Undated: Preetinder Singh "Preet" Bharara (born
October 13, 1968) is an American lawyer who served as
U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York from 2009 to 2017. As
U.S. Attorney, Bharara earned a reputation of a "crusader" prosecutor[2][3]
who for seven years was one of "the nation's most aggressive and outspoken
prosecutors of public
corruption
and Wall
Street crime."[4]
Under Bharara, the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York
prosecuted nearly 100 Wall Street executives for
insider trading and other offenses.[5]
He reached historic settlements and fines with the four largest banks in the
United States,[6][7][8]
and closed multibillion-dollar hedge funds for activities including insider
trading.[9][10]

March 11: There is
nothing unusual about a newly elected president replacing all of the United
States attorneys with his own personal appointments.
Bill Clinton, for instance,
terminated all 93 sitting US attorneys when he assumed office.
What is unusual is telling or strongly implying that you are going to extend the
term of a US attorney into the new administration and then arbitrarily demanding
his resignation.

May 16: Preet
Bharara being drafted for war on Trump
The fired U.S. attorney doesn’t like politics, but his admirers are pressing him
to wage a campaign to succeed Eric Schneiderman.
The pleas are partly a response to the sainted status that Bharara has achieved
since he forced President Donald Trump to fire him last year by refusing to
resign. But they’re also a sign of dissatisfaction with how the field of
candidates for the plum law enforcement post is shaping up. The key
qualifications are less about legal skills and more about who can navigate muddy
New York politics compounded by the backroom machinations of Gov. Andrew Cuomo.
