This is missing the issue completely. Every president fires the last president's attorneys when they get into office. It's understandable that Clinton wouldn't want Bush Sr.'s republican attorneys, anymore than Bush Jr. would want Clinton's democrat attorneys. The issue here is that Bush Jr. fired his OWN republican attorney's midterm for not going after enough Democrats**. It is important to consider that in many close elections (where there is about a 2% swing, such as existed in the time leading up to the '06 elections) an indictment, even one that will eventually be acquitted is strong enough to help the other party win.
**Which is rather ridiculous frankly, because during the Bush presidency the offices of the U.S. Attorneys across the nation investigated seven times as many Democratic officials as they investigated Republican officials, a number that exceeds even the racial profiling of African Americans in traffic stops.
