When we said we'd treat you like family, we meant the Sopranos

Prosecutors dumped by the Bush Administration told their new pals in the Democratic Congress that they felt "leaned on" to get indictments against...wait for it...Democrats.

The Bushies then tried to impose the Republican version of omerta on the ex-prosecutors and told not to get chatty with the media about their firings.
Arkansas' Bud Cummins wrote other fired prosecutors in an e-mail last month of a "message" conveyed by a Justice Department official that if they continued to talk with news reporters, the agency "would feel forced to somehow pull their gloves off" and fight back.
Republicans were not happy to find out politically damaging indictments would not hit their Democratic brethren before the 2006 elections. Hey attorneys, if you wake up and feel a sticky spot next to you in the bed, chances are you're going to save a lot on horse-related expenses.
