Karl Rove behind four U.S. attorney firings

Ironically, the Bush Administration, which may have entered the White House in the first place because of Republican-led voter fraud in Florida, wanted to fire five U.S. Attorneys for not launching an investigation during the 2006 campaign season into allegations of Democratic voter fraud. 

The Washington Post has obtained documents that show Karl Rove may have played an instrumental role in the firing of four of the attorneys:

Of the 12 U.S. attorneys known to have been dismissed or considered forremoval last year, five were identified by Rove or other administrationofficials as working in districts that were trouble spots for voterfraud -- Kansas City, Mo; Milwaukee; New Mexico; Nevada; and Washington state. Four of the five  prosecutors in those districts were dismissed.

All of these prosecutors were appointed by Republicans.

According to the AP, yet another Republican-appointed U.S. Attorney may have been fired for not finding evidence of Democratic voting fraud.  The former U.S. Attorney, Karl "Kasey" Warner of West Virginia, admitted last week that he was given the boot for that reason.  No word on whether Rove was behind this one as well.

Gonzales is definitely not off the hook!  While they are at it, how about throwing a subpoena at Karl Rove?
