How Many US Attorneys Were Fired?

Post by Doug »

"How many United States attorneys have been asked to resign in the past year?" Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) asked Alberto Gonzales during a January 18th Senate Judiciary Committee hearing. Eight months later, she's still asking.

...When Feinstein asked then whether Gonzales had fired more than the nine U.S. attorneys that are publicly known, Gonzales said, maybe:

"Senator, there may have been others. I would be happy to get back to you with that kind of information about who has left. But I don't know the answer to your question. But I can certainly find out."

And the Justice Department still won't simply tell her how many U.S. attorneys have been fired.

Interesting how many matters that are supposed to be of public record aren't in this administration.
