Last year, eight U.S. attorneys were fired and during the middle of a term, which makes it pretty suspicious, since the president usually does so at the beginning of an office term. The Senate Judiciary Committee chairman then issued a subpoena to Attorney General Alberto Gonzales to try to get emails that Bush's top political adviser sent regarding the firings. He is accused of dismissing the attorneys on not going after Democrats on voter fraud charges or pursuing corruption charges on Republicans too much. The White House denies it.
This article is about the how the President might be abusing his power of being able to legally hire attorneys. He might be dismissing people based on his preferences. The other branches of government are trying to find out if it is true and check his power accordingly by investigating it and also requiring people to go to court. It is a good thing that the investigation is going on because it is not fair to others if the President is hiring people that would benefit him, and if it were allowed to go on, the country will be run by the President and his loyal supporters.

i wouldn't be suprised if someone is abusing their power. the whole system seems curropt.
I don't like the idea that Mr. President fires attorneys just due to his preferences. But I think that if one has that much power, it would be so easy to abuse it in a second, not even realizing it.
