Iglesias: My Firing Was A ‘Political Hit’

Today on Fox News Sunday, former U.S. attorney David Iglesias beat back several misleading claims by Bush administration officials, and reasserted that his firing was a “political hit,” not done for performance reasons.

He pointed out that Attorney General Alberto Gonzales agreed to write him a recommendation even after he was fired. “If was performance based, there is no way they would have agreed to have allowed me to list them as a reference,” he said. “In fact, they agreed, telling me that the true nature was political, not performance.”

1. My fantasy:
Inglesias announces he is switching parties and running for U.S. Senate.

2. This is just the kind
of thing that turns a prosecutor into a defense attorney.

3. Finest Kind
And former prosecutors turned defense attorneys make the most devastating defense attorneys, since they are very savvy as to how prosecutions operate, and can make absolute nitwits of prosecution witnesses and police officers . . .
