[Rhodes22-list] USAttorneygate; the chickens come home to roost

[Lowe, Rob]

Isn't it "traditional" (OK, not the right word) for all the US attorneys
to submit their resignations at the beginning of a president's new term?
Or is it just a new president taking office?  Regardless, why wouldn't
Fitzgerald submit his resignation along with the rest of the US
attorneys?

Ben,

How do you think Obama will handle Federal Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald

(also on the Bush "to be fired" list -- special prosecutor in the 
Valerie Plame CIA leak case) who is currently investigating Barack
Obama?

Do you think it is is OK for Obama to fire Fitzgerald?
