But, Clinton did it too

Faux News and other Republican hacks are all saying about the firing of federal prosecutors, "Clinton did it too." Here are the two (that's two, not eight) federal prosecutors that Clinton fired in the middle of their terms:

Larry Colleton, U.S. Attorney for the Middle District of Florida. Colleton, appointed by President Clinton, according to news reports, “had been U.S. attorney for Florida’s middle district for only five months on May 6 [1994] when he was videotaped grabbing Jacksonville television reporter Richard Rose by the throat. The newsman had been trying to question him about recent decisions in his office.”26 He resigned in July 1994.

Kendall Coffey, U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Florida. Coffey, appointed by President Clinton, resigned on May 12, 1996, according to news reports, “amid accusations that he bit a topless dancer on the arm during a visit to an adult club after losing a big drug case.”
