That's down the food chain a good bit in a USA office, under the AsstUSAs.
Of course, a thorough investigation of all hirings and firings since the
day Ashcroft had Monica Goodling drap the boobs of justice is in order.
There were others dismissed, prosecutors in the District of Northern Texas, and the USA was moved to a judgeship around the same time:
"Two US Attorneys that appeared connected to the criminal investigation of Novation, LLC have died and three more in the Ft Worth office of the US Department of Justice with antitrust expertise have been dismissed.
97. The Ft. Worth US Attorney’s office has been at the epicenter of where civil antitrust actions by manufacturers foreclosed from group purchasing organization distribution systems have been litigated and is believed to have been the center of effort behind the government’s criminal investigation of hospital supply relationships.
98. On October 18, 2004 Leonard Senerote, A former U.S. Army Special Forces officer who was an expert in complex securities cases and an antitrust trial attorney, Michael Uhl and Michael Snipes, veteran prosecutors with expertise in white collar fraud and corruption were announced as separating from the Ft.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=389&topic_id=853813&mesg_id=853813
"eleven states were involved in litigation....The fraud investigation involved 30 U.S. attorneys' offices,
22 FBI field offices, inspectors general from the Health and Human Service Department and the Office of Personnel
Management, Defense Department investigators and state fraud units...."
Do the MATH. Was Carol Lam investigating voter fraud? NO
So-called "voter fraud" was a real track of activity, but is it the only one
to focus on when investigating the US attorney firings? NO!! emphatically.
However, if that could be accomplished, it would make some Rs very happy!!
