I thought this was just standard DOJ operating policy

REP. SCOTT: Other than Domenici's problems that he doesn't move cases, how could Mr. Iglesias' name get on the list of fired attorneys? What else could he have possibly done wrong to get him on the list?

MS. GOODLING: The other reasons that I heard discussed was that ... But I also heard somebody else express a concern that he delegated a lot to his first assistant. So there were different comments that people made at different times.

REP. CONYERS: The gentleman's time has expired.

Too bad his time expired. I was hoping he would ask: "Then why wasn't Alberto Gonzales on the list?"

Grasping at straws, trying to make it look like there was a non-political reason to dump him.
