'Preet Bharara, the former United States attorney in Manhattan, said on
Sunday that President Trump tried to cultivate a relationship with him
in the months before he was abruptly fired in March.

Mr. Bharara said the contacts with Mr. Trump made him increasingly
uncomfortable because they broke with longstanding Justice Department
rules on communicating with the White House. Mr. Bharara, who first
publicly disclosed the contacts and his concerns about them after he was
fired, said Mr. Trump’s communications were strikingly similar to those
between the president and those described by the former F.B.I. director,
James B. Comey, who was fired last month.

“When I’ve been reading the stories of how the president has been
contacting Jim Comey over time, felt a little bit like déjà vu,” Mr.
Bharara said Sunday on “This Week” on ABC.'

And that doesn't tell you what an asshole he is?

Apparently, Trump fired him after he refused to take his call.

Bharara was singled out by Trump as someone he was planning to keep...

"Trump invited Bharara to Trump Tower in New York a few weeks after the
election, and Bharara said Trump asked him to stay on at the time."

<http://www.cnn.com/2017/06/11/politics/preet-bharara-donald-trump/index.html>

And before you go on about how this is a disgruntled former employee, etc.

You should look at the same story being stated in March:

'So let’s stipulate that, although not ideal, it’s the President’s
prerogative to replace U.S. Attorneys and shouldn’t be cause for
concern. But what truly raised eyebrows is that President Trump had,
during his transition, reportedly singled out one U.S. Attorney,
Manhattan’s Preet Bharara, and asked him to stay on.'

<http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/trump-personally-bharara-stay-fire-article-1.2995281>

And from November, 2016:

'Preet Bharara said Wednesday that he'll stay on in his role as
Manhattan U.S. Attorney at Donald Trump's request.

Following a meeting with the President-elect inside Trump Tower, Bharara
told reporters he had been summoned to discuss remaining in his position
and had made up his mind "to stay on."'

<http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/trump-meet-manhattan-attorney-preet-bharara-source-article-1.2892952>

'There’s going to be the same old “sheriff” in this town.

Preet Bharara, the gungho Manhattan federal prosecutor, has agreed to
“stay on” as U.S. Attorney for the Southern District after
President-elect Donald Trump offered him the gig during a meeting
Wednesday afternoon at Trump Tower in Midtown.'

So why the turn-around?

Now that's specious reasoning. Why did he want him to resign?

Because he was investigating Trump's nefarious business dealings
in NYC.

That isn't an answer.

What a shock.
