Paul: On November 3, Michael Elston conveyed professional shocking news. I had previously consulted him about the feasibility of a brief leave of absence to serve as the interim dean of the Michigan State University College of Law. (Note: MSU is interested in me only if I am the USA for WOMI.) Mr. Elston informed me that such a leave is only an option when the alternate service is within the federal government. He further informed me that I should expect contact from the White House requesting my resignation as USA shortly after the November 7 elections.

He could offer no explanation other than that I erroneously assumed that good service guaranteed longevity because other USAs have been asked for their resignation without cause. In my case the service has exemplary in a difficult district in addition to being an active contributor since appointment on 3 of the A.G.’s subcommittees. While I live in hope that this dire prediction is untrue, I am contacting you because I need assistance to remain in federal service with a comparable compensation or, quite frankly, I will lose everything that I have been working toward for the past five years. My chronology will not allow me to recoup from such an unanticipated financial catastrophe.

I trust that I can count on you to intervene or provide an alternative. Margaret

These were peoples lives, their careers, their livelihoods and they were thrown under the bus for a greedy power grab. Republicans should be pissed off and scared because it has become far to evident that the only thing this administration cares about is their own political and financial gain.

1. I don't get worked up over that and neither should you

Because the minute Edwards or Clinton or Obama gets into power, most if not all current United States Attorneys are going to be out on their collective asses. That's the nature of the Job.

I'm more concerned about the impropriety of this situation.

2. But that's to be expected when a new admin comes in.

They will have time to plan and get something else lined up. The eight were let go unexpectedly with little or no time to plan.

3. I think thrown under the bus because they didn't pass the loyalty

peformance test. Not job performance. Loyalty translates to power - for them. It seems to be all about the performance from loyalty to do the work to bring the NAC admin more power. A combination.

I believe they have been constantly, consistently preparing the citizens of this country for submitting to martial law passively and they just needed the right people to do it. While they would want us to be submissive, they would stay hard handed (along with their contract thugs and perfectly groomed US Attys).

Their momentum and direction has been obvious.

This Atty was in MI? Very important area for control of the people, especially when there is no heat in January and some flooding starts or they need more sacrifices from the people to pay contractors and invade another country.

We are dealing with raw meat makers who pretend well at times, poorly at others. Some of it due to overboard arrogance, delusion of their own making, and utter contempt for our Constitution.
