As one of the comments points out in another post, a lengthy story on the U.S. attorney controversy dated yesterday out of McClatchy's Washington Bureau contained the following paragraph near the end:
"A U.S. attorney in Minnesota, who disagreed with the Justice Department on a case involving voting rolls, was asked to resign early last year. "
Former U.S. Attorney Thomas Heffelfinger has repeatedly said that he was not asked to resign. So far, there doesn't appear to be anything in the local papers about this, which is a bit perplexing if that paragraph is correct and new info has been found. We will see what develops.
Update: 11:16 A.M. --
The McClatchy paragraph was apparently in error. The story on the website now reads: "A U.S. attorney in Missouri, who disagreed with the Justice Department on a case involving voting rolls, was asked to resign early last year."
Now that is what I call a big oops.
