uhh yes, a few of the lawyers were investigating republican scandals. One of the scandals had to do with the senator from Arizona, Jon Kyl I believe, that involved a land swap and a few of his buddies making a quick buck. It is a big deal, if you haven't followed, because the firing of a US attorney for no reason and no indication of poor performance just reeks of foul play. Why do you think a few of the staff have resigned over this issue? they don't want to get involved in this matter, because they know what's up. Heck, Congress is trying to subpoena the DOJ staff and get them under oath, but they won't even do that! If there is no foul play, why refuse a subpoena? Did you hear what one of the DOJ staff lady said today (forgot her name)? She said that she pleads the 5th for not going before Congress! She doesn't want to incriminate herself? why? is it because that she possibly did something she shouldn't have? and that she doesn't want to get in trouble?

Firing ALL federal prosecutors (like clinton did) is one thing; firing only a select few is another. This is a big deal because the president is overtly abusing his executive powers; he is destroying a system of checks and balances that has been in place for centuries. He is undermining his own government by not putting the DOJ staff under oath. If there is no foul play, why not go under oath? Go under oath, stop the bleeding, and case closed.
