      BREAKING —> Preet Bharara says he was fired. https://www.buzzfeed.com/davidmack/preet-bharara?utm_term=.liwXvWjaVb#.joMMoYr9Rw …https://twitter.com/PreetBharara/status/840645773985492992 …

      I did not resign. Moments ago I was fired. Being the US Attorney in SDNY will forever be the greatest honor of my professional life.

      Note: Neither the White House nor Justice Department have issued a statement or even will confirm Bharara's firing.

      Important to note that, as with Yates earlier, Bharara pretty much knew the end result here when he decided his move.

      Also: While Bharara is high-profile, do we know if there are any other US attorneys out there who did not resign Friday as requested?

      Chris Geidner‏Verified account @chrisgeidner 11 Mar 2017

      The bottom line here is that the president can get rid of US attorneys, most do, and Trump (and/or Sessions) decided to do so on Friday.

          The timing, motivations, and expectations can be questioned, criticized, and debated—but the end result was set if Trump wanted it to be so.

          Since everyone on all sides appears to a bit ~wild~ today, I think it's important to step back here.

          There is a wide middle space between "this is a huge scandal" and "this is normal." That is the space in which questions should be asked.

          That is the space in which openness is important from government and careful reporting is important from journalists.

          And, I'm not just talking about Bharara, although you NYers are obsessed with him.

          Yes, there are Qs about Trump's prior apparent agreement to keep Bharara on — but, like, Trump changing his mind isn't exactly surprising.

          But, the bigger picture here is that the handling of things on Friday IS different than past administrations — yes, even Reno in '93.

          The end result — asking for resignations and eventually replacing US attorneys — is the same.

          But, doing it with no advance notice and ordering resignations that day — and to be effective immediately — is different.

          But when will Trump replace them? Or will he just leave their offices vacant?

          Thanks! Wonder if they will carry on the prosecutions Bharara and his colleagues have started-or will they need Sessions' ok?

          .@chrisgeidner @DemFromCT But most presidents don't ask US Atty to stay on--then fire him. Chaos, corruption or incompetence? Take your pick

          But not good to go back on word. Important that legislators, foreign governments et al. can rely on president's word.

          Feinstein asked DOJ if they would removed en masse or would there be an orderly transition, she was assured the later.
