn't get arrested. Moreland Commission? Who cares lololol."

>>148668
>How is Obamacare coming btw?
>Oh wait.
It's still helping ensure more Americans have proper health care than any other point in our country's history, despite nearly constant Republican undermining.

>Not getting to do whatever you want =/= obstruction.
Republican vowed to block any candidate Obama presented, no matter how qualified.

Mitch McConnell 2016: "One of my proudest moments was when I told Obama, 'You will not fill this Supreme Court vacancy,'"
Mitch McConnell 2017: "Apparently there's yet a new standard now, which is not to confirm a Supreme Court nominee at all. I think that's something the American people simply will not tolerate."

GOP confirmed for massive obstructionist hypocrisy.

>>148668
>it had everything to do with his terrible PROGRESSIVE ( you pathetic revisionist) policies
His foreign policy was like getting two more terms of GWB.
His "legacy" (Obamacare) was a remarkably conservative piece of legislation.
It's America's best chance for avoiding real socialized medicine.
It's a great boon for the healthcare industry, and it ensures that even the working poor (and their small-business employers) have to help pay for health care in America instead of just going to the emergency room or relying on a spouse that works for a fortune-500 company to cover the family health care.

Both Mitt Romney and Ronald Reagan had similar plans, and if Obama wasn't a black democrat, Paul Ryan would fight tooth and nail to defend the ACA.

But the joke's on you... you don't have a mandate, and you're still destined to be the social minority.
If your party served the voters, it would take a more moderate stance and enjoy the support of more people.
Especially with Trump, where you picked him mostly because of how much the liberal majority hates him, you're destined to suffer the ridicule of most Americans, and the world at large.

You can stop with the revisionist nonsense. It was a progressive act supported 100% by the DNC, and only by the DNC. You're only attempting to paint it as a conservative policy because it's an abysmal failure.

Almost as bad as Obama.

Still not giving up on that meme, are you? No worries, some people need a crutch to hold that suicide demon off. Don't feel bad about it, it's okay.

>If your party served the voters, it would take a more moderate stance and enjoy the support of more people.
Which is why the GOP and not the DNC has been steadily losing offices on local state and federal offices since 2012- oh wait, that WAS the DNC. And still is!

>Especially with Trump, where you picked him mostly because of how much the liberal majority hates him, you're destined to suffer the ridicule of most Americans, and the world at large.
It's very important to you to believe you're part of some magical 'always right' majority isn't it?

You're upcoming mental break is going to be fantastic. Try not to get banned from /news/ when you start to emotionally act out though, I don't think you have much else.

>>148685

I'm still not wrong.
More Americans are getting more health care than ever before.
Of course it's going to cost more.
I know Trump promised a plan that would "cover everybody at a fraction of the cost", but that's an obvious con-job.

>>148685
>Source: Joe Fucking Biden.
It's a practice that's relatively new (started under Reagan), and yes, both parties have done it.
But it's still obstructionist.

>>148685
>. It was a progressive act supported 100% by the DNC,
"Progressive" countries have single-payer health care.
Obamacare (like Romneycare) instead requires people to buy health insurance or face a penalty.
>and only by the DNC.
More spiteful obstruction.

>>148691
>I'm still not wrong.
Yes you are. You know you are.

>Of course it's going to cost more.
So it's doing the complete opposite of what it was pitched and designed to do.
So it's a failure.
Glad we agree.

>But it's still obstructionist.
Again, not getting what you want when you want it =/= obstructionist.

>"Progressive" countries have single-payer health care.
And no defense budget.

>More spiteful obstruction.
"We have to pass it first to find out what's in it"

>>148686
>No, he's bad guy because he's a murdering corrupt liar who was also a huge narcissist
Are you sure you're not thinking of Trump?
Trump's the biggest narcissist I can think of.
Even as far back as the 80's it was clear he's in love with himself.
And during the campaign?
Every single subject:
"I know more about ISIS than the Generals."
"Nobody knows more about health care than me."
"Nobody knows more about taxes than me."
"I've got the best words."
etc.

He really believes he's the greatest expert on everything.

>>148696
>Are you sure you're not thinking of Trump?
Are you sure you're not ignoring eight years worth of media lickspittling? Because you are.
Does it make you feel bad to think about? Oh well.

Congrats on dating yourself. Don't forget to take your opioids for your "pain".

>>148694
>So it's doing the complete opposite of what it was pitched and designed to do.
No, it was supposed to increase the number of Americans with health care.
Which it did.

>>148694
>, not getting what you want when you want it =/= obstructionist.
No, but McConnell saying (on the day Scalia died) that the Republican-controlled Senate had no intention of confirming ANY nominee chosen by Obama IS obstructionist.

>>148694
>"We have to pass it first to find out what's in it"
Most congressmen don't read the text of any laws they pass. That's not the same as "nobody was allowed to read the bill".

>>148697
>media lickspittling?
I'm sorry you're tired of most people liking the job Obama did.
But if you wanted a president people liked, you shouldn't have backed a candidate based on how much the liberal majority hates him.

>>148699
>I'm sorry you're tired of most people liking the job Obama did.
I'm sorry you're unable to see blatant lickspittling of a Dear Leader archetype because he's Your Guy (TM).

>But if you wanted a president people liked, you shouldn't have backed a candidate based on how much the liberal majority hates him.
Maybe the liberal minority (FTFY) shouldn't be so repugnant and detestable that people voted in Trump to spite them.
Maybe their attitude that everyone else is wrong and bad and they're always right and should always get their way blinds them to their own glaring issues that were soundly rejected in a legitimate US presidential election.

Maybe if Obama was as good as you claim and wasn't propped up by eight years of propaganda and hedonistic idol worship, Hillary wouldn't have lost.

But that's just tea.

>>148710
>liberal minority (FTFY)
Tell me again who got more votes?
The least popular Democrat in living memory, surrounded by a shroud of corruption?
Or was it the poor-man's Reagan with a spray tan?

Obama is a member of a elite class that control nearly all media outlets. Obama never produced any results - the media massaged his presidency into the minds of the public by patting him on the back publicly ever day for 8 years.

Now they're doing the opposite because Trump is a threat to the order of things. They need saps like you to hate him to restore power. They'll bitch and moan about everything he does until people get tired of it.

>>148711
Don't forget that everybody that didn't vote was told that unless they voted, Hillary would win.

>>148710
>people voted in Trump to spite them
You don't actually believe this do you? If anything both candidates were so bad we saw a record low turn out.
And you still lost the popular vote

If Obama didn't do anything then by that logic Trump isn't even in office yet.

Conservatives don't give a shit about the economy or EPA. They're comfortable enough. Maybe they would appreciate some more protections or higher wages. But they will obstruct anything liberals try to do because they care about racial and cultural demographics, but talking about that stuff is taboo. Which is why you have so much fake news coming from the right. they have to make up shit about how everything democrats do is disastrous and everything trump does is great, because that is the only way to justify the only political platform available that's offering to make america white and christian again without looking racist..

If the US were suddenly all white, I guarantee you single payer healthcare, social programs, climate change action, economic regulation would be considered bi-partisan issues because the government would start legislating for the collective good just like you have in Eurasian countries.

>>150058
50% of the USA is evil racist whites, it's pretty much a fact.

Ive been trying to systemically replace my body parts with more ethic ones, but it's really expensive getting skin graft and limb grafts. Like ridiculously expensive. Is it any wonder Americans are sick and tired of capitalism, with how expensive corperations make healthcare in the US?

The US also basically belongs to the native Americans and blacks - they built the US, not whites. Whenever white people see a black person just being nice and working hard, they always try to ruin it. Living in this country makes me sick. I think Venezuela is probably a better place than the US, if you look at the things that matter like racial relations and prosperity in that sense - not just GDP which is all Republicans care about

>>150059
>50% of the USA is evil racist whites, it's pretty much a fact.

I didn't say this, but I bet there is a significant portion of whites that want to live in predominantly white and christian communities same as blacks do, because we're all people. I think it would be nice if we could all ignore race altogether, tear down all communal barriers to mixing, and just judge on individuals on individual merits. But we're not there yet in our cultural evolution. I hope some day we are.

When a subset of whites on the political right pay tax dollars they become suspicious that it's going toward a community they can't appreciate the lifestyle of. This is true in non-white countries like Brazil with similar demographic differences. It leads to communalism. And that's not just religious and racial but also political. Liberals and conservatives don't trust the sort of taxpayer investments the other wants. If we had a more racially and culturally homogeneous society, it would be a lot easier for conservatives and liberals to find common ground.

Not the guy you're responding to, but I'm a guy who dislikes both Obama and Trump... and come on now, if you criticize Obama for "his blatantly corrupt "Dear Leader" cult of personality", then you should at least criticize Trump for the same. Trump is a cheap propagandist at least as bad as the sophist Obama ever was.

>>150070
Obama didn't curb gun rights at all and he stepped up deportations to a rate even higher than Trump's.
He was a center right president, even his universal healthcare policy was a heritage institute idea.
There's no good economic reason any conservatives should see him as anything but a decent president.

>>150063
You sound like you're trying to be a friend but I don't think you understand the plight of people of color at all. People of color need to be rid of white people, especially in the US.

Japan and Sweden are fine because they don't systematically oppress women and minorities, but Venezuela and most places in the south Americas have a richer culture and better cohesion in that sense - plus black and Latin peoples are vibrant and have a common oppression that makes them stronger

>>150083
Thats some brainwashed ass talk you got there. Colored people are just as racist as white people, but in the end theres not a difference. We all want to be able to support our selves/families with a good job, we all want to live relatively free and be happy. What youre talking about is simple division tactics and you drank way too much koolaid. For the record im not white and dont hate white people for past atrocities. After all, its white people who are trying to give "minorities" every fucking chance to get ahead, but whites are the minorites on a global scale. They should be nationalistic for fear of losing their heritage, which is something all people of color supposedly hold so close. I dont see blacks practicing voodoo or learning about their african roots. Its just fake bullshit. Their culture is theirs, its not white peoples fault they want to talk like retards, be gang bangers, glorify ignorant entertainment and call each other niggas. Its "cool" to be africsn american, but most of the people they look up to as cultural icons just perpetuate the idiocracy. You think they need to get tid of the whites to have a chance? Where would that get them? Does africa choose to invent shit or is it just every other race. Asians are smart and have contributed greatly to historic inventions, arabs have, caucasions have, indians have,fuck even natives were more advanced than some parts of africa today. You stupid liberal fuck, do you just absorb anything your party and their ilk say? Cause it seems like it, especially when tucker carlson is becoming more based and logical as days go by. I find myself agreeing with gavin mcinnes more than msnbc or cnn combined. Im a liberal (or eas a liberal), but you "progressives" are pushing anybody who doesnt believe everything that you shove down peoples throats away. Its like a fucking cult, youre part of a cult.
