McKay suggests his ouster was ‘possibly illegal.’

“Fired U.S. Attorney John McKay said Sunday he believes the Justice Department is covering up the real reason for his ouster. … ‘I still don’t know if the 2004 governor’s election was the principal reason I was asked to step down,’ McKay said in a speech. … ‘If it was, I think it is an entirely improper and perhaps illegal reason for my termination,” said McKay.’”
