  • Who's Who Firings Firestorm

    Justice Department at center of controversy over firing of eight U.S. attorneys.

(CBS)  What did Attorney General Gonzales know about the firing of U.S. prosecutors, and when did he know it? Why can't officials get their stories straight on what happened? The attorney general says he doesn't know the reasons the prosecutors were replaced, but new e-mails suggest that he did. We'll hear today from one of the fired prosecutors, Bud Cummins of Arkansas; from Sharon Eubanks, a career government lawyer who quit because she says Justice Department officials tried to manipulate her for political reasons. We'll hear from two members of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Democratic Chairman Patrick Leahy and Republican Lindsey Graham. For analysis we turn to Jim VandeHei of Politico.com and conservative columnist David Brooks of The New York Times.
