Apparently, they don’t have much of it:
[Republican Representative Chris] Cannon said that there is “nothing wrong with firing a U.S. attorney for the reason of politics,” and Democrats have been unable to prove there was any corruption involved.
I have three words for Mr. Cannon: Obstruction. Of. Justice.
Firing a number of U.S. Attorneys for what appears to be one of two reasons, that they either were pursuing valid investigations against Republicans or were not pursuing invalid investigations against Democrats is slightly more serious than simply firing them “for the reason of politics.”
But then, should I expect more? Over the course of the past six years the Republican leadership has proven again and again what it thinks of the rule of law: not much.
