Arkansas Senator happy to see top Rove aide end term as US Attorney

Not a terribly smart move by Thompson. Does he think this is just going to go away once Griffin steps down?

He should re-think that. After-all, we are talking about "Mr. Voter Caging."

The Raw Story | Arkansas Senator happy to see top Rove aide end term as US Attorney:

Reflecting on news that a controversial player in the firing of one US Attorney could soon join the Presidential campaign of Republican Fred Thompson, an Arkansas Senator said he was happy to see the interim US Attorney for the Eastern District of Arkansas depart from his current office.

'His departure from the US Attorney Office for the Eastern District of Arkansas is a positive development and the Senator is looking forward to having credible leadership restored there,' said Michael Teague, spokesman for Senator Mark Pryor (D-AR), of reports that interim US Attorney Tim Griffin had been approached to join Thompson's campaign.
