Excellent twitter thread on U.S. Attorney SDNY Berman's record of Trump protection.

Apologists for US Attorney Berman (SDNY) must contend with the following:

1-Berman donated money to Trump’s campaign

2-Berman worked on the Trump transition team

3-Berman was law partners with Giuliani

4-Berman’s dad was in NJ real estate and Kushner recommended him

5-Berman was one of only 3 US Attorneys personally interviewed for his job by Trump

6-Berman evaded Senate confirmation

7-Berman’s ties to Trump/Cohen caused him to be recused from the Cohen case

8-Berman hand-picked former Deutsche Bank GC to lead the Cohen investigation

9-SDNY scheduled interviews of Trump Org executives and then abandoned the investigation after Barr was appointed

10-Berman caused SDNY to intervene in Trump’s personal defense and argued that Trump should be immune from criminal investigation by the Manhattan DA

11-Berman failed to recuse himself from the Parnas case despite its obvious overlap with and implication of Trump and Giuliani

12-Berman met with Barr in NY on the day Parnas was arrested but claims the timing of Barr’s visit was coincidental

13-Berman has pretended in public that Parnas was fleeing the country to Vienna despite knowing it to be false

14-Berman has failed to arrest Giuliani despite his obvious involvement in the scheme for which Parnas and Fruman were arrested

15-Berman refuses to meet with Parnas to negotiate and hear what he has to say about Trump and Giuliani

16-Berman has failed to arrest Robert Hyde despite his involvement in a possible plot to assassinate an ambassador

It doesn’t take a genius to see what’s going on here...

I'm kicking myself now for being upset when I heard that Parnas had made bail. If he hadn't, he might have been dead before he could release anything.

I kind of fell for that one too. Don’t beat yourself up. These guys are devious and working hard to mislead us.

Very suspect esp. hearing that Avenatti is now in solitary in "El Chapo's old cell".

Trump has his Roy Cohn in Barr and it seems Roy Cohn clones in the Bermans of this world.
