The New York Times (via John Combest) is reporting that former U.S. attorney Todd Graves thinks he might have been fired because he didn't file charges in a 1990s case that involved Claire McCaskill's office manager.
Here's the lede from the Times story. . .
WASHINGTON, May 9 — The former United States attorney in Kansas City, Mo., said Wednesday that he was pushed to resign last year after disagreements with the Justice Department over politically sensitive cases. That would make him the ninth federal prosecutor forced out by department officials in Washington.
The prosecutor, Todd P. Graves, who held the office in Kansas City from 2001 until March 2006, was the subject of a complaint in 2005 from a staff member for Senator Christopher S. Bond, Republican of Missouri, a spokesman for Mr. Bond confirmed.
