Ex-U.S. Attorney Bharara to Trump: don't mess with Manhattan probes

- Preet Bharara, the ex-U.S. Attorney in Manhattan, has a piece of unsolicited advice for President Donald Trump: don't meddle with investigations being pursued by his former office, especially one involving the Trump business or a family member.

A recurring theme in the book is the reputation of the Manhattan U.S. Attorney's office – formally known as the Southern District of New York – for political neutrality and independence. Reuters asked Bharara what would happen if Trump ordered the Southern District to halt a probe, a prospect that may not be far-fetched given that Trump last year asked then-acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker if Geoffrey Berman, Bharara's Trump-appointed successor, could be tapped to oversee the Cohen investigation, according to the New York Times.Bharara said if he were still U.S. attorney and received such an order he would resign and buy"a one-way ticket for the shuttle to D.C.

Bharara's book is not about Trump but he acknowledges the president"infuses the book like he infuses everyone's life at the moment" even if he is not cited frequently by name.

Truely he needs to be taken into custody. Do you realize how much damage he could do! Can you trust him? I say no! Trump is damaged, or worse. I agree with Conway
