Hey, I just read something relevant to this. First, I wanna introduce this badass attorney who was one of the people fired:

Preetinder Singh "Preet" Bharara is an Indian-born American attorney and the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York. Earning a reputation of a "Crusader" prosecutor, his office has prosecuted diplomats and people in other countries. He prosecuted nearly 100 Wall Street executives, reached historic settlements and fines with the four largest banks in the US, and closed multibillion-dollar hedge funds for activities including insider trading. He also prosecuted New York state politicians, including the Speaker of the New York State Assembly, Sheldon Silver and the Majority Leader of State Senate, Dean Skelos, and at one time he threatened to prosecute the governor Andrew Cuomo for alleged corruption.

Now the relevant part:

Bharara served as the chief counsel to Senator Chuck Schumer and played a leading role in the United States Senate Committee on the Judiciary investigation into the firings of United States attorneys. He was an assistant United States Attorney in Manhattan for five years, bringing criminal cases against the bosses of the Gambino crime family, Colombo crime family, and Asian gangs in New York City.

The firings in question are, of course, the 2006 Bush attorney firings. The Trump administration makes the worst enemies.
