When Will Former U.S. Attorney Rudy Giuliani Comment On Attorney Purge?
By Greg Sargent | bio

It's time to ask the question: When will Rudy Giuliani comment on the White House's role in the Attorney Purge?

Rudy aspires to occupy the White House, obviously, but he's also making his tenure as U.S. Attorney a key piece of his record as crime fighter, one of his chief rationales for running for President. From his campaign biography:

The Crime Fighter

After the inauguration of Ronald Reagan in 1981, Rudy was named Associate Attorney General, the third highest position in the Department of Justice. He supervised all of the U.S. Attorney Offices and their federal law enforcement agencies, including the Bureau of Corrections, the Drug Enforcement Agency, and the U.S. Marshals.

In 1983, Rudy became United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, where he spearheaded successful efforts against organized crime, white collar criminals, drug dealers and corrupt elected officials. Some of his best known cases include the groundbreaking mafia prosecutions in the "Pizza Connection" and "The Commission" cases, Wall Street corruption cases, and the convictions of corrupt political figures. Few U.S. Attorneys in history can match his record.

Shouldn't we all hear what Rudy thinks of the Attorney Purge and the White House's role in it? We've contacted Rudy's campaign, and asked for a statement. Nothing yet.

Relatedly, when are any of the GOP Presidential candidates going to weigh in on the scandal? How long can they go without commenting? Isn't the media curious to know what they think?

Two of the leading Dem candidates have weighed in already -- but shouldn't the campaigns of members of the President's political party say something about this? We've put in requests to the McCain and Romney camps as well. Stay with us.
