Maybe he's using the Russian definition of standard practice?
Or maybe Bill Clinton should have not have fired 93 attorneys in one day giving Trump perfect precedent for his actions.

Difference is it won't be a surprise because some cable news hack recommended it.Don't worry this will be replicated when we take back office.

Every president replaces US attorneys. They don't all give them no notice. When Clinton let all the attorneys go he gave them notice and also allowed them to apply for the positions again.
That's not how that happened but I was beaten to the punch by pigeon.Or maybe Bill Clinton should have not have fired 93 attorneys in one day giving Trump perfect precedent for his actions.
This is standard procedure that most presidents participate in. Why leave guys in office that were not appointed by you.
Fox News and Breitbart are state-run media.
It is when it appears to have been triggered by the President taking orders from Fox News.Yup it's not really that big of a deal.

Troubling part IMO is less that it's so poorly executed, but rather that once again policy and action by the president was prompted by cable news
As in why he did it now, so suddenly, and en masse
As shootfast mentioned Bill Clinton canned 96. This is normal.
No it is not. As mentioned, they were informed before hand, weren't let go until replacements were in place, and were allowed to reapply for positions. How is that the same as what Cheetolini is doing?
As shootfast mentioned Bill Clinton canned 96. This is normal.
A trio of watchdog groups has asked the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York to investigate whether President Trump has received payments or other benefits from foreign governments through his business interests in violation of an obscure clause in the U.S. Constitution.
The request, sent by letter Wednesday morning to U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara, is a novel strategy by ethics critics who have been pressing Trump to comply with the Constitutions emoluments clause, which prohibits top officials from receiving payments or favors from foreign governments.
We really need to start paying attention to context on here in general. I don't mean to single you out but some are too quick to be on the defensive/offensive that we inadvertently paint things with too broad of a stroke.As shootfast mentioned Bill Clinton canned 96. This is normal.
That's what I'm thinking. I'm not going to take everything this Administration at face value. Preet Bharara was asked by Trump and Sessions to stay on and he agreed to, but then he is one of the attorneys getting sacked. Doesn't sound right.
But in Trump's Soviet Russia, state-run media runs state!Fox News and Breitbart are state-run media.

Edit: it should be noted that the act of replacing attorneys is a normal and expected action by a new President and administration. The troubling and notable aspect here isn't the asking to resign, it's the sudden and en masse approach and why such an action was done now (because he was prompted by a report on Fox)

I wonder...

Ah ha, now it's all making senseWhat's different here is that there was no warning and it is happening before replacements - before nominees, even - have been found.
It's a massive disrupt to cases in-process and the justice system.
It's also very, very strange that Preet Bharara is included in this when Trump personally and publicly asked him to stay.
It could have something to do with this:
Watchdogs ask U.S. attorney to investigate Trump over foreign business deals

What's worse, that he did this or that he did this so blatantly as if to say he's not worried about any repercussionsRachel Maddow made the excellent point last night that two days ago Preet Bharara received a letter from watch dogs groups requesting him to investigate whether Trump's business is getting illegal payments and benefits from foreign Governments that go on to Trump himself (as he has not divested himself as he is required to). Bharara has jurisdiction as US Attorney of Manhattan because that's where Trump's business is located.

I'm sure Sessions gave him the idea, not fucking Sean Hannity,
