Bill Barr messed up ---Berman is the hero and wins the day

the BAnnon case was getting hotter ---and Barr tried to stop it ------and others---he news of Bannon's arrest comes at an interesting time for SDNY. Two months ago, Attorney General Bill Barr tried to force out the US attorney for the office, Geoffrey Berman, and to replace him with someone outside the ordinary line of succession. Berman professed to be deeply worried about what might happen to unspecified investigations SDNY was pursuing and initially refused to resign. Only when Barr agreed to let Strauss — Berman’s trusted deputy — take over did Berman accept his firing.

I like the fact that Audrey Strauss is the attorney on this case.
