His boss alleges that the Bush team may have obstructed justice by firing several of the prosecutors for investigating Republicans or for not investigating Democrats--a serious charge that the G.O.P. says is itself politically motivated. Bharara's job is to make the case. An early victory: he got four of the U.S. Attorneys to testify, and two of them said they had felt political pressure.
