Former US Attorneys: Rove Was Behind Firings..."I Think There Will Be A Criminal Case"

The Seattle Times | David Bowermaster | May 9, 2007 at 11:53 AM

Two former U.S. attorneys said today they believe ongoing investigations into the dismissals last year of eight federal prosecutors could result in criminal charges against senior Justice Department officials.

John McKay, the former U.S. attorney for Western Washington, and David Iglesias, the former U.S. attorney for New Mexico, also said they believe White House political operative Karl Rove and his aides instigated the dismissals and ultimately decided who among the nation's 93 U.S. attorneys should be fired.

3. I'm not sure I have such faith that there'll be prosecutions but, aside from that...
I was reading about this from the TPM site and reading another section about Gonzales giving a "I work for the White House, you work for the White House" speech he made, and McKay couldn't believe Gonzales really meant it. (Too bad for you that he did mean it, McKay. Principle is expensive under this administration.)

Remind me again why Democrats rolled over during his confirmation hearings?
