Jim Letten’s announcement was an abrupt end to his tenure as the nation’s longest-serving U.S. Attorney.
His crusade against crime resulted in convictions of corrupt judges, killer police officers, bribe-taking officials in New Orleans’ long-troubled school system, and scammers who tried to rip off Hurricane Katrina aid programs. Who can forget his rise to fame as an assistant U.S. Attorney leading the successful racketeering prosecution of former Governor Edwin Edwards?
Our Food for Thought question: Do you think the problems in Letten’s office warrant a resignation?

Absolutely not!! I believe the ones who have done wrong should be relieved of their jobs. It's a sad day in Louisiana, because their is no one like Jim Letten, who has cleaned up the corrupt politicians in our state.Once jim leaves , watch the corrupt politicians come out of the wood work

I do not believe that his resignation was necessary.
