The UALR Law School and the Clinton School of Public Service will have a panel discussion, “The Ousted U.S. Attorneys,” at noon Sept. 20 at the law school featuring former U.S. attorneys, including Bud Cummins, who were ousted in the 2006 Bush administration politicized shakeup of the Justice Department. To date, Cummins has been decidedly circumspect about the submarining he took to advance the cause of Tim Griffin, now the Republican nominee for 2nd District Congress. It would be a timely opportunity for Cummins to be more candid.
