Domenici Sought Iglesias Ouster Former U.S. Attorney David Iglesias was fired after Sen. Pete Domenici, who had been unhappy with Iglesias for some time, made a personal appeal to the White House, the Journal has learned.

E-mails contradict testimony in U.S. attorneys scandal A U.S. attorney in Wisconsin who prosecuted a state Democratic official on corruption charges during last year’s heated governor’s race was once targeted for firing by the Department of Justice, but given a reprieve for reasons that remain unclear.

Talking Points materialize almost instantaneously and are spread far and wide. The coordination of responses to crises great and small is rapid and has been maddeningly effective. So, how […]
