A New Mystery to Prosecutors: Their Lost Jobs

[...]

The ouster of Mr. Bogden and seven other United States attorneys has set off a furor in Washington that took the Bush administration by surprise.

they CAN'T UNDERSTAND why a GROUP FIRING of HIGHLY EFFECTIVE PROSECUTORS by THE MOST HIGHLY POLITICAL PRESIDENTIAL ADMINISTRATION IN HISTORY intent on AMASSING UNFETTERED EXECUTIVE POWER would set off a furor...?

When George H.W. Bush faced a tough reelection battle in 1992, his administration tried to destroy Bill Clinton by implicating him in criminal investigations.
