None of them said a word until the administration claimed they had been fired for incompetence, despite their glowing performance evaluations. Both New Mexico senators have acknowledged calling Iglesias, the New Mexico U.S. attorney, to ask about the progress of an investigation into Democratic corruption in the state prior to the election, in which a Republican candidate for Congress was facing a very tough race (she won, but just barely). The senators had no business doing that.

There are no grounds for such investigations in the first place. They're bogus. The U.S. attorneys looked into the charges and found they had no merit. > So, why didn't you post a link to the Journal? > > That's the problem with partisans like you - you only want us > to read one side of each story. There really isn't any other side to this story, not that's legitimate, at any rate. The Wall Street Journal editorial board, as you know, leans way far to the right. That's misleading and unfair.

Bush and Reagan also fired most of the attorneys when they took office. while the Whitewater investigation was going on. Go > figure. The Whitewater investigation (which cleared the Clintons of any wrongdoing) began in 1994.
