Why didn't you scream when Clinton fired ALL of the US Attorneys in
order to keep it from looking like he was just firing those
investigating Mina?

It's not uncommon for a new President to replace all the US Attorneys when
they come to office.

On the March 13 edition of MSNBC's Hardball with Chris Matthews, former GOP
presidential candidate and MSNBC political analyst Pat Buchanan said that
"it is not unusual for all U.S. attorneys -- or almost all except some
outstanding ones, to be replaced when a new party comes into power, say, in
1993 or 2001."

Stuart M. Gerson, assistant attorney general in the administration of
President George H.W. Bush, observed in the Washington Post, "It is
customary for a President to replace U.S. attorneys at the beginning of a
term." Gerson added that "Ronald Reagan replaced every sitting U.S. attorney
when he appointed his first Attorney General."

Reagan did it to Carter's appointees; Clinton did it to the Reagan/Bush
appointees; and George W. Bush did it to the Clinton appointees.

It's HIGHLY unusual for a sitting President to target their OWN appointees
for dismissal in the middle of a second term ...

Actually no it isn't. What's more, perhaps you can tell us why it would be
an issue?

In an e-mail to Harriet Miers on Jan. 9, Attorney General Alberto Gonzales¹s
chief of staff Kyle Sampson (who has since resigned) admitted that the
Clinton administration never purged its U.S. attorneys in the middle of
their terms, explicitly stating, "In recent memory, during the Reagan and
Clinton Administrations, Presidents Reagan and Clinton did not seek to
remove and replace U.S. Attorneys they had appointed ... but instead
permitted such U.S. Attorneys to serve indefinitely under the holdover
provision."

So what you're saying is that left field is just like right field but the
colors are different?

I'm saying that both fields cleared out the US Attorney's offices at the
beginning of the first terms after a party change in the White House ...
Reagan cleared out Carter's, Clinton cleared out Reagan/Bush's, and Shrub
cleared out Clinton's.

I'm also saying, and Alberto Gonzales' chief-of-staff agrees, that mid-term
replacements of attorneys by a sitting president is extremely unusual;
Reagan didn't do it; Bush-the-elder didn't do it; and Clinton didn't do it
.... yet Bush-the-idiot did do it, and for purely political reasons, since
despite the fact that he appointed them, and that they had outstanding
performance reviews, the 9 that were fired had some capability for
independent thought.
