John McKay talks about the 2006 dismissal of nine U.S. Attorneys, of which he was one, and the new lawsuit between Congress and the White House over the release of information related to the firings.
This week the House of Representatives sued the White House for failing to provide information related to the controversial firings of nine U.S. Attorneys in 2006. There’s evidence suggesting the nine prosecutors may have been dismissed for political reasons. One of the fired US Attorneys was John McKay, who worked in Washington State’s Western District. He recently published a legal paper with his firsthand take on the firings called, “Train Wreck at the Justice Department: An Eyewitness Account.” John McKay speaks with Faith Salie on Fair Game.
