House Dems: Keep Ousted Prosecutor On

Way to go!

House Democrats, led by Rep. Rahm Emmanuel (D-IL), are pushing for U.S. Attorney Carol Lam to continue to preside over the Duke Cunningham investigation as outside counsel. Two days after Lam's office brought two historic (and incredibly detailed) indictments, she's on her way out, one of the seven federal prosecutors forced out by the administration in December.

Today, Emmanuel, along with Rep. Howard Berman (D-CA), House Judiciary Chairman John Conyers (D-MI), and Rep. Linda Sánchez (D-CA), sent a second request to Attorney General Alberto Gonzales that Lam stay on the case as outside counsel. Apparently Emmanuel's first request went unanswered.
