Did Clinton Also Fire Prosecutors? (BARF ALERT) ^

She seemed pretty friendly with President Clinton. If she was raped why would she be in the same room....questionable situation at best. I always wondered why it did not get legs well maybe that could be why. She socialized with him.
""In order to determine how many U.S. attorneys had served less than four years
with tenure uninterrupted by a change in presidential administration, CRS began by
contacting the Executive Office for United States Attorneys (EOUSA), which serves
as the liaison between U.S. attorneys and the Department of Justice. CRS first
contacted the EOUSA January 24, 2007, to seek records on the appointment and
termination dates for U.S. attorneys. As of February 20, 2007, EOUSA had not
provided the requested data. CRS also contacted the Office of Personnel
Management (OPM), which maintains the Central Personnel Data File (CPDF). CRS
spoke with a representative in OPM’s Congressional Liaison Office and was told that
the database could not produce the information needed. The OPM representative
referred CRS to the Department of Justice."
Er, I guess like ContemptOfCourt your reading skills are somewhat lacking. (Do you reside in DC?)
The CRS asked the wrong people.
They were finally directed to the DoJ.
There is no evidence that the DoJ is refusing to cooperate with them.
You troll.
> The CRS asked the wrong people.
They were only the wrong people in the sense that they didn't **want** to give the information.
Either of the referenced agencies could have put together the data from their records, presumably without much difficulty.
> They were finally directed to the DoJ.
So it seems we both certainly agree that the DoJ HAS the information you claim is being hidden by the media?
"She seemed pretty friendly with President Clinton. If she was raped why would she be in the same room....questionable situation at best. I always wondered why it did not get legs well maybe that could be why. She socialized with him."
That photo was taken when Clinton was still the attorney general and running for Governor.
He stopped by one of JB's nursing homes to campaign. The alleged incident occurred later.
"So it seems we both certainly agree that the DoJ HAS the information you claim is being hidden by the media?"
The media could ask these questions at their various news conferences or via other means.
My point is that they haven't. (Just as they avoided any mention of Clinton's firing of 92 of the 93 prosecutors when he took office.)
Instead, "reporters" for the Washington Post just put out unsubstantiated claims, such as that quoted in the article.
You are trolling. It should be clear to all by now.
> The media could ask these questions at their various news
> conferences or via other means.
It seems the DoJ COULD just respond to a two month old request from the CRS and clear it right up, too. That doesn't seem to interest you as much, though?

Or of Reagan's similar action, for that matter:
"The Reagan administration, for example, acted in its own interests much the same as the Clinton administration had in its when it sought the prompt removal of all U.S. Attorneys from the previous administration, notwithstanding the fact that most of the persons whose nominations were to be submitted had not been selected and many interim persons would be required."

(That's George HW's AG, btw)
Maybe because it isn't relevant?
> You are trolling.
Truly, I am trying to understand what's going on.
Sadly, that isn't even _part_ of the goal of some posters.
mojo, you have been around FR long enough...having been banned twice..that you should know that you should ping another poster when talking about them.
"It seems the DoJ COULD just respond to a two month old request from the CRS and clear it right up, too. That doesn't seem to interest you as much, though?"
Repeating a lie doesn't make it any more true.
You have yet to produce evidence that the CRS requested this information of the DoJ (qua DoJ) four months ago.
And it is still irrelevant to my point, which involves the media reporting things for which there is no substantiation -- and ignoring things are well-known facts, such as Clinton's actions.
But yours is a paradigmatic troll tactic. Congratulations for picking it up so quickly in your brief tenure here. (LOL)
"four months ago" should be "two months ago."
"That's George HW's AG, btw"
Another lie.
Gerson was Bill Clinton's acting attorney general at the start of his first term.
Inside the Justice Department and the U.S. Attorneys Controversy - washingtonpost.com
"It is customary for a President to replace U.S. Attorneys at the beginning of a term. Ronald Reagan replaced every sitting U.S. Attorney when he appointed his first Attorney General. President Clinton, acting through me as Acting Attorney General, did the same thing, even with few permanent candidates in mind."

How telling that you would produce the very man who helped carry out Clinton's firings of 92 of 93 of the US Attorneys, as he plays semantic games to say that Reagan did the same thing. (And even go so far as to lie and say that he was GHW Bush's AG.)
Clinton (and Gerson) fired them in while they were still in their four year terms.
From all indications Reagan (and all prior Presidents) did not. Which is a big difference.
Especially when the media is trying stir up outrage at Bush signing off on the firing of 8 while they were in the middle of their terms -- which I don't even believe is true.
I believe most of them were past the end of their terms.
But nice try at trolling there.
(Does Soros pay good benefits?)
Wait, mojo...I thought Reno fired them all.
Oh, that's right, Reno fired them, not Gerson....who was, by the way, appointed Assistant Attorney General for the Civil Division during Bush the Elder's term, and was acting AG under clinton until March 12, 1993.

The request is outstanding for two months to various agencies of the Executive. When do _you_ suppose it will be answered?
Truthfully?

Kind of like your claim that Clinton asked for the resignations of 30 prosecutors, even though you _know_, or should know, that most of them left for other appointments or on their own, based on the history that IS in the CRS report?
No, you're not a troll. No way.
LOL
During the 1988 Presidential election, Mr. Gerson was a senior advisor to the campaign of George H.W. Bush on matters including debate preparation, comparative research and surrogate speaking on criminal justice, judicial, health policy and defense issues. He later was a Transition Team leader in the Office of the President-elect with regard to international banking agencies. He also served in the presidential transition of President George W. Bush.
Hardly a democrat operative, wouldn't you say?
mojo, I just enjoy demonstrating your complete lack of candor and integrity. You try to spin everything your way, then run away when proven wrong. Whenever someone disagrees with you, you yell "troll". You argue like a 6 year old. And you fail to address any questions posed to you.
