No "Bushie" Lawyers Available

There are so few "Loyal" lawyers that the White House has not only fired 8 US Prosecuters, but has given six other prosecutors secondary executive positions that have taken them away from their supposed primary role as federal Prosecutors. This has prompted complaints from the Federal Judiciary and other prosecutors. The Washinton Post reports that "Acting Associate Attorney General William W. Mercer, for example, has been effectively absent from his job as U.S. attorney in Montana for nearly two years -- prompting the chief federal judge in Billings to demand his removal and call Mercer's office 'a mess.'" What is truly ridiculous about this is that the chief complaint by the Justice Department about one of the fired prosecutors, David C. Iglesias, was that he was an "absentee landlord" who was away from his job too much. His reason for being away was because of his military service as a Naval Reserve Officer. The hypocrisy within this administration is patently ridiculous.
