Two Additional Prosecutors Were Considered for Ouster

Is it treason, yet?

Seems to me that a conspiracy to steal elections in a Democracy is nothing short of treason.

Two Additional Prosecutors Were Considered for Ouster:

Washington - The Justice Department last year considered firing two U.S. attorneys in Florida and Colorado, states where allegations of voter fraud and counter-charges of voter intimidation have flown in recent years, congressional investigators have learned.

That brings to nine the number of battleground election states where the Bush administration set out to replace some of the nation's top prosecutors. In at least seven states, it now appears, U.S. attorneys were fired or considered for firing as Republicans in those states urged investigations or prosecutions of alleged Democratic voter fraud.

The two prosecutors who were targeted were Gregory Miller, the U.S. attorney for the northern district of Florida in Tallahassee, and Bill Leone, the former acting U.S. attorney for Colorado.

Miller appeared on multiple target lists for possible firing from early 2005 through last November, according to a senior congressional aide familiar with Justice Department documents.

Miller kept his job.

The congressional aide spoke to McClatchy Newspapers on condition of anonymity because the documents haven't been made public. The Justice Department is allowing congressional investigators only to inspect the documents, not make photocopies or take notes.
