Nice attempt at spin by the way, that at least was more original than "Cilnton did it"
But then, you need to add Clinton to your list too.
See thing is, at the start of a Presidents term EVERY president replaces ALL of the US Attorneys. All Prezzes, all attorneys. With me so far?
I'll wait.

OK, so to repeat ALL Presidents replace ALL US attorneys.
The only remarkable thing about Clinton is that he/Reno did it all at once. Usually there is a gradual change.
That's it.
I'll pause again just to make sure you got that.

Still following? Good.
Since Nixon, there have been precisely two US attorneys who have been replaced other than natural attrition. 2.
Thats the number slightly less than 3, a bit bigger than 1. 2.
One by Nixon, one by Carter. I think Carter's was involved in a Democrat investigation. But I wasn't in the country, was only about 13 and didnt have access to the Zone to register my complaint about his subversion of the Judicial process. I have no idea about Nixon's but the above conditions apply (except that I was only about 6 years old).
Still there?.

OK, do we need a recap?
Oh alright then, just for you.
All Presidents replace all their US Attorneys. Only 2 in the past 37 years have been removed.
.
.
.
Current situation:
This administration decided to can 8 US Attorneys.
NEVER BEEN DONE BEFORE.
1 is not common.
2 has never been done.
8 is about as unusual as either of you becoming a Green Party Presidential nominee tomorrow.
.

The story on why they got canned has changed with every new revelation.
Oh they got fired because of performance issues. Really? Why'd you give them good performance appraisals?
Umm, because they weren't prosecuting illegal immigration enough. Really? Because at least one you said there was too much focus on illegals and not enough focus on imaginary democrat corruption.
Oh err, performance? No we covered that earlier.
Oh nuts....well at least Rove definitely wasnt invloved. Really? Cuz you nomiated his former Chief of Staff for one of the newly vacant posts, and emails show he was invloved in a lot of these.
Who showed you that? You did.
Nuts...."Mistakes were made". Cant believe you used those words heheheheheheh.
Is there anything else I can help you gentlemen with?
