Like the travel office people? What was the scandal about then? There was a big deal made at the time.
Are you sure about that? I seem to remember in 1993, when Bill Clinton took office, him shocking Washington by firing all 93 United States attorneys at once, which was one of his first actions as President, which I believe was unprecedented at the time.
I specifically remember this because I was surprised at the strong political message that Bill Clinton sent to everyone working both in the Justice Department and the White House by firing all of these U.S. Attorneys at once--those who will not tow the Bill Clinton party line are completely expendable.
