U.S. attorney resignation number eight has come upon us this week as Margaret M. Chiara, 63, the first female U.S. attorney in the state of Michigan, has handed in her resignation effective March 16,2007. she did not specify as to why she was stepping down but we all know that this is more of George Bush changing people in an attempt to cover his ass with the criminal activities that this administration has taken part in.
Seven other U.S. attorneys have been forced to resign in recent months. Democrats have accused the Bush administration of forcing the resignations to make way for political allies.
Sen. Charles Schumer ( voting record), D-N.Y., said Chiara's resignation "could well be one of them. Now that this shoe has dropped, we'll be continuing to seek better explanations than those we've been given."
Deputy Attorney General Paul J. McNulty told senators earlier this month that one of the seven prosecutors was forced out to give his post to a former aide to presidential adviser Karl Rove. The others were fired for "performance-related" reasons, he said.
Federal prosecutors serve at the pleasure of the president, subject to Senate confirmation. U.S. attorneys can be fired for any reason.
The Justice Department didn't answer to whether she was forced from her post. to me, that pretty much says that she was indeed.
It's funny how all of these attorney's have spectacular records an most were appointed by Bush in the first place. Bush is definitely up to something with these firings.
