John Edwards admits federal investigators are asking him questions. Federal subpoenas were issued Friday related to Mike Easley.
As the separate federal probes into a former senator and the former governor are emerging, Democrats are taking steps to replace the Republican prosecutor who is spearheading the inquiries about the highest-profile North Carolina Democrats of the past decade.
All the nearly 100 top federal prosecutors across the country serve at the will of the president. Any replacement for U.S. Attorney George E.B. Holding, a Bush appointee who has kept a priority on public corruption cases from Raleigh to the coast, will be subject to U.S. Senate confirmation.
They may serve at the will of Obama but apparently they didn't serve at the will of President Bush, because when he fired 8 of them the Democrats had kittens and started all kinds of investigations.
The GOP could really have some fun with this if they wanted to. There's nothing like hoisting hypocrites on their on petards.
