The calls for Alberto Gonzales’ firing are having some effect. Today his top aide Kyle Sampson resigned. Today an email exchange between Sampson and Harriet Miers discussing Attorneys that should be pushed out was released. The exchange shows a link directly to Bush and Rove to the firings. Now the wingers will be flocking to this thread talking about how Clinton fired all of them when he took ofice. I will point out that the difference here appears to be that Clinton got rid of everyone, rather than selectively removing a few that were political liabilities or unwilling to play ball.
The Pete Domenici situation alone is enough to throw all of the firings into question. Sen. Pete Domenici (R-NM) called the US Attorney David Iglesias to see if he was going indict Democrats in the runup to the elections in November. When Iglesias said no, Domenici hung up on him. There is a similar tale to go with Doc Hastings (R-WA).
