Bharara's response to DT's "absolute right" boast: "No, but you do have the right to remain silent."

Preet Bharara was responding to this tweet from the NYT's Peter Baker about yesterday's Trump interview:




“I have absolute right to do what I want to do with the Justice Department,” Trump tells @nytimes. “But for purposes of hopefully thinking I’m going to be treated fairly, I’ve stayed uninvolved with this particular matter.” @nytmike @shearm




Bharara:




No, but you do have the right to remain silent.

He has surprisingly broad interests. He is open minded and fair. I think his skills are needed more in governing or legislating. Many can properly and fairly adjudicate. Fewer can have the wisdom and fairness needed to govern. He is a New Jersey boy. He can replace Menendez in a primary, or replace Vice President Booker.

It should be blood vessels, but that looks like a growth. If it's vessels, he must have a major b/p problem. Just sayin'.

Preet and Richard Painter are having fun with this so-called POTUS.

he looks like he has a second penis growing under his skin in his arm. Well that assumes he has a first one though. And for the record, I'm not preoccupied with Trump' penis, it's just what came to mind when I saw his arm. It seemed too large to be a vein .
