26, no, make that 30 U.S. Attorneys

the wapo offers a list of the 26 and a timeline...

(click on image or here to see full-size graphic)

but TPMmuckraker reports that mcclatchy has now identified 4 more, for a total of 30 (out of 93)...

Some targets who ultimately weren't fired were Christopher J. Christie in New Jersey, whose office subpoenaed Democratic Senator Robert Menendez just before the November 2006 elections; Mary Beth Buchanan in Pittsburgh, Pa., who had worked for the Justice Department in Washington; and Dunn Lampton in Mississippi, who pursued a high-profile prosecution of a powerful Democratic donor and several Democratic judges on bribery changes.

why is gonzales still attorney general...? why is bush still president...?
