Bush did try. I honestly don’t know the outcome of this though:

Attorney firings had genesis in White House (serving at the pleasure of the President)
The White House suggested two years ago that the Justice Department fire all 93 U.S. attorneys, a proposal that eventually resulted in the dismissals of eight prosecutors last year, according to e-mails and internal documents that the administration will provide to Congress today.
The dismissals took place after President Bush told Attorney General Alberto R. Gonzales that he had received complaints that some prosecutors had not energetically pursued voter-fraud investigations, according to White House spokeswoman Dana Perino.
Gonzales approved the idea of firing a smaller group of U.S. attorneys shortly after taking office in February 2005. The Gonzales aide in charge of the dismissals — his chief of staff, D. Kyle Sampson — resigned yesterday, officials said, after acknowledging that he did not tell Justice officials about the extent of his communications with the White House, leading them to provide incomplete information to Congress.

Too little and too late. All part of that “...new tone...”
BS! The refusal of the outgoing admin. to work with the transition team and their trashing of the White House shouldda given him a clue it wasn’t gonna work. This was BEFORE 9/11, so that excuse doesn’t fly. Bush had the WH, Ashcroft had the DoJ and the Reps. had Congress but nobody did anything.
For the last seven and one half years the Bush DoJ has allowed the ongoiing, interstate, criminal enterprise known as ACORN to flourish.....WHY???
