Shades of Bill Clinton when he took office.
Telling that the Dallas Morning News buries this on WFAA's website under 'Regional Roundup':

D'Amore said he was surprised by his termination because Watkins had told him his job was safe. If true, nice new DA they've got there...

Exactly what the Bush administration should have done within their first three months in office; throw out the enemy within.
The country has paid ever since for the failure to do so.

A RAT defense lawyer as DA? Watch out for a huge increase in prosecutions of "hate crimes".

2004 statistics
Overall Dallas Crime Index 104,384 crimes per 100,000 people!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
that tells me that there are a lot of repeat offenders getting out on bail and being helped by public defenders/defense attys. like the new DA.

Well, is this "civil service" or political service? How do you fire the staff without "cause"?
My guess, and it's only a guess, is that "diversity" might be a second consideration here.....

Why would he fire "top" prosecutors?

This is the kind of thing that 'Rats do whenever they win and the kind of thing that Republicans can't seem to figure out. If Bush had done this at State, CIA and Justice he'd have cleaned out a ton of Clinton cronies and saved himself alot of trouble down the line. The CIA and State Dept has been running a virtual opposition government to Bush's policies since 9-12-01.

As long as the replacements are better than the ones terminated and he is a 'law & order' DA ... no problem.

Yup. Personally I think it was his single dumbest move.
But now that I said that, I include the caveat that it the opinion is based only on the knowledge I have at hand. I do not know what he knows that I do not.
