Compare this....
William E. Moschella, principal deputy attorney general, said that each of the dismissed prosecutors was a "talented lawyer." He said the firings could have been handled better too, but sharply denied anyone was pink-slipped out of retaliation or for base political motives.
With this...
"If a judgment is made that they are not executing their responsibilities in a manner that furthers the management and policy goals of departmental leadership, then it is appropriate that they be asked to resign so they can be replaced by other individuals who will."In other words, they weren't fired for their base political motives. They were fired because their base political motives were not aligned with those of departmental leadership.
So they weren't fired for what their base political motives were - they were fired for what their base political motives were not? Still, I don't think this exactly exonerates the justice department.
