from my recent post...
------------------------
Check out this excerpt from Geoffrey Berman's Preface to his book "Holding the Line"....note that GB was Attorney for the SDNY during Trump's administration (until fired for not being 'loyal enough')...
------------------
"My lead deputy, Robert Khuzami, received an urgent phone call from a top official at the U.S. Department of Justice.
The midterm elections were less than two months away. The results would determine not just which party controlled the House and Senate but also if the next two years of the Trump presidency would be dogged by congressional investigations. Khuzami spoke with Edward O'Callaghan, the principal associate deputy attorney general. Despite the convoluted title, O'Callaghan held a powerful position within DOJ. His message to Khuzami was unambiguous: it was time for me, Geoffrey Berman, the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York and lifelong Republican, to take one for the team.
I had been close to Khuzami since we worked together as young prosecutors in the Southern District in the early 1990s, and when I came back to take the top job, he agreed to join me. He came into my office and closed the door. "You're not going to believe the conversation I had with O'Callaghan, he said before sharing the details
The top leadership at DOJ wanted to see me bring criminal charges against Gregory Craig, a private attorney who had once been President Obama's White House counsel. And they wanted me to do so before Election Day.
Khuzami related that O'Callaghan told him, bluntly, "It's time for you guys to even things out."
You've got to be "__ing kidding me," I said.
"I wish," he said, "but no."

SDNY chief attorney, Geoffrey Berman is publicly naming names...and witnesses in what is a blatant politicization of the DOJ by Trump, et al. That's how the GOP conducted business...you'll have to
do a lot of gaslighting to come up with Dems doing anything close to what Trump did with the DOJ...btw...'Main DOJ' did find someone else to prosecute Mr. Craig...who ended up being acquitted by a jury in less than 5 hours.
This DOJ is going to do it right...Justice for the American people will be served.
