Quick @SDNYnews summary.

Neither Barr nor Trump can fire Geoffrey Berman because Berman was appointed by a judge.

What Trump can do is nominate someone and get that person confirmed. Barr made a huge mistake last night. He outed his obstruction while failing to remove Berman.
Trump has always been able to nominate a US Atty, who must be Senate confirmed. So the only difference between today and yesterday is today all of America knows that Bill Barr is afraid of @SDNYnews’s prosecutions.
Finally, that’s some guts on Geoffrey Berman. Would that everyone in DOJ had such courage. Proving that bravery is not just for soldiers.
