The POTUS has the right to fire all 93 or so of them if he/she wants. For any reason.

he Dems are trying to cause more trouble, and obviously are forgetting that we are at War, and have many more important things for the President and the Congress to do than hyperventilate about small meaningless crap.


Legal or not, it seems wrong for the administration to fire a federal prosecutor because they are prosecuting your allies, or because they refuse to prosecute your enemies. If that is what happened, it deserves to be investigated. It's not as trivial an issue as you make it out to be.

And the GOP is just reaping what they sewed - they don't have a lot to stand on when objecting to intrusive, meaningless investigations. Clinton was impeached for lying about a blowjob when he was supposedly being investigated for a shady real estate deal.

If the Dems want a show trial, bring it on. The last big show trial they had, the Iran-Contra hearings, backfired on them in a big way. They'll come across as the smarmy cretins that they are...
