As we’ve reported, President Trump has told 46 Obama-era U.S. attorneys to resign. One attorney refused to comply with Trump’s request and instead wanted to make the president & AG fire him. Guess what happened next:

I did not resign. Moments ago I was fired. Being the US Attorney in SDNY will forever be the greatest honor of my professional life.

The Left made Sally Yates a hero of The Resistance, and Dems might praise Bharara in the same way.

Is this the kind of violation of democratic norms we're worried about destroying democracy or applauding as #Resistance? https://t.co/r1NWnNTZKm

Another political act disguised as another political act. The left is so tedious.

Or maybe it's neither… Trump personally asked him to stay. Afaik the only USA he asked personally. And he agreed.

I guess we will get another season of the apprentice then after all. Guess Preet needs that unemployment check. https://t.co/mvx130QaMh

As predicted…
Another hero of the Resistance. We honor your service and courage, sir. https://t.co/hSr6UBbOio
