On March 29, Kyle Sampson told the Senate Judiciary Committee, under oath, that he had no replacements in mind before the DOJ fired the U.S. attorneys in Dec. 2006. But a new e-mail released to the House Judiciary Committee shows that a year before the prosecutors were fired - Sampson recommended replacements for almost every one of them.
