  1. #1    If the U.S. Attorney's Office accepted the recordings, the U.S. Attorney should be fired.

    This would be a LEGITIMATE use of the President's power to appoint U.S. Attorneys, rather than the bogus use by little karley rove when he was the "go-to" enforcer of the previous corrupt pResident's criminal enterprise.

  2. #2    "A statement from U.S. Attorney Mary Beth Buchanan said her office has never requested any communications between a defendant and attorney...." The statement further went on to say that pigs regularly fly in Allegheny County.

    It is time for Mary Beth Dirtbag to retire to chasing ambulances, or something else less harmful to Pittsburgh and rest of the country.
