Thank God these fired U.S. Attorneys finally get a voice, and a chance to expose what really went on. It has been far too long since they were fired without cause. I can hardly wait till the wrath of the U.S. Congress falls on the President. How can he possibly justify firing every U.S. Attorney in the country? (Except one.) And without even a polite note explaining why?

Only one U.S. Attorney escaped the carnage. And it's fortunate for him that he did - he is now the Director of Homeland Security. What careers have the others had since being summarily and unjustly fired?

Go get 'em, Samatha. I'm glad to see you've started a thread to examine this travesty. Let us know what you find out. In the private sector, firing someone without cause, is often grounds for a lawsuit. Do you think it's possible to sue the President himself, on mulitple counts of the same unjust act? He has fired EVERY U.S. attorney in the country! (Except that one).

The firing took place on March 24, 1993. The President was Bill Clinton. Many speculate he did it to defuse investigations into Democrat Congressman Dan Rostenkowski's activities in the House Banking Scandal, and also to defuse an ongoing investigation into a little-known group called Whitewater Investments of Little Rock, Arkansas.

Samantha, I'm glad you feel these mass, unjustified firings might not have had "no reason" after all. They certainly smell bad, at least in some quarters.

Go get 'em! You WILL let us know what you find, won't you?
