Last Night's Hardball with Chris Matthews debated the U.S. Attorney purge, and he had fired New Mexico U.S. Attorney David Iglesias (video; transcript will be here, when it is posted) explaining how he was shaken and stunned that a U.S. Senator would call him about whether charges would be filed against some Democratic office holders before last election day.  He was fired by AG Gonzalez less than six weeks later.

Before Iglesias came on the air, the three participants with Matthews said that Sen. Domenici should be subpoenaed as well, and one commented that "he has already lawyered up."

That was about the Judiciary Committee's subpoenas.

The Senate Ethics Committee should also consider whether Domenici's actions constituted inference in the justice system, not that they will do anything, but who knows?

This story rolls on. In today's NY Times, the U.S. Attorney in Michigan has come out questioning her firing and Subpoenas Force Talks for Testimony Deal.
