[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Did Trump fire him by letter, by phone call? Or is Barr putting words in Trump's mouth?[/quote]

Even if Trump is just ratifying Barr’s action, at this point it becomes Trump’s legally.  It was always Trump’s optically.

Based on the 40-year OLC memo, Berman should now be gone.  Whether a court will see it that way remains to be seen.[/quote]

Some people like to follow the law, not just how things look.

I expect Berman will vacate as soon as he hears directly from Trump, whether that be today or another day. [/quote]

That's not what Berman's statement said. He said he'll be waiting for the "vacancy to be filled."

Interesting, though, that Barr's letter says he proposed a swap - Clayton to SDNY and Berman to the SEC. What would be the point of that unless Trump/Barr is trying to obstruct cases at SDNY? [/quote]

Berman was offered the newly opened head of DOJ Civil Division, not SEC chair based on what I saw reported.[/quote]
