Emails Detail White House Plan to Oust US Attorneys
The Senate and House Judiciary Committees are looking into charges that the firings of US attorneys by the Bush administration were done for political reasons rather than for performance. 150 pages of emails and other documents turned over Tuesday by the White House reveal that just weeks after Bush was inaugurated for a second term in January 2005, his administration and the Department of Justice settled on a plan to "push out" some of the nation's 93 US attorneys.

US Attorney Removal Halted Abramoff Investigation
Former prosecutor, Frederick A. Black, has received little attention. The administration fired Black shortly after he began investigating Jack Abramoff's dealings in Guam. Lawmakers say, "It is necessary now to re-examine the case as it may represent the beginning of a pattern of behavior by some members of Congress and officials in the Bush administration to politicize the work of US attorneys and to quash their independence.
