Yes, this is a totally non issue. That's why Bush's Attorney General (Mukasey) appointed a special prosecutor to address whether there is any criminal wrongdoing. Nope, nothing here, so let's waste the taxpayer's money and conduct an investigation on nothing.

Nothing here? That's not what the times article said:
An internal Justice Department investigation concluded Monday that political pressure drove the firings of several federal prosecutors in a 2006 purge, but said that the refusal of major players at the White House and the department to cooperate in the year-long inquiry produced significant “gaps” in its understanding of the events.
The white house had refused to cooperate in the investigation
More troubling, the investigation concluded that, despite the denials of the administration at the time of the controversy, political considerations played a part in the firings of at least four of the nine prosecutors
So Gonzales and company lied when they made up alternative excuses.
