ORIGINAL: servantforuse Could someone explain something to me. Why was it ok for Bill Clinton to fire all 93 A G's when he took office, but it is wrong for George Bush to fire 8 of 93 As we're learning from the Paperwork, George Bush didn't Fire the 8 USAs. And that may be yet another problem. If the USAs serve at his pleasure, then only he can ask them to go, and it looks like he didn't even delegate the responsibility, he DID NOT KNOW ABOUT IT AT ALL ( according to Tony Snow )... That aside. It's not asking the USAs to go. It's LYING about their performance records, in some lame attempt to spin ASKING them to go. *IF* Bush *had* ONLY asked them to go, and not chose to lie about them not being up to performance expectations, this wouldn't be an issue. quote:
A G's six years into his term ? He felt they weren't doing the job and they were let go. They do serve this administration, or did.. This has happened since George Washington was President...It is not illegal and it certainly is not a scandal. However, as John Ashcroft pointed out on numerous occasions, the USA's oath is NOT to the President, it is to the Constitution. We have, from what I gather, TWO cases where USAs investigating crimes allegedly committed by "Loyal Bushies" ( Friends Of Jack Abrhamoff in one, and Alberto Gonzales in the other ) were obstructed along the way. Obstruction of Justice is a crime. Lying is a crime. ( under 18 USC 1001, 18 USC 371, et. al. ) I don't see where the Constitution delegates to anyone the authority to LIE.
