You're right, it's not illegal to fire them for political reasons. I was mistaken about that, thanks for correcting me.Like, no.
Absolutely! If I believed there was nothing here to investigate, I'd be right on board with you. I would agree that this is a witch hunt, political grandstanding, and a waste of taxpayer money. But, and I posted this already, here are the reasons why I think there is something here to investigate:Don't you think there should be something to investigate before the investigation is started? It would suck if the cops started investigating you for child rape, wouldn't it?
1. Some of the attorneys strongly believe that they were fired only because they refused to dig up criminal dirt on Democrats where none existed.
2. Some of the attorneys strongly believe that they were fired only because they refused to call off criminal investigations on Republicans.
3. The administration gave conflicting reasons why they were fired.
Number 2 in particular could be obstruction of justice.
Sure they might be disgruntled. They might also be working on book deals. Or, heaven forbid, they might actually be 100% correct. But the simple fact they got fired in no way invalidates any of their claims. If we threw out every case of wrongful termination simply because the person might just be disgruntled, well, that would be pretty stupid wouldn't it?
Serving at the pleasure of the president is not a blank check to obstruct justice and use the Justice Department as a political weapon. Again, they should be innocent until proven guilty, but surely you can see that there is reasonable grounds for an investigation?
