Former U.S. Attorney Todd Graves of Kansas City was one of 12 prosecutors considered for removal by the White House in 2005 and 2006, congressional sources say.

.... congressional sources, who asked not to be identified because they were not authorized to speak publicly, have told McClatchy Newspapers that four other attorneys, including Graves, were also targets for dismissal. .....

Graves wrote. “... the current environment at the department can only be described as toxic, and I am very thankful I left. … What is going on now in D.C. is a three-ring circus, and I don’t want to have anything to do with it.”
