Congress is all up in arms about this, at least Democratic members of congress are. There's going to be an "investigation", after all, this MUST be politically motivated.
WASHINGTON — The White House suggested to the Justice Department two years ago that all 93 U.S. attorneys be fired, according to e-mails and internal documents that the administration will provide to Congress today.
So this is unusual how? Didn't President Clinton and Attorney General Janet Reno do this back in the early 1990's with ALL of the U.S. attorneys?
Isn't the Justice Department part of the Executive branch of the government?
