You aren't reading very much about this, I see. These all _were_ Bush appointees. He fired all the leftovers from Clinton's administration. These were Republican attorneys, for the most part, but not political enough for the Whitehouse.
This _isn't_ normal. Typically, these appointments are replaced enmasse at the beginning of a new administration (which happened here, already, by Bush), and only replaced piecemeal for retirement, promotion, or for valid administrative reasons. The problem is, it looks like these particular people were fired for not bringing politically-inspired indictments BEFORE THE NOVEMBER ELECTION, even with serious political pressure to do so, and instead waiting until the evidence and the legal process dictated indictments. And one was fired for pursuing an indictment against a Republican politician in California, instead of dropping it as told. so I will ask this. If the talk went as follows, do you think it is still "business as usual". Is it a good thing for the country, and for our legal system? WH: how is that investigation going? A: Good. we are going to get indictments on some. WH: you need to have it done by the end of October. Otherwise, it won't help us in the elections. A: I don't think we can do that. The investigations are still ongoing. WH: I told you, hand in the indictments now. A: I can't do that. WH: You're fired.
