"Heeey! What was wrong with firing all 93 US Attorneys in 1993? They was gettin' "Too close" - if ya know whata mean!"
Perhaps there was no outrage like now, because it was 14 years ago, and the world has changed quite a bit and different people are thinking differently...

This same point came up a little while ago on NYC WABC talk radio. I don't remember hearing anything about Reno's actions then. (In hindsight, no big surprise.)
You could even say she sounds shakey.
Life the religion of perpetual ortrage, the Party of Perpetual Outrage (the Rats) was in charge then, thus no outrage.
are you serious? Haven't you heard it said a million times that ALL AGs replace the entire US attorney staff when the White House changes hands? If it happened in 1993, then its EXACTLY the same as when Harriet Myers fired all the US attorneys in 2001. This is a very disingenuous post.
Eleonor Clift not only drinks the Clinton Kool-aid she drinks it after its passed through.
There was an outrage from the conservative press - several articles from the time have been reprinted on these threads.
It died pretty quickly, as this would have done had members of the Justice Department not lied about the reasons for the firing, thereby turning a non-scandal into a legitimate scandal. Time for more heads to roll before this gets any worse.
