Berman making the rounds

During an appearance on MSNBC’s “The Rachel Maddow Show,” on Monday, Berman, who was the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York told host Rachel Maddow that his department was working on several cases including one involving former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon in the months ahead of the election.

“How was your work as U.S. attorney a threat to Trump’s reelection?” Maddow asked.

“Well, at the time I was fired, the Southern District of New York was working on a couple politically sensitive cases. One of those cases is the Steve Bannon ‘we build the wall’ case and we were very close to indicting that case around the time I got fired, and Barr knew about the case,” Berman told Maddow.

[...]

Once Bannon was indicted by Berman’s successor, Trump pardoned Bannon, which Berman called “outrageous.”

Earlier Monday, Berman told ABC’s “Good Morning America” that the Trump administration’s Department of Justice pressured him to indict former Obama White House counsel Greg Craig before the midterm elections and prosecute former Secretary of State John Kerry.

  The Hill

Bill Barr's attempts to rehabilitate himself lately should be seen in light of what he's actually been and done, but holding important information back for your own personal gain when it should have been revealed does not speak well of Berman, either.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.

UPDATE:  This reminds me that even had these self-serving people writing books had revealed what they knew at the time, the Trump DOJ and Congress wouldn't have pursued Trump.

UPDATE:  The DOJ takes on the case.  They should have plenty of first-hand evidence, shouldn't they?
