Comments on: "Inconvenient" U.S. Attorneys Fired?

Sen. Dianne Feinstein Says Attorneys Working Major Corruption Cases Were Let Go

antoniof123 - I really feel that the Bushies don't care what Bush does - he tells them what they want to hear and they aren't bright enough to want to know any different - they like having someone take all power away from them - it let's them feel at ease for accepting none of their responsibility as an American - they're really much more like helpless angry children than any of us ever wanted to believe.

Inconvenient?? Try illegal - if Bush fired these prosecutors because or as they were investing his cronies and political allies than that IS illegal. It is illegal for ANYONE including President of US to impede a federal criminal investigation.

OK, numbskulls, ONE MORE TIME!..... I don't know if a stream of Hannity, Limbaugh, O'Rielly and FOX News is constantly going, but it's time to start looking at the facts (and there are plenty here, contrary to what is acknowledged).

Bush apologists here keep repeating the same broken record, "But CLINTON fired all 93 U. S. Attorneys when he took office and Bush only fired 8!" Not only is the part of the sentence about Bush not correct (he fired all the U.S. Attorneys when he took office, too), but here's the truth:

All eight of these U.S. Attorneys are Bush appointees. All are Republican. George W. Bush appointed all new prosecutors upon assuming office, just like Bill Clinton, George H. W. Bush, Ronald Reagan.... This happens with each new president. The difference here is that Alberto Gonzales replaced these prosecutors with interim appointments which do not have to go through confirmation in the U.S. Senate. This is due to a hidden provision in the USA PATRIOT Act. But the reason U.S. Attorneys have Senate confirmation in the first place is that it is an expression of confidence in their character and to insure that they would be free from partisan service.

This is an effort to replace these prosecutors with Rovian hacks who will skirt the law and the ethical boundaries to the detriment of our civil liberties. If you're not outraged by this, you're not paying attention.

Where do some of you get your information from. My god what is wrong with you people. Do you not relize the danger of having the DOJ falling under the influence of one group this is not an issue between Dems and Reps. It is an issure of freedom and justice. If that fails then we truly have become nazi Germany and all hope is lost. For those of you who defend this action you need to go back to school I believe it was 4th grade. this tells me that you did not complete 3rd grade and my step son who was born in another country knows more then you fools. Freedom is not free and it goes beyound party lines.

I wouldn't say there's a lot of venom and hate - I'd put it down to "this is the internet where everyone is an expert and wants to push across their opinion, no matter how forcefully".

At the end of the day, everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

Of course, it should also be pointed out that everyone is entitled to a certain amount of respect, and I would just like to take this opportunity to apologise for the name calling.

Well, I thank you for your truthful response.

As I said earlier, your claim was at least partially based in truth, however, it wasn't actually accurate and was a bit of an exaggeration (to say the least).

My recollection is that they weren't actually collecting files, however, one of Hillary's employees was reported to have looked at the FBI files of approximately 400 republicans.

There was an investigation, Hillary was interviewed, found to have nothing to do with it, it made the papers and that was pretty much it.

While it wasn't illegal, it was certainly an invasion of privacy of those individuals and in my opinion, wrong.

Whether or not Hillary was involved, I have no idea, but it doesn't seem likely.

And I can say that with all honesty, because, quite frankly, I hate the Clintons - only marginally less than I hate GW Bush and the rest of the Bush family.

I can tell you that I don't listen to Rush or Fox so I KNOW the information was nOT from them!

How old are you?

Oh, and where is your proof?

You can't find any, can you. :-)

So, seeing as you can't prove your claims, at least tell me where you heard them from.

Rush? Fox? Or some other rednecked/right wing/republican propagandist show?
