Immediately contacting them to organize protest against his dismissal..
Have selected one paragraph in CNN coverage story..As stated, this guy is a rock star

His office racked up nearly $500 million in settlements, including against Deutsche Bank and CitiMortgage for faulty lending practices. He targeted cyber hacking groups LulzSec and Anonymous, according to his profile on the Southern District's website.
Bharara's team of hard-driving prosecutors also went after international narcotics traffickers, corruption in local and state government, including in Albany, and took down gang kingpins and mobsters in the Bronx, Yonkers and other areas. His office extradited and sent to jail arms trafficker Viktor Bout and put Faisal Shahzad, the Times Square bomber, behind bars for life.
AND THEY ASKED FOR HIS RESIGNATION? This is another DROP DEAD N.Y. City (State) Moment!
