His job is NOT to be Bush's political hatchman, which is the description above.

The President has the responsibility to enforce laws. US Attorneys' are the "hatchetmen" of the President. Given limited resources the President sets the priorities.
Fitgerald wasted millions on the Plame investigation and the Libby trial. He would not get my vote for most effective US Attorney.
