There is one phenomenon that I have never understood in the many years I have been in the news racket: the adulation many of my colleagues have for crusading prosecutors.

Am I the only one who’s noticed that these guys rarely return the favor?

A case in point is outgoing U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York Preet Bharara. When his name appeared on the list of U.S. Attorneys who were asked to resign by President Trump last week, a great wave of keening and wailing went up from the press.

Typical was the New York Times, which ran this headline on a supposedly objective news article: “With Bharara’s Dismissal, Storied New York Office Loses Its Top Fighter.”

Storied?

  1. Because when it comes to all things Trump the reporting is the same. TRUMP BAD

  2. Every new President does this, but the lame street media is ignoring this historical fact and giving the liberal masses it daily dose of Trump Is Evil.

  3. Good choice of posting PJ. You are the bane of many a statist whose politics align with those of Preet Bharara and who, if they could get away with it, would fairly leap at the chance to intimidate both you and your free-speaking anonymous commenters. But you’re a smart cookie and you know your rights. Move on to easier targets…

  4. The prosecutor was going after fox news. Trump would not allow that.

  5. So the prosecutor was politically motivated. Good riddance.

    1. thats why they are called “political appointments”
