Marc Kasowitz, President Donald Trump’s personal lawyer in the Russia investigation, has boasted to friends and colleagues that he played a central role in the firing of Preet Bharara, the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, according to four people familiar with the conversations.

Kasowitz told Trump, “This guy is going to get you,” according to a person familiar with Kasowitz’s account.

Those who know Kasowitz say he is sometimes prone to exaggerating when regaling them with his exploits. But if true, his assertion adds to the mystery surrounding the motive and timing of Bharara’s firing.

New presidents typically ask U.S. attorneys to resign and have the power to fire them. But Trump asked Bharara to stay in his job when they met in November at Trump Tower, as Bharara announced after the meeting.

1. The religious right wants their leaders to be killers, liars, thieves

They actually think liberals are devils.

Preet had the goods on their leader, so he had to go.

2. FF45 fires anybody looking

at him with scrutiny. His minions evade questioning. The wagons are eternally circled. Looks like they get to have their way with us at every turn. My hope is that Bharara, Comey etc have the goods and are biding their time...however, time for our country is running out.

3. Yeah our goal is to get him and his client, Federal prison cells.
