DOJ To Release Long-Awaited Report On US Attorney Firings Monday

A long-awaited Justice Department report probing the firings of nine U.S. Attorneys in 2006 is expected to be released Monday morning, according to David Iglesias, the former New Mexico federal prosecutor who was one of those caught up in the purge.

Iglesias told The Public Record that he and the other U.S. Attorneys who were fired were contacted Friday by a Department of Justice official and told the report, which was written jointly by the agency’s Inspector General and Office of Professional Responsibility, the offices that conducted the investigation, will be posted on the Inspector General’s website Monday morning at around 10 AM EDT.

Iglesias said he was not given further information about the contents of the report, which will address how the Bush administration let politics influence prosecutorial judgments.

“The only thing they would say is that the report was "very long,” Iglesias told The Public Record.

While everyone is waiting you might like to review this archived DU thread that was started May 8, 2007.
It contains a lot of disturbing information that has yet to be explained.
