The Republican Party does not control the prosecutors. Bush did not do what Clinton did when he came in. Clinton fired every single US Attorney (top federal prosecutor in each federal judicial district), and picked his own.

Bush did not do that. Running the Justice Department does not permit you to decide who will be charged in every district in the land. I would imagine that if Ashcroft somehow tried to make sure that a crat was charged with a crime, that would become the scandal, at least in the eyes of the media.

and until the stupid Republican party starts playing hardball and stops this being nice and polite, we will get shafted again and again...

yes....the first thing the Toon did was to fire all US attorneys thereby stopping the investigation into Whitewater and the Rose law firm and the rest....

when will we ever learn?
