Fired Prosecutors Told Job Performance Was Not A Factor In Dismissal

Fired Prosecutors Told Job Performance Was Not A Factor In Dismissal

Other prosecutors may have been vulnerable because they had had run-ins with Washington, not over corruption cases against Republicans, but on less visible issues.

Paul Charlton in Arizona, for example, annoyed F.B.I. officials by pushing for confessions to be tape recorded, while John McKay in Seattle had championed a computerized law enforcement information-sharing system that Justice Department officials did not want. Carol C. Lam of San Diego, who successfully prosecuted former Representative Randy Cunningham, had drawn complaints that she was not sufficiently aggressive on immigration cases.
