Dismissal of U.S. attorneys controversy documents

The various documents obtained by request or subpoena during dismissal of U.S attorneys controversy by both the United States House and Senate Committees on the Judiciary, originally produced by the Department of Justice (DOJ) or White House have been made available to the public and press via the two congressional judiciary committees' web sites. The documents received a great deal of attention in the United States press from March 2007 onward, and have been repeatedly cited or excerpted in news reports, editorials and analyses. The documents largely include copies of memoranda and email among leadership and key individuals within the United States Department of Justice, as well as key members of the Executive Office of the President, commonly termed White House.

Below is an extended set of references, and includes committee hearing transcripts, which were usually produced by Congressional Quarterly, and published by the Washington Post. Most documents listed were re-published at the Washington Post's web site, and some are linked from the two congressional judiciary committees' web sites. Some Op-Ed articles and editorials by key participants in the controversy are also listed below.
