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?

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.

Dude, what about the November Trump promise and handshake saying he could stay on? That was a worthless con job.

Dude, I'm not saying whether it was ~right~, in any sense. I'm saying, he had the authority; debate out the other points.

Yup. He could fire him. But didn't he promise in Nov he could stay? What changed the boss's mind? An investigation??

Again. You're basically repeating what I've already said. I'm literally saying, "Debate out those questions."
