Feinstein said that, on May 10, Lam "sent a notice to the Justice Department saying that there would be two search warrants sent in the case of 'Dusty' Foggo and a defense contractor. The next day, an e-mail went from the Justice Department to the White House."
That May 11 e-mail was from D. Kyle Sampson, chief of staff to Attorney General Alberto R. Gonzales, to White House Deputy Counsel William Kelley. "The real problem we have right now with Carol Lam ... leads me to conclude that we should have someone ready to be nominated on 11/18, the day her 4-year term expires," it read.
Sampson, who resigned last Monday, may also have been referring in that May 11 e-mail to a report that morning in the Los Angeles Times concerning a parallel investigation by federal prosecutors in Los Angeles into activities by Rep. Jerry Lewis, R-Calif., and a former GOP congressman, Bill Lowery of San Diego.
Dummies have the wrong US Atty:

the Dems are so praying for a Nixonian blunder here. Vietnam and Nixon's tearing down are their crowning achievements.
Well .. I happen to know the contractor who supposedly bribed Cunningham will go on trial about the 10th of April. I know that because I was asked to serve on that jury - but my job prevents me from being able to do it.
I have no idea if this was a continuation of Lamb's investigation or not.
The dems are just plucking at straws .. and their concerns are really a condition called "projection technique". According to a psychiatrist .. the projection technique is used to accuse your enemy of doing things that you have either ALREADY DONE - OR ARE IN THE PROCESS OF DOING.
The Clintons have already done this .. they fired their 93 AG's in order to hide the fact that 2 of them were the target - because those 2 AG's were investigating FOB's. Soooooo .. they assume the Bush's would do the same thing they were doing.
Believe me .. I lived with a person with this type of personality and I can tell you for a fact that it's devastating to be accused of doing things (you're not doing) when in truth the person who's accusing you is really doing those things.
THIS IS A STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURE FOR THE DEMS - they have just now confessed they fired their 93 AG's FOR PURE POLITICAL REASONS!! LOL!!
Oh .. and if anybody hasn't figured out what the mistake was .. IT WAS BECAUSE GONZALES SAID THAT THE FIRINGS WERE NOT DONE FOR POLITICAL REASONS .. WHEN IT'S WELL KNOWN THAT THESE ARE POLITICAL APPOINTMENTS.
Today's story (McClatchy) is that Lamm's firing interfered w/ the Foggo investigation (he was the CIA official charged w/ corruption related matters). It, too, is nonsensical:
The memo suggesting she should be replaced was written one year earlier, in March 2003. And the Foggo subpoena was served w/out a hitch in May 2006:
Foggo's Home and Langley Office Swept in Corruption Probe
By Dafna Linzer and Charles R. Babcock
Washington Post Staff Writers
Saturday, May 13, 2006; Page A01
Federal agents yesterday searched the CIA offices and Northern Virginia home of Kyle "Dusty" Foggo, the spy agency's No. 3 official who was forced to resign this week amid a widening criminal investigation into allegations of government corruption and bribery.
Officials inside CIA headquarters saw agents hauling away items from Foggo's seventh-floor suite, and neighbors outside his rented house in the Oakdale Park section of Vienna said officers, some wearing plastic gloves, placed materials in vans parked at the front and rear of the split-level brick home.

And Foggo was just indicted.
So (a) there seems no nexus between the decision to fire her and the Foggo subpoena and (b) there is no sign at all that firing her interfered at all w/ the case involving Foggo.
