Exactly. I didn’t hear any outrage, not even from Repubs, when THAT happened. I’m so sick of it all...

Sometimes I post off the wall comments, or intentionally mis-spell words, just to see what reactions I get. It can be pretty funny.

I doubt if any of them would know HOW to shovel sand. Their poll numbers are so low I wonder how they can even lift their heads.

“When will Clinton come forward and explain why he fired all of the federal prosecutors?”

Don’t bring up stuff that has nothing to do with anything. Bush officials have acknowledged that Bush did the exact same thing Clinton did, he just spread it out over a few months.

The down side of Bush’s staff being forced to testify is that the president could no longer trust the integrity of the information. Who is going to advise the president if they can be forced to appear before congress and reveal the conversation? Think Scooter Libby.

You are incorrect sir. Clinton fired ALL of the federal prosectors to block his impending indictment. Then hired them all back except for the one who was working on his case.

President Bush fired a handful of federal prosecutors who were pursuing agendas that conflicted with his philosophy.

And it is relevant because Clinton claimed executive privilege and refused to allow any of his staff to testify before Congress. The Dems are hypocrites if they say President Bush's staff has to testify when they supported Clinton when he said his staff didn't.

Bush fired virtually every prosecutor within the first few months of taking office.

From another FR thread about this subject.

“Also see the text of this memo from the documents released from the DOJ to the Senate:

“In a March 4 memo titled “Draft Talking Points,” Justice Department spokeswoman Tasia Scolinos asked, “The [White House] is under the impression that we did not remove all the Clinton [U.S. attorneys] in 2001 like he did when he took office. Is that true?”

That is mostly true, replied D. Kyle Sampson, then chief of staff to Atty. Gen. Alberto R. Gonzales. “Clinton fired all Bush [U.S. attorneys] in one fell swoop. We fired all Clinton [U.S. attorneys] but staggered it out more and permitted some to stay on a few months,” he said.

A few minutes later, Deputy Atty. Gen. Paul J. McNulty replied to the same memo.

“On the issue of Clinton [U.S. attorneys], we called each one and had them give us a timeframe. Most were gone by late April. In contrast, Clinton [Justice Department] told all but a dozen in early March to be gone immediately,” McNulty said.”

Reagan also fired virtually all of the U.S. attorneys he inherited but took longer to do it.
