"Lindsay, pitchfork populist • 37 minutes ago

There's been another apparently Barr-related resignation from the US attorney's office - Geoffrey Berman at SDNY.

Berman apparently got his way on indicting state-owned Turkish Halkbank, but has posted his resignation from the US Attorneys Office in a case involving the attempt to get Trump's WH visitor logs.

Information pieced together by me, a rank amateur, from tweets and a CNN article cited in one of the tweets."

4. Berman,Trump appointee and former Giuliani law associate had recused from Trump related cases

Trump has not been happy with him for appointing him upon recommendation from Giuliani but then for Berman to recuse himself instead of obeying wishes of Trump in Michael Cohen and other cases. But this case seems to have caused him to not just recuse but totally resign his post.

6. This is A Big Deal

This is the U.S. Attorney for SDNY who was prosecuting Epstein, whose office prosecuted Michael Cohen and now Parnas and Furman. He's been on tv several times announcing decisions about these cases. I am shocked that the head of the SDNY U.S. attorneys' office resigned yesterday. He was a Trump appointee.
