1) Clinton fired almost all the attorneys at the beginning of his term – that’s true and not controversial. So did George W Bush at the beginning of his term. This is issue is about firing attorneys who had good performence reviews but were either prosecuting Republican corruption cases or not prosecuting Democrat corruption cases fast enough.

2) Inglesias is’t a Democrat – he was appointed by George W. Bush.

3) Yes – Pete and Heather wondered whether Igelsias was going to bring corruption cases against Democrats before elections. They call him to ask him about and seemed to have pressured him. That’s unethical and illegal.

4) Iglesias didn’t make an excuse – he didn’t have to, he had prosecutorial discretion.

Yet the best defense is to attack as this issue is not going anywhere. According to Fox News after two months in office, Clinton fired some 90 from attorney general offices. Probably Pete and Heather wonder if Ingelias was ever going to bring any cases forward. His excuse, if any, is that so many cases of corruption here in New Mexico were on the docket, he did not know which to move forward with--certainly not those of fellow Democrats. So the pot calling kettle black really fits here. Losers from the last election are hard up for a story! Yet the best defense is to attack as this issue is not going anywhere.
