"New Documents Show Republican Involvement in U.S. Attorney Firings" WorldNow and KRNV Ch 4, Reno Nevada

Newly released documents are shedding light on the dismissal of U.S. Attorney for Nevada Daniel Bogden.

According to the documents, Bogden was told he was being dismissed because the Bush administration had a short window to get others into prosecutor jobs to bolster their resumes.

Bogden said Associate Attorney General William Mercer told him in December that the firings were being carried out so, in his words, "the Republican Party would have more future candidates for the federal bench and future political positions."
