Ex-US Attorney Questions Own Firing
"A former West Virginia federal prosecutor said Friday the White House fired him in 2005 in the middle of a corruption and vote-buying investigation but never told him why. Karl K. 'Kasey' Warner said he has 'concerns' and sees parallels between himself and eight other ousted U.S. attorneys. Congress and an internal Justice Department agency are investigating whether those firings were politically motivated. The Justice Department rejected any suggestion of politics in Warner's dismissal." (Associated Press)

Almost immediately Warner made public corruption and vote-buying cases a priority, sometimes to the ire of Democrats who accused him of targeting them for political purposes.

"We encourage Mr. Warner to provide the department with a written privacy waiver and we will be happy to provide you with the reason for his removal."

It's interesting that Warner is making allegations knowing it is impossible to respond to him without his signature on a privacy waiver. It's kind of slippery of him.

Odds are good that the next president will be a Democrat.

How long will this new guy keep all of the Aturnys ppointed by President Bush?
