When there's a crime, they should.
This is a fishing expedition. Much like Libby, if we harass & pester long enough, sooner or later someone will say something contradictory to sworn testimony & then they can create a crime.

Clearly you're from another planet. That ain't the way we do things 'round these parts.
Submitted for your perusal:
A voice from the not so distant past
It ain't gonna change before the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November 2008 either. You (collective) asked for this, you voted for this, now STFU and deal with the consequences of your choices last November. Some of us tried to avoid it. We were over ruled. I don't wanna hear any whining. Created manufactured crises and scandals will continue to be the rule of the day since the voting public endorsed the shit stirrers and put them in power. Hopefully two years of it will be enough to show them the error of their ways. If not, we get spike for another four years.

True enough, but not allowing them to swear in or have what they transcribed is pretty much encouraging them to lie more.

What does that have to do with all politicians being liars? Expecting any of them to "tell the f-ing truth" is an exercise in futility, isn't it?
Once again, I maintain that it has no effect who's been elected, the same shit's going to happen.
Agreeing with your point about "how we do things".
This is how things are going to be done.
Absolutely not. Allowing them to continue to do what they choose, instead of holding them responsible, is our fault.

Bush cleaned house in 2001 and replaced the attorneys in the same way that Clinton did when he came into office. This is pretty much standard practice and we can expect that the next president will do the same.
What has people irked about the 9 AG's recently, is that they were already Bush appointees, but apparently didn't pursue politically motivated cases with enough vigor to satisfy the administration.
Many of these US Attorneys (all Republicans) were investigating corruption cases against Republican elected officials. Now imagine if prosecutors were told by politicians who they were allowed to prosecute and who they could not prosecute.

I wouldn't say it was totally our fault by any means (being VERY general here) - but in essence i agree Gonz - one cannot but agree with Chcr's skepticism - but if we follow that nihilisitic road too far then we are as you say to blame to a degree.
By "we" i mean the general population of many many societies and political systems across the world -
the phrase 'hill of beans' comes to mind - but at least , still, there are the beans themselves to shape...

How do these two statements square?:
"I was not involved in the deliberations over whether or not the US attorneys should resign…"
"I know why I asked these United States attorneys to leave and it was not for improper reasons…"
Time for him to go.

Since when do you have to be conicted of a crime to get fired?
I'm not saying lock him up just yet. I'm saying fire his corrupt lying ass.
This sure ain't no fishing expedition when he's already been caught lying. This is a fully justified investigation.
Even the White House knows he's dirty and he's going down.

You're absolutely right. Those 8 are gone. No crime.
Next.
I'm not defending him. I have no idea if he's lied or not. I don't even care, at this point.
I do care that this fishing expedition is looking to add to the Scooter file. "If we ask enough
questions, sooner or later, they'll trip themselves up."
