Okay, I may have been wrong. I do know Clinton fired ALL the US attorneys en masse. I know Bush didn't. It would have been nice to know how many and what percentage were replaced when Bush took office. I would hope the Post wouldn't exaggerate in order to mislead. I do know the article was misleading about one point. Clinton didn't dismiss "nearly all" as the article said. He fired them ALL immediately en masse. ATTORNEY GENERAL SEEKS RESIGNATIONS FROM PROSECUTORS By DAVID JOHNSTON March 24, 1993 Attorney General Janet Reno today demanded the prompt resignation of all United States Attorneys, leading the Federal prosecutor in the District of Columbia to suggest that the order could be tied to his long-running investigation of Representative Dan Rostenkowski, a crucial ally of President Clinton. Jay B. Stephens, the United States Attorney for the District of Columbia, who is a Bush Administration holdover, said he had advised the Justice Department that he was within 30 days of making a “critical decision” in the Rostenkowski case when Ms. Reno directed him and other United States Attorneys to submit their resignations, effective in a matter of days. While prosecutors are routinely replaced after a change in Administration, Ms. Reno’s order accelerated what had been expected to be a leisurely changeover. sweetness-light.com
