Nevada U.S. Attorneys's office to add staff
Local papers report on the U.S. Attorney’s office to add seven attorneys, plus additional staff, positions that had been unfunded.
Senator Ensign stated that he had muted criticism of AG Alberto Gonzales over the firing of former Nevada U.S. Attorney Dan Bogden while trying to get the staffing needed. Apparently unconscious of the political trade his muted criticism constituted, Ensign stated "I wanted to make sure that instead of playing politics, we were solving a problem. . . .”
