Barr (or Trump) fires Atty who was leading investigations into Trump and his ass.

The attorney issues a statement saying he is not and only learned of it through Barr's statement...then goes to work on Saturday.

On Saturday Barr announces that Trump fired the attorney claiming that his public statement was "spectacle"...this after they allegedly offered him promotions a week or so earlier.

Before his rally on Saturday Trump says he had nothing to do with it.

The attorney was not Senate approved so there is some question about if Trump can even fire him.

Between two "stepping down" and the firing Barr changed his mind on who would be the temporary replacement.  First they wanted the head of the FEC who has no experience but now it will be an assistant.

The promotions were to get rid of him by moving him up and away from the investigation.

When that didn't work, came the alleged "stepping down," and when that didn't work the "firing" announcement followed.

So the replacement will be Berman's own assistant.

What if he lacks Berman's integrity?
