In short, Trump retaliated against a veteran US Attorney because she failed to prosecute one of his enemies and also prosecuted a member of his administration. The US Attorney's office is supposed to be immune from political influence, but the Attorney General is ignoring that precedent — he amazingly clings to precedent when it helps the President but instantly discards it when it does not.
The US Attorney in question is only one victim of many in Trump's administration-wide vendetta now underway targeting anyone who testified against him, spoke out against him, criticized him, or is generally suspected of being disloyal. That effort in part is being steered by a sitting Supreme Court justice's wife in a grossly inappropriate conflict of interest.
Meanwhile, Republicans on Capitol Hill sit by and pretend this escalating corruption isn't happening. Democrats, for their part, are speaking out, but both parties are needed to pass any sort of reform legislation, so of course that won't be happening.
The GOP needs to change its name. It's now the Banana Republican Party. They also need to be voted out of office.
