Feinstein and public corruption cases
Sen. Dianne Feinstein on "Fox News Sunday" on the eight fired U.S. Attorneys:
Six out of seven [sic] of them were involved in public corruption cases. This is in particular my interest. I think before you remove somebody in the middle of a public corruption situation, you ought to be very sure of what you're doing. And that you don't in any way chill the investigation or chill the trial if it's going on.
I could find no evidence that Feinstein ever commented on President Bill Clinton's firing of U.S. Attorney Jay B. Stephens in 1993 when he was within 30 days of making a "critical decision" in the public corruption case of Democrat Rep. Dan Rostenkowski. Maybe the "critical decision" was whether or not to indict, maybe it wasn't. But Clinton's firing of Stephens meant it was nearly a year and a half before Rostenkowski was indicted. He was ultimately convicted.
Also during the interview Feinstein conceded that despite all the thousands of documents that the Bush administration has released, thus far there is no evidence that anything illegal occurred.

Matt,
The bozo David Iglesias here in New Mexico had a scumbag corrupt Democrat named Manny Aragon dead to rights. And sat on it for years. USA Iglesias was a lazy, gutless bum and should have been fired long before. I am tired of his pitty-party.
