NEW YORK—Preet Bharara won’t say whether he was investigating President Donald Trump when he was fired in March or whether he’s seen anything that’s informed his view of whether the president or anyone close to him colluded with Russia to rig the 2016 election. He deflects comment on whether he thinks the president should be impeached or indicted.

But after eight years running one of the biggest and most active public corruption operations as the United States attorney for the Southern District of New York, Bharara knows a little about how to read indictments and plea deals, and with Monday’s big news out of the Mueller investigation, it looks to him like much more is coming.

......

“I don’t talk about the things we were examining and investigating during that time I was U.S. attorney, including on the day that I left that job,” Bharara told me, in a separate interview for POLITICO’s Off Message podcast. ]“But there would be people who would know what we were looking at, including the attorney general, Jeff Sessions, because we provided summaries of significant and sensitive cases that we were working. And that’s all I’ll say.”

Bharara says this is just a standard answer, that he never talks about investigations or cases. But his mention of Sessions lingers in the air.

1. Speaks volumes

The Trumps have it coming.

2. That's saying enough. He's saying in effect that Sessions told Trump of the investigations,

and that's why he was fired.

Which is what most people believed all along. Bharara just confirmed it.
