That blatant purge of top federal prosecutors was simply another arrogant and manipulative abuse of power
by the Bush administration, designed to further its efforts to put this country under the control of one political party.
The Congressional Research Service recently issued a report which showed that of 468 U.S. attorney confirmations
over the last 25 years, only 10 left involuntarily. In other words, the Bush administration fired almost as many U.S.
attorneys in one week as had been let go over the past 25 years. The only apparent "misconduct" of the eight Bush
appointees was their failure to prosecute Democrats before last year's mid-term election.
