Don't blame Bud

He just told you what was coming:

Washington, D.C. (AHN) - One of the eight fired U.S. prosecutors warned the White House of the controversy that was going to come over the firings months before they happened. In an e-mail, Bud Cummins warned the Justice Department five months before the firings about the controversy after finding out he was going to be replaced by a White House appointee.

Cummins was replaced by a protégé of Karl Rove.

Cummins e-mail was amid documents sent Friday to the House and Senate Judiciary committees.

The firings have prompted many to call for the resignation of Attorney General Alberto Gonzales.

Cummins said he was trying to protect himself with the e-mail. He said he had nothing to do with the ensuing controversy over the handling of the firings.
