Bharara says Trump phone calls made him uncomfortable

[Wingnut]

Bharara was a “resistance Democrat.”!   Aren't they all anymore these days!

Preet Bharara, a prominent former U.S. attorney ousted by President Trump, said Sunday that he reported to the Justice Department efforts by the president to “cultivate some kind of relationship” with him, describing phone calls from Trump that made him increasingly uncomfortable.

In his first sit-down interview since his March removal, Bharara said he reported one of the phone calls to the chief of staff for Attorney General Jeff Sessions because it made him uneasy. He said he was dismissed from the important prosecutor’s job in Manhattan only 22 hours after he finally refused to take a call from the president.

The recollections add a new dimension to the intensifying debate over Trump’s firing of former FBI director James B. Comey, who was removed from his job after private conversations with Trump that he viewed as inappropriate. Comey testified before Congress last week that Trump told him he hoped the FBI would drop an investigation into former national security adviser Michael Flynn. Trump has said Comey’s version of events is untrue.

I always believe anonymous sources at the New York Times.  It's become my lodestar.

... Bharara said he reported one of the phone calls to the chief of staff for Attorney General Jeff Sessions because it made him uneasy.

Comey and Bharara's severance packages should be augmented to include lifetime supplies
of Tampons.

Has Bharara said what about the calls made him uncomfortable?  Or is he just going snowflake?

No it does not. 

But it sure does make one wonder who the hell came up with the "frightened American male" line of attack.

I can only surmise that he has gone full-on, whimpering snowflake, @Oceander.

These passive males, like the 6'8", milquetoast giant Comey, just can't meet a challenging figure head-on.

It depends.  Comey's statements were unconvincing, but it's possible that other peoples' statements might be more believable.

Don't have to.  Trump has already shown himself to be a sleazebag.

Thanks.  I like it.  I was using a picture of my son-in-law and his and my daughter's dog, Sparky, the Golden Retriever.

But Sparky died suddenly three days ago at the age of only six and the household is in doggie mourning.
