The former U.S. attorney in Seattle, John McKay, says his firing and the firing of seven other federal prosecutors should be investigated by the Justice Department's inspector general.
McKay says he's the only independent authority in the department who reports to Congress.
McKay told The Associated Press in an interview today that if the inspector general doesn't investigate then the case may go to a special prosecutor.
McKay says if politics entered into the decision to fire the prosecutors it was highly improper or a violation of the law.
McKay was told to resign in December. The Bush appointee who was in the job six years, left office in January and is now teaching at Seattle University.
