Well, if this is why he was fired, it looks as if Gonzalez finally did something right.

McKay participated in the same old govt employee practice "pass the buck" instead of "the buck stops here" mentality.

In that case, it probably wasn't the reason.

"...Did our complaint play a part in McKay’s firing? It’s hard to say...." (But we hope so!)

;-)

Appointed in Oct. 2001 by President Bush.

Sounds like he lacked the testicles to go after the Democrat machine that controls most of Washington's politics.

If the reason really was that he lacked the courage to go after Democrat corruption, then good riddance to a yellow striped punk.

Hard to know what goes on behind the scenes. Perhaps they found out he was an evil crypto-democrat rather than a sniveling RINO. (A distinction without a difference?)

You mean Johnny Sutton and this clown were both appointed by Bush?

Huh, go figure. Must be coincidence.

There were several factors in this firing but I am pretty sure the overall performance of the office was the main reason.

They did not prosecute enough cases during his tenure.

Yep, we're not supposed to believe the cold hard facts. Bush is either so far up in his ivory tower and ignorant of what has been going on with Johnny Sutton and his framing prosecution of the border agents, or he's in on the con.

There isn't any gray area here, and I'm sick of the stalling on a pardon for both of these brave AMERICAN BORDER AGENTS.

There's a reason they're political appointees...

There's a greater political element to fed prosecution than most people would either believe or want to know. And it has very little to do with justice.

Amazing is it not?

If Republicans would stand up more for what is right, versus what is popular, we would all be better off.

Wow, I knew that someone would uncover the reason that McKay was fired and the reason that so many of the vile Democrats were complaining about it. Feinstein is making threats of changing the appointing process back to some obsolete rule that if Bush doesn't get a replacement approved in 122 days, the judiciary committee gets to make the appointment.

If Republicans could remember what Conservatism used to be about, we'd be better off.

Strike that. Conservatism hasn't changed, it was simple hijacked.

I think we both said the same thing, just phrased it differently!
