Friday Night Murder?

trump administration is crumbling apart literally whats gonna be left by November

This story is about as big as it gets and OP out here giving it a pointless, everyday title

The smell of desperation is strong rn

Big props to Berman.

There's a grey area in terms of who can fire Berman. As court confirmed (because ironically the Senate never confirmed it) he is arguing the courts only have that power, or his replacement must have senate confirmation (which the touted replacement does not). Trump can directly remove him. But if he does then its explicit obstruction as opposed to Burr taking the heat as per usual.

Berman has been investigating Giuliani in Ukraine. As well as Trump campaign finance infranctions, Turkey, and Epstein.

If they moved ahead with the firing now, I imagine its close to charges being filed.

Apparently Barr attempted to buy Berman's silence, offering him other, bigger positions in exchange. Berman stood his ground.

Suffice it to say Barr is clearly very worried by this.

Looks likely Berman will testify on Wednesday into political interference.

RIP this man

Art of the deal

:

did the title/OP lie?

Its a shoddy title g that doesnt give any weight to the magnitude. Lucky I clicked in the first place, otherwise had no idea that its a thread about Berman

i know how important the situation is. That's why i made the thread immediately when it all went down last night. if a thread title on ktt2 is that important to you, ill change it.

No worries, whatever ya wanna do. Just saying its very easy to skip over it, I almost did, not thinking it was about Berman

changed it anayway

So Berman stepping down after all but will be replaced by his deputy instead of the Trump appointee. Good I guess?? Still a f***ed situation just not as f***ed as it could have been. Trump and Barr are pathetic

Lmao brazy. I don't see how you can look at s*** like this and say it's not highly problematic to a functioning republic.

Like I get it for Trump voters that are totally brainwashed. But for anyone else...it's not about whether Trump is guilty of crimes or not. It's that he's setting these extraordinarily dangerous precedents. This is exactly how Rome's Republic fell folks.

Pretty much

Luckily Trump is the accelerationist president. and whether that’s towards socialism or the fall of American hegemony idk and frankly idc

Because it’s mainly middle to upper class white people who are undecided at this point, you know, the people who are least likely to get affected by any of this.
