please, assorted acolytes: explain to me again how Bill Clinton rose to

At least, with a Congress from the opposition party, we will see some
oversight(in overdrive, I would imagine).
And, we will see people testifying in public, under oath.
This one could prove very interesting........

So all those US Attorneys serve at the pleasure of the president. They
can be hired or fired any time. One at a time or all at once.

You ask about Clinton? He did the same thing within the first year and
a half of his first term.

Were any of them fired because they refused to do political dirty work
for Clinton. He replaced them at the beginning of his term, as was his
right. The ones being fired now seem to have resisted White House
pressure to use their offices for the political benefit of the GOP.
One is patronage, like it or not. The other is using the power of the
State to punish your political opponents. No one is questioning GW's
right to fire them, they are questioning his motivation.
