As noted below, today, Attorney General Michael Mukasey appointed a special prosecutor to investigate the firings of nine U.S. Attorneys.  The report issued by DOJ's Inspector General and Office of Professional Responsibility has also implicated another member of Congress -- Senator Kit Bond (R-MO):

The Justice Department's Office of Professional Responsiblity and its Inspector General have released their long-awaited report on the firings of nine U.S. Attorneys -- including Todd Graves of the western district of Missouri.

The nearly 400-page report concludes Graves was one of the attorneys forced out -- and it blames Kit Bond's staff for the ouster.  

"Graves faced opposition from the staff of his home-state senator, Kit Bond, which we concluded likely led to his removal."
