Banana Republic

"I have not resigned, and have no intention of resigning, my position, to which I was appointed by the Judges of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. I will step down when a presidentially appointed nominee is confirmed by the Senate," Berman said. "Until then, our investigations will move forward without delay or interruption."

That statement from Geoffrey Berman, a lifelong Republican, came after he found out from a news broadcast that he had "resigned". He was never consulted about resigning nor did he agree to resigning. So what happened next is that AG Barr said that he had consulted with Donald Trump and that Berman's refusal to leave gracefully meant that Trump wanted Berman out sooner rather than later and that Berman's second in command would take over the SDNY (Southern District of New York) office forthwith. What investigations were the SDNY looking into--Trump finances, Trump taxes, Trump payments to women to stay silent.

But Trump said that he had nothing to do with any of this.

So--who is the lying liar and who is the freaking sycophant and how can anyone think there is an adult at the helm of this ship of state? If Trump's entire point for running for office was to highlight the inequities and injustices of the legal system in this country, he has succeeded admirably. But if we don't have a functioning legal system, to whom can we turn?

In the meantime Trump is in Tulsa stirring up hatred and Covid in a cauldron of screaming people stuck together. Six of the advance team from Trump's own campaign tested positive for the virus so they were already a contact vector for the virus. May the force of Covid19 be with all of them.
