What you didnt note, between 1981 and 2006, of the more than 400 US Attorneys who served under both Dem and Repub Presidents, only 10 left office involuntarily for reasons other than a change in administration . In one swoop, Bush nearly matched that number.

If you want to cite recent history, please also note that Clinton allowed more than 30 of his top aides to testify at Repub initiated Congressional hearings (some on as such frivolous issues as the White House christmas card list) on 47 different occasions....putting to rest the bullshit coming out of the current White House:

White House Press Secretary Tony Snow: "It has been traditional in all White Houses not to have staffers testify on Capitol Hill."

White House Counselor Dan Bartlett: "I find it highly unlikely that a member of the White House staff would testify publicly"

Wouldnt you say that is relevant to current events as well?
