My biggest suspicions about the US Attorney Purge, as you know, center on the firing of former San Diego US Attorney Carol Lam, who led the investigation and prosecution of Rep. Randy “Duke” Cunningham (R-CA). Well, the guy who broke the Duke story, Copley news service’s Marcus Stern and the Copley team that kept on it until long after Duke was in the slammer — Jerry Kammer, Dean Calbreath, George E. Condon Jr — have written a book. It’s called The Wrong Stuff: The Extraordinary Saga of Randy “Duke” Cunningham, the Most Corrupt Congressman Ever Caught. It’s not out till May, I think. But I can’t wait to read it. Certainly going to be worth picking up a copy.
