In Mr. Kyle Sampson’s opening statement there was a very interesting paragraph –
“The distinction between political- and performance-related reasons for removing a U.S. attorney is, in my view, largely artificial. A U.S. attorney who is unsuccessful from a political perspective, either because he or she has alienated the leadership of the department in Washington or cannot work constructively with law enforcement or other governmental constituencies in the district, is unsuccessful.”
Let’s remember that these were “loyal” republicans. All of these attorneys were Republicans. Most of them were selected by their Senator who told the Bush White House that these guys were loyal republicans. If they weren’t they wouldn’t have been nominated.
