This is interesting:

Berman’s appointment raised an outcry because he was handpicked by Trump. The U.S. Attorney for the SDNY oversees Manhattan and thus the president’s businesses and at least nine Trump properties. Trump went out of his way to take the unusual step of personally interviewing Berman, who donated $2,700 to the Trump campaign, served on the presidential transition team, and was a partner at the law firm where Trump’s lawyer Rudolph Giuliani is a member. Democrats vowed to block Berman’s nomination, but never got the chance because Sessions used the workaround so Berman would not come before the Senate.

So Berman, the guy being removed, is actually a Trump supporter (donated to the campaign, was personally interviewed and vetted by Trump). This isn't partisanship as usual.

Meanwhile Trump supporters will find someway to blame the Democrats for this.

Thank you to all on this thread who have provided explanations and links. This is when I most value DCUM, especially for those of us with no legal background.

Any litigation on this will make it moot, which I think, is Berman's goal. the only remedy is for Trump to appoint someone and let that person get through the Senate. Even that could take til September, and more likely, McConnell would pocket it for fear of further eroding the Senate.

Nor has anyone explained why Barr would lie about this guy leaving his position.

I don’t need specifics on his relationship with DB. If there is a relationship, that is enough to disqualify and move on to a different candidate.

Such corruption. When will it be too much? What is the limit? For me.. Heldinski when DT openly favored B Putin’s word over our own FBI, CIA, NSA. .. He committed treason, openly.

Well, that one has some easy explanations. Possibly, he thought Berman would agree. Relatedly, he may have thought the pressure of a public announcement would cause Berman to back down.
