How can I prove that Bush replaced all 93 U.S. attorneys when he took office?

Question

I know this is true...but my republican relative believes that only Clinton did this.

Answer 1

Try transcripts of the Senate Judiciary Committee on the subject. You can find them here: http://judiciary.senate.gov/schedule_month.cfm?previous=4 to start.

All political appointees hand in their resignations at the start of a new presidential term. They are almost always all accepted when there is a change of party.

Answer 2

When a president takes office, he or she nominates federal prosecutors at the beginning of the first term. Under normal circumstances, these U.S. Attorneys serve until the next president is sworn in.

In 1993, Clinton replaced H.W. Bush’s prosecutors. In 2001, Bush replaced Clinton’s prosecutors. None of this is remotely unusual. Indeed, it’s how the process is designed.

The difference with the current scandal is overwhelming. Bush replaced eight specific prosecutors, apparently for purely political reasons. This is entirely unprecedented. For conservatives to argue, as many are now, that Clinton’s routine replacements for H.W. Bush’s USAs is any way similar is the height of intellectual dishonesty. They know better, but hope their audience is too uninformed to know the difference.

Answer 3

Only Clinton did that. Mr. Bush did not replace attorneys at the beginning of his term.

Answer 4

I don't think Bush did. Clinton did. The difference is that Clinton's team wanted a fresh start with new attorneys-- NOT because of specific politics or cases.

The bush dolts were up to their own shannanigans....and got caught, again.

Answer 5

It cannot be proved because it was Clinton who replaced all 93 US Attorneys when he took office.
PRESIDENT George W. Bush did not replace any
US Attorneys!!!!

Answer 8
