Lerner to GOP candidate: We'll drop charges if you promise never to run again

lol whyd clinton fire all the us attorneys??? never heard about this

While the media, Democrats, and a few Republicans continue to criticise the Administration's conduct in this fiasco, we have to go back several years for a bit of rememberance. I am sure most people did not know that under former President Bill Clinton's term as President, former Attorney General Janet Reno fired all 93 U.S. Attorneys in March 1993.

That's right, Janet Reno, with the approval of the President, evicted all the attorney generals.

In response to the hoopla, President Clinton said it was perfectly ordinary. "All those people are routinely replaced and I have not done anything differently." But this was not true. The firing of all the prosecutors was unprecedented. Previous Presidents, including Ronald Reagan and Jimmy Carter, had both retained holdovers from the previous Administration and only replaced them gradually as their tenures expired. This allowed continuity of leadership within the U.S. Attorney offices during the transition.
Through the Magnifying Glass: Firing all 93 US Attorneys? It has been done before. Ask Clinton.
 
What is it with you libirals, you defend anything and everything to the bitter end. All evidence points to this bitch abusing her post. At some point simple math and common sense should kick in
