Even if the mass firingsthe purge of U.S. attorneyshad been done to punish policy differences with the Department of Justice. the firings would still defeat that healthy check and balance. Bear in mind that nothing has been shown that suggests the exercise of graduated discipline one would expect in any kind of a wellmanaged setting. For instance. Carol Lam was ostensibly fired for not prosecuting enough lowlevel immigration cases. But when she was here testifying before us. she testified she was not told that when she was fired. nor. evidently. was she ever told beforehand this issue was a serious problem for her or that it might cost her job. Even enemy ships usually get a warning shot.
