blows the whistle on the Bush administration for trying to wrongfully influence her on the huge Tobacco case she has been working on to reduce the award of the verdict, etc

Absolutely mindboggling!

And you think that Big Business doesn't have the Bush administration in their pocket?

I saw someone made a comment about the Prosecutor not doing her job with regards to illegal immigration. She went after the "big" fish in the illegal immigration problem. So her stats dropped.
I would rather she bring down and destroy the big organizations that go after the little fish which would not make a difference
Most people caught crossing the border illegally are deported; only those with long criminal records or who place people in danger are prosecuted in federal court.

"Instead of going after coyotes, the guides who bring illegal crossers into the United States, her office targeted the leaders of smuggling organizations. It also prosecuted corrupt Border Patrol agents and border inspectors.
The result was predictable. Statistics show that prosecutions fell during Lam's tenure."
She was also instrumental in bringing down Randy " Duke" Cunningham and was going after a corrupt CIA official, Kyle "Dusty" Foggo. She submitted her request to the Justice Dept May 10,2006 for search warrants and the following day, the email went out asking for her to be fired.

"The next day, May 11, D. Kyle Sampson, then chief of staff to Attorney General Alberto R. Gonzales, sent an e-mail
message to William Kelley in the White House counsel's office saying that Lam should be removed as quickly as possible, according to documents turned over to Congress last week."

In addition, 2 of the others, david Iglesias and David Bogden had been investigating alleged corruption from Republican politicians

1 of the Prosecutors was fired for not going after illegal immigrants who were caught and released up to 6 times.

Another Prosecutor was not going after drug smugglers unless they were carrying more than 500 lbs of pot.

Another one was was acutally being petitioned by the democrats to be removed for not performing their job in a qualified manner.

Just ask the two border agents that are in prison for actually doing their jobs for once.
