PROSECUTOR WHO REFUSED TO QUIT
The departure of Preet Bharara from the U.S. Attorney's office reminds me of another similar situation back in 1969.
Robert Morgenthau was the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District, appointed originally by his friend, President Jack Kennedy. When Richard Nixon became president, although he had the power to replace Morgenthau, the feder...al prosecutor said he wouldn't leave. And Nixon didn't challenge him at first.
