Remember when Bush’s administration tried to fire a bunch of district attorneys for not going along with enough politically motivated prosecutions. A whole wagon full of fuck wits resigned after that, including Karl Rove and pretty much the entire leadership team at the Justice Department.
Nowadays it’s comparatively really difficult to find a scandal with that kind of body count. That’s why the Republicans are desperately trying to fling whatever they can at the wall, in the vain hope that something sticks.
