Hey, you know those US Attorneys who were fired for allegedly "underperforming"? Yeah, one of the ones that the Bush Administration thinks is competent (which, as we've noted before, may just mean loyal to Bush (presumably over the law or the Constitution)) just cost the U.S. government a hundred million bucks.. The judge in the case is apologetic:
"I've come to the conclusion, very reluctantly, that I have no authority to order restitution," Friedman said. "I hope the government will appeal me."
but the plea bargain papers noted the wrong statute.
