TPM Reader BS isn't buying it ...

If I read Darrel Issa’s press release correctly, Carole Lam gets fired because she’s not prosecuting enough border crime, even though she’s prosecuting a major Congressional and DoD corruption case; Dave Iglesias gets fired because he’s prosecuting too much border crime, and not enough local corruption. So where’s the happy median for the Bush Administration? If Lam filed as many border crime cases as Iglesias, and Iglesias as many corruption cases? Even their cover stories have holes the size of the Pentagon in them…

TPM Reader DS sees the same problem ...

Do I have this straight? Iglesias failed at his job because he devoted too many resources to border crimes and not enough to public corruption. Lam failed at her job because she devoted too many resources to public corruption cases and not enough to border crimes.

The attorneys who didn't get fired must have threaded a pretty tight needle.
