"Clinton fired 93 U. S. Attorneys"

Just a quick note because I feel that this should get wide distribution. If you should encounter the "Clinton fired 93 U. S. Attorneys" meme, and you will because the righties are desperate on the prosecutor firings, the counter too it is here:


WHITE HOUSE AND JUSTICE DEPARTMENT
BEGIN U.S. ATTORNEY TRANSITION

"WASHINGTON, D.C. - Continuing the practice of new administrations, President Bush and the Department of Justice have begun the transition process for most of the 93 United States Attorneys. Attorney General Ashcroft said, "We are committed to making this an orderly transition to ensure effective, professional law enforcement that reflects the President 's priorities.""

IOW, standard operating procedure for a new administration. If they are stooping this low (why am I not surprised?), things must really look bleak on the prosecutor firings.

Please get this circulated as far and wide as you can.
