Bharara was just one of 46 Obama appointees fired and there are obviously questions about how “tough” he really was on the Street, but this is still highly amusing (and a little sad) …

Via New York Times
Preet Bharara, the Manhattan federal prosecutor who was asked by President Trump to remain in his post shortly after the election, was fired on Saturday after he refused an order to submit his resignation.
Mr. Bharara’s dismissal capped a brief but highly unusual showdown in which a political appointee installed by Mr. Trump’s predecessor, President Barack Obama, declined an order to submit a resignation.
He told the world what had happened on Twitter.
I did not resign. Moments ago I was fired. Being the US Attorney in SDNY will forever be the greatest honor of my professional life.

So consider that, and then remember that when it comes to “draining the swamp” and stamping out the undue influence of special interests, nothing says “I’m serious” like filling one’s inner circle with Goldman bankers…
And now back to poor old Preet for the punchline…
And the funniest/worst part…
