Obstructing Justice
The Gonzales Eight, as the New York Times calls the U.S. Attorneys arbitrarily fired by the Department of Justice, is ironically comprised of two Independents and six Republicans, including John McKay, who was targeted by the Building Industry Association of Washington for refusing to open a politically-based investigation of the Democrats.
What a contrast with former U.S. Attorney General Elliot Richardson, who resigned rather than obstruct justice for President Nixon. Now days, the Attorney General fires people for not committing crimes.
