We all knew this wasn't true as soon as Rove said it
Karl Rove decided to mislead people about the political purge of U.S. attorneys:
Look, by law and by Constitution (sic), these attorneys serve at the pleasure of the president and traditionally are given a four year term. And Clinton, when he came in, replaced all 93 U.S. attorneys. When we came in, we ultimately replace most all 93 U.S. attorneys – there are some still left from the Clinton era in place. We have appointed a total of I think 128 U.S. attorneys -- that is to say the original 93, plus replaced some, some have served 4 years, some served less, most have served more. Clinton did 123. I mean, this is normal and ordinary.
Clearly, not a lie. Clearly, intended to mislead. Regular readers already know how unprecedented the firings are.
