Paper: Fired US Attorney was 'Bush loyalist'

RAW STORYPublished: Thursday March 22, 2007

According to the LA Times, one of the eight fired US attorneys is considered a "Bush loyalist."
"The 'company man' hired and fired by the Bush administration as U.S. attorney in San Francisco was a loyal Republican the administration wanted to keep on — until it appeared he could become a public relations liability," Maura Dolan writes for the LA Times.

The reference to "company man" comes from one of the more than 3,000 emails recently released by the Justice Department.

Michael Elston, a staff chief for a deputy attorney general, wrote D. Kyle Sampson, the former chief of staff for Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, to tell him that U.S. Attorney Kevin RyanRyan was not cooperating with Senator Diane Feinstein's (D-CA) attempts to contact him regarding Carol Lam, another ousted attorney. >>>cont
