NPR: Plan to Fire All 93 USAt.s was Rove's

The report says that it was Rove's plan to fire all 93 "as a way to get political cover for firing the small number of U.S. attorneys the White House actually wanted to get rid of."


NPR now has new information about that plan. According to someone who's had conversations with White House officials, the plan to fire all 93 U.S. attorneys originated with political adviser Karl Rove. It was seen as a way to get political cover for firing the small number of U.S. attorneys the White House actually wanted to get rid of. Documents show the plan was eventually dismissed as impractical.

Note that it doesn't say that it was Rove's plan to fire the "small number" of U.S. attorneys, but it was his to plan to "provide cover" for the plan. So it still leaves him a tiny out on that. But still. It shows him in the inner workings of the plan. And - it's a pretty nefarious plan, no matter what way you look at it.

Now we just ot get the - our - emails about it.
