Spin continues on US attorney firing

In a response to Eric Mink’s column regarding the firing of US attorneys Ron Jones’ letter said “President George W. Bush fired U.S. attorneys because they serve at the president’s pleasure; there is nothing illegal or unconstitutional about it.” That’s nice spin but the real issue is whether or not these attorneys were fired because they wouldn’t go after political opponents of the President. Mr. Jones seems to think the President has a duty to abuse power.Matt WinschelFlorissant

I would imagine that they were fired because they were found to be closet liberals.

Eric Mink may not have called Clinton out when he did wrong but I certainly did. If any President abuses power it bothers me. Despite being moderate I’m libertarian in my view of use of power.

What you accused me of, a week or so ago, tells me you are not libertarian, in any way shape or form, but a far left hater, of what this country was founded on.

I totally agree, that abuse of power, by the fed, state or local government, should not be tolerated. I do not call firing attorneys, that serve at the Presidents pleasure, abuse of power, at day one of his term or the last day of his term.
