On December 7, 2006, the George W. Bush Administration's Department of Justice ordered the unprecedented midterm dismissal of seven United States attorneys. Congressional investigations focused on whether the Department of Justice and the White House were using the U.S. Attorney positions for political advantage. Allegations were that some of the attorneys were targeted for dismissal to impede investigations of Republican politicians or that some were targeted for their failure to initiate investigations that would damage Democratic politicians or hamper Democratic-leaning voters. The U.S. attorneys were replaced with interim appointees, under provisions in the 2005 USA PATRIOT Act reauthorization.

  • أمرت وزارة العدل في ظل إدارة جورج بوش الابن بالفصل لمنتصف المدة بشكل غير مسبوق لسبعة وكلاء لوزارة العدل الأمريكية في 7 ديسمبر 2006. ركزت تحقيقات الكونغرس على ما إذا كان وكلاء وزارة العدل الأمريكية والبيت الأبيض يستخدمون منصب وكيل وزارة العدل الأمريكية لتحقيق مكاسب سياسية. كانت المزاعم أن بعض الوكلاء قد استُهدفوا بالفصل لعرقلة التحقيقات مع بعض السياسيين الجمهوريين في حين استُهدف بعضهم لفشلهم في بدء التحقيقات التي من شأنها الإضرار بالسياسيين الديمقراطيين أو إعاقة الناخبين ذوي الميول الديمقراطية. استُبدل وكلاء وزارة العدل الأمريكية بوكلاء مؤقتين، بموجب أحكام قانون باتريوت أكت لعام 2005 لإعادة التفويض.
