Justice department scandal
This whole thing reeks of Karl Rove. It makes a lot of sense to fire prosecutors not sympathetic with the Administrations goal of investigating Democratic law makers. Turning the whole corruption scandal wave back against the Democrats was a good political strategy, even if legally dubious. That's the Rove way.

Hillary Clinton knows all about sacking U.S. Attorneys.

Congressional Democrats are in full cry over the news this week that the Administration's decision to fire eight U.S. Attorneys originated from--gasp--the White House. Senator Hillary Clinton joined the fun yesterday, blaming President Bush for 'the politicization of our prosecutorial system.' Oh, my.
As it happens, Mrs. Clinton is just the Senator to walk point on this issue of dismissing U.S. attorneys because she has direct personal experience. In any Congressional probe of the matter, we'd suggest she call herself as the first witness--and bring along Webster Hubbell as her chief counsel."
As the good book says, "There is nothing new under the sun."
