Aide: U.S. Attorney Firings Were Politically MotivatedPosted on Mar 28, 2007According to prepared remarks obtained in advance of his testimony, Alberto Gonzales’ former chief of staff believes the eight U.S. attorneys were fired for political reasons: “A U.S. attorney who is unsuccessful from a political perspective ... is unsuccessful.” Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Pat Leahy warned that even Gonzales’ resignation would not derail his investigation into the firings. “In case anybody’s thinking of shortchanging it that way, I have a message for them: We’ll finish this investigation before we’ll have any confirmation hearings for a new attorney general,” Leahy said Wednesday.

Remember a guy named Adolph Hitler.
He first took control of the Executive branch, then the Military, then the intelligence and law enforcement branch.
Move over Hitler, there’s a new sheriff in town!
Seriously, if Congress refuses to take back their legal powers from the president, we the people may have to get active in the process ourselves.

“A U.S. attorney who is unsuccessful from a political perspective ... is unsuccessful,” Sampson said.
Report thisGee - what a surprise. How can this be happening in our family values, truth, justice and the American way administration. The problem with the Bu$hies is that they don’t even lie convincingly anymore.

Everybody knows that U.S. Attorney firings were politically motivated and we do not need this guy to open his mouth. Any ones working under AG is at the same category = STUPID!
