Top 10 Questions for Sampson at Judiciary Hearing

1. Sampson wrote in an E-mail to the White House last January that he would like to replace 15 to 20 percent of "underperforming" U.S. attorneys but that the "vast majority ... are doing a great job, are loyal Bushies, etc., etc." What were Sampson's criteria for "loyal Bushies"?

2. In early 2005, Sampson asked then Deputy Attorney General James Comey, who managed the U.S. attorneys, for his short list of weak prosecutors. Why did Sampson's final list of those axed look so vastly different from Comey's recommendations?

3. Why was the U.S. attorney from Chicago, Patrick Fitzgerald–who prosecuted Vice President Dick Cheney's former chief of staff Lewis "Scooter" Libby for the outing of CIA operative Valerie Plame–included in the list of prosecutors who had "not distinguished themselves," and was serious consideration given to firing him?

7. What was Bush's political adviser Karl Rove's role in the firings?

8. In referring to U.S. Attorney Carol Lam from San Diego–who was involved in a massive corruption investigation targeting Republican congressmen and fundraisers as well as CIA top official Kyle "Dusty" Foggo–what did Sampson mean when he wrote in an E-mail last May to the White House that "the real problem we have right now is with Carol Lam"?
