DC, I understand that it is Congress' responsibility to oversee, but Host continues to post as if Carol Lams firing was something illegal, and it was not,
she was not prosecuting they way her EMPLOYERS want her to.
Mike...you can understand why it raises questions when Gonzales (and the WH) said Lam was fired for not being tough enough on immigration...when 8 months earlier, she received a letter of commendation from the US Customs and Border Protection:

It was like saying David Ignatius was fired because of his frequent absences from the office...when those absences were due to his commitments as an officer in the Navy Reserve.

If Bush had simply said, they are fired because I say so...there would have a short-lived firestorm. Its the lies, the conflicting stories, the faulty memories, etc and further examples of political influence in the judicial process by the WH that keep this alive.

And Sen. Schumer is a jack ass
I think Orin Hatch is a jackass...but that has nothing to do with the need for oversight hearings on this DoJ fiasco.
