I have a new story up this morning looking at the U.S. attorneys mess on the eve of Kyle Sampson’s testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee. According to Democratic Sen. Charles Schumer, the case of fired U.S. attorney Carol Lam is the “most notorious” of the lot. The Bush administration fired Lam, Democrats allege, in order to stop her from investigating Republican corruption. Looking through the thousands of documents the Justice Department has released about the matter, it becomes clear that Department officials mis-handled Lam’s firing in a number of ways. But the one conclusion the evidence does not support is the idea that Lam was fired to stop any investigation. At this point at least, it’s just not there.
