“Well the Republican congress certainly set a precedent of investigating how the President pleasures himself, didn’t they.”

Actually no. If you are lazy intellectually and highly partisan, you might think that, though. Clinton was impeached for perjury and obstruction of justice, not for having an affair with a young intern under his power.

And seriously, Jay, maybe you could tell me- do US Attorneys also get forced by Senators to violate ethics rules at the pleasure of the President? Looks like they do. Too bad that's illegal.

As John suggests, Alberto "Wilhelm Stuckart" Gonzales testified under oath before Congress that none of these firings were politically motivated. Yet here we have one of the suddenly fired attorneys being pressured by Repub. Rep. Heather Wilson & Sen. Pete Domenici to speed up an investigation of a Democratic official just before the November election. This should be funny.

How many times does it need to be said? US Attorneys serve at the pleasure of the President

Get to the bottom of what?!?

How many times does it need to be said? US Attorneys serve at the pleasure of the President. He can fire them at any time. For any reason.

I have to really laugh at the phony outrage of a bunch of Democrats getting weepy over Republican appointed US attorneys.
