(Washington Post) — D.C. Council Chairman Vincent C. Gray (D) on Thursday called on Mayor Adrian M. Fenty to fire Attorney General Peter Nickles, arguing that Nickles is serving not as the city’s top lawyer but as “the mayor’s political hatchet man.” In a new and aggressive attack on the Fenty administration’s ethics, Gray said in a statement that Nickles cannot be trusted to be impartial because he has been “protecting the mayor’s cronies” and working as an “enabler of the mayor’s cronyism.”
