US Attorneys serve at the pleasure of the president. If Mitt wins, he can fire all the US Attorneys and replace them with his own appointees.

If memory serves, GW Bush allowed most/all Clinton-appointed US attorneys to stay. He probably should have cleaned house. This may have cost him in certain cases such as the housing/loan/investment melt-down among others. I fear Mitt will keep Barry's people in place in a similar manner. If I were to bet, I would think Mitt will NOT replace Barry's appointees.

Yeah, since Clinton replaced every single US attorney in the country.

Ad then the Left had the absolute gall to scream when Bush wanted to replace ANY of them - and Bush backed down!

Bah.

"I fear Mitt will keep Barry's people in place in a similar manner."

I don't think so -- the essence of Mitten's campaign is, the other guy is an amateur who has appointed amateurs, so let's put an adult back in the office. You got to clean house from there.
