From McClatchy this morning:
In an interview Wednesday, [former U.S. Attorney for Little Rock, Arkansas Bud] Cummins questioned whether the Justice Department seriously evaluated any of the other U.S. attorneys who they insisted were removed for performance reasons.
“If they had serious questions, where are the memos proving there was a real performance review?” he asked. “They released all of these embarrassing memos, don’t you think they would have released the paper trail?”
Cummins also said that e-mails released by the White House earlier this week demonstrated that performance wasn’t the issue. “It’s clear that, in at least some instances, politics played a significant part,” he said.
