Remember that one of Clinton's first acts as President - - completely unprecedented - - was to fire EVERY lawyer in the justice department and then stock the place with loyal political hacks.

Just to keep it accurate: Slick ordered Janet Reno to fire all 93 US attorneys. Pretty bad, but I think there are more than 93 attorneys in the Justice Department.

I worked with Janet Reno — also worked on her first case with her: "The Knights of the Round Table Case", a City of Coral Gables Police, police-shooting homicide case. That occurred some time in the '70's, and was the first case I could recall where the State went after the cops!

When she went to Washington, she stole-away with several 11th Judicial Circuit Assistant State Attorneys including a friend of mine. (Unfortunately, my portly male friend got caught up in "The Suits" scandal -- discounted business suits for Janet's buddies).

Then there was "Operation Court Broom". Ah, sweet reminiscing and oh, what a lovely time in Miami's Spanish-speaking courts 1972-2002!
