This US Attorney business is a very serious constitutional crisis. It very much appears that the Bush administration had hatched a plot--at the highest level--to first push into law a bill that circumvented senatorial oversight on US Attorney appointments, then had planned to fire *all* US Attorneys and replace them with political hacks who would then do the bidding of their political bosses, prosecuting Democrats while all Republican crimes go unprosecuted.
Schumer is positively *livid* about this. Go to TPM site and view and listen to the
Schumer/Feinstein presser. Schumer outlines an absolutely astounding trail of evidence that very well may show that ChimpCo has entered into such massive obstruction of justice that the entire Watergate affair will look like a minor matter.
This *is* HUGH1111!.
