Another Angle On The DOJ US Attorney Scandal

Tom was shot a half-dozen times in the neck and head with hollow-point bullets (aka "cop killers”")
People get shot every day. Why is this significant? Well, the victim was Tom Wales, an assistant DA in Seattle, whose assassination investigation was being handled by John McKay - one of the eight fired US Attorneys. Still not enough? Let's try The Washington Post:
A U.S. attorney in Seattle was singled out for dismissal in part because he clashed with senior Justice Department officials over the investigation of a federal prosecutor's murder, and he was recommended for removal 18 months earlier than was previously known, according to newly disclosed documents and interviews.
Sure, but if it's just a clash, how do we know the DOJ wasn't in the right to get McKay off the case?
Several officials familiar with the investigation said McKay and other officials in Seattle believed that senior Justice officials were not paying enough attention to the case.... "The idea that I was pushing too hard to investigate the assassination of a federal prosecutor -- it's mind-numbing" that they would suggest that, McKay said. " . . . If it's true, it's just immoral, and if it's false, then the idea that they would use the death of Tom Wales to cover up what they did is just unconscionable."
Absolutely despicable.
