For abuse of power. Calls for his head will ring loudly from D.C.

(115,727 posts)4. Shortly after he was elected when he fired Preet Bharara
after previously telling him he wanted to stay on. Then he started interviewing people for the job, which is unheard-of (like a lot of things he does), and eventually appointed the current US Attorney, Geoffrey Berman. So far Berman has behaved himself and has recused himself from Trump-related cases.

hopefully they would them allowed to be made public.
