Unfortunately, while one party holds the other party accountable, both parties are making deals behind closed doors and neither are accountable except when the other party decides that by holding the other accountable they can deflect accountability from themselves and their back room deals. In Washington, no one wants to be accountable so they turn accountability into a Paris Hilton extravaganza.
with hats and party horns-lol
What is it with this issue for so many people? The constitution directs authority to the President to hire and fire Federal Attorneys. It is by nature a political act because as a President is elected by the people to do the things he campaigned on and for which they elected him, he appoints and keeps in office people he believes will carry out his policy. He can fire them at any time for practically any reason. Of course people in the White House are involved. Why wouldn't they be? All presidents have done this but now some find it unacceptable at least until their person is in the White House. That is hypocritical. There are bigger issues for Congress to address than this nonsense.
Oh good grief you guys! Is everything a republican does a conspiracy to you? These people were fired for good reasons, and so to IMPROVE things. I'm sure you're all sitting around on your computers at work being all non-productive, needing to get fired yourself - and when you deservingly do, then I'm sure you'll just blame it on some people around the office poli-ticking against you
More stupidity. More political grandstanding and more wasted time.

'Accountability' it is about time. Reign in all these republican crooks (if you find some spare democrats put them in the mix), charge them, tri them and then impeach the ones who are left. After the amount of time the republicans has with no oversight, there is a lots of snakes to put in the bag!
