The problem for the WH and DOJ is that their stories keep changing and they have no evidence to back up their claims that the attorneys "did not sufficiently support Bush's priorities".
First, the claim was that Carol Lam, the US attorney in Cali was not aggressive enough in investigating and prosecuting immigration violation cases. Then it turns out the Assistant Attorney General's Office had praised her work on immigration cases as recently as August.
So then, last week, Bush says, "We did hear complaints and concerns about U.S. attorneys. Some complained about the lack of vigorous prosecution of election fraud cases.”
And in testimony this weeK by the FBI director:
Have you ever heard from your agents (who would be involved by the nature of the FBI's role in such investigations) about any election fraud case where there were no indictments when they thought that there should have been?
MUELLER: I have not.
They just keep tripping over their own lies and misrepresentations...which seems to becoming common occurences with this White House now that there is a Congress actually meeting its oversight responsibilities.
