A short while ago I made a thread about the prosecutor who was fired so Rove's cloney could have the job. http://www.uspoliticsonline.com/brea...t-his-job.html

That was at the same time that 8 attorneys were all fired at once. Now 6 of them have testified to congress. Iglesias was called on the phone by two Republican senators (Heather Wilson and Pete Domenici) on seperate occasions asking him about sealed indictments. The indictments were about a Democrat and these two Republicans wanted to pressure them to be made public before the election. Very unethical behavour.

These attorneys are responsible for bring some of the Republican criminals to justice, Randy Duke Cunningham for instance.

They were warned by the Justice Dept not to talk publically about their being fired.

Sign Up

The attorneys were fired because of a lack of performance.... they didn't meet the policy goals of the White House on immigration and firearms...

Stop making this a partisan thing .. geez

White House Backed U.S. Attorney Firings, Officials Say
The White House approved the firings of seven U.S. attorneys late last year after senior Justice Department officials identified the prosecutors they believed were not doing enough to carry out President Bush's policies on immigration, firearms and other issues, White House and Justice Department officials said yesterday. Since they are appointed and they failed to meet the priorites .. well .. it makes perfect sense. Now, if you want to complain on the lack of communication [from the administration] to pre-emptively explain why the attorneys were replaced, I would agree with that argument.
