Keeping many Clinton holdovers was part of Bush's setting a "new tone" in Washington.
These partisan Clinton DAs repaid Bush by going soft on Democratic operatives who were caught in vote fraud.....

Each of these fired US Attorneys was appointed by Bush in 2001, except for Kevin Ryan -- he was appointed in 2002. Some had been assitant US Attorneys before their appointment, but in each case they got that job during a republican administration.
The links from the DOJ may not be around for long since these people have been fired, but each shows when the fired US Attorney was appointed.
They could not have been fired for being Clinton apointees who wanted to undermine Bush for partisan reasons.
