CBS:Fired prosecutor applied to be a federal judge, rejected because didn't investigate WA elections

http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2007/03/14/eveningnews/main2571355.shtml

Former U.S. Attorney: Why I Was Fired
Exclusive: John McKay Says White House Didn't Like His Handling Of Disputed Election
<snip>

CBS News obtained McKay's most recent performance review, conducted just three months before his firing. In it, he was described as "effective, well-regarded and a capable leader."

McKay feels "really proud of the work that was done in my office and the excellent run I had in five years."

Justice officials say they had a problem with the way McKay shared information with local and federal law enforcement officials. But McKay believes it was what he didn't do that got him fired.

A Democratic candidate won Washington state's 2004 gubernatorial race by just a couple of hundred votes. McKay didn't call a grand jury to investigate questions of voter fraud, and he heard about it when he sought a promotion.

"I did apply to be a federal judge last fall, and at that time questions were directed to me about the 2004 governor's election in Washington state," he says.

1. LOL! The first comment:
While you libs are focusing on this scandal, Clinton is probably getting away with some crime. But I'm sure that's what you want. You libs make me laugh.

And what about gay marriage? That's destroying this country. But all you want to do is look at this scandal. God will judge you.

The gay marriage that is still illegal in almost every state is destroying the country more than the politicizing of the Department of Justice. Yeah, OK. :eyes:
