.. from that legacy of Abu's, is my guess. There is literally no one left in Justice to defender her. Even Norm Coleman, the one who recommended her is distancing himself.

but I find it upsetting that Klobuchar is not calling for her dismissal.
Ole Norm bends to which ever way the wind blows.

... admitting that mistakes were made. Can't have that.

"If my friend Rachel Paulose were a liberal Democrat, she would be a celebrity. Serving as the United States attorney for Minnesota, she is the first woman, the first immigrant (Indian), the first Asian, and, at age 34, the youngest attorney ever to hold the position."

-Scott W. Johnson, November 16, 2007 6:00 AM, NRO Online

So let's see what old Scott appears to be saying. Aside from the "celebrity" part, Johnson is telling us that liberal Democrats would overlook little things like racial slurs and national security breaches, if only Rachael Paulose were "one of us" politically.

Can't say I agree. Paulose may have risen quickly to an impressive level, but her conduct from what I've read has been deplorable. If she were a Democrat, I'd be embarrassed to have such a bigoted, irresponsible turd in my party. Why isn't Scott Johnson embarrassed?

And for the record, I find it highly embarrassing to have crooks like William Jefferson, John Murtha and Dianne Feinstein in the Democratic party. We have plenty to be embarrassed about, just not Rachael Paulose, thank science.

"Adapt or perish." Murphy's Law? Nope, Darwin's Guarantee.

... b ut she was booted upstairs. The Justice Department oversees the individual USA offices. Even moreso under present management.

Her grooming continues is the way I read it. I could be wrong about the AG spot in her future, of course. Perhaps I'm channeling her move to the SCOTUS. I dunno. The station isn't coming in real clear.

...to essentially the same position she had before becoming USA? 'Course, as a GOPer, both moves can be spun as promotions.

Paulose's legal career began in 1997 when she worked as a law clerk under Judge James B. Loken of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit. Her cases included violent crime, illegal drugs, economic crimes, and enforcement of civil rights. She then worked as a trial attorney in the Attorney General's Honors Program from 1998 to 1999.

From 1999 until 2002, she worked as an Assistant United States Attorney. Her work included prosecution in District Court and defense in US Court of appeals. Cases involved narcotics, violent crime, economic crime. Jury trial and Eighth circuit appellate highlights: precedent-setting detention of suspect based on economic threat alone; precedent-setting appellate work rejecting expansion of alien criminal defendants' claims of rights under Vienna Convention.

She worked in private practice after 2002 with the Williams & Connolly law firm in Washington D.C until 2003, where her work focused on health care litigation and business[1]. Work also included defense against class action suit demanding slavery reparations.

She was with the Dorsey & Whitney law firm in Minneapolis from 2003 until December, 2005.[1] Work included successful representation of Republican party in election lawsuit; defense of faith-based health care programs. [2]

[edit] Appointment as U.S. Attorney

In January 2006, Paulose returned to the Justice Department where she served briefly as Senior Counsel to Acting Deputy Attorney General Paul McNulty and she was the Department’s Special Counsel for Health Care Fraud. She was a special assistant to Attorney General Alberto Gonzales.[1]

The following month, on February 17th, [3], she was appointed to serve as interim US Attorney for the District of Minnesota. The incumbent U. S. Attorney, Thomas Heffelfinger had announced his resignation effective February 28th.

On February 17th, 2006 Rachel Paulose's appointment was announced "under a controversial provision of the renewed Patriot Act that allowed Attorney General Alberto Gonzales to indefinitely appoint "interim" U.S. attorneys."[8].

On August 3, 2006, while serving as interim U.S. Attorney in Minnesota, [5] Paulose's nomination was sent to the U.S. Senate by President George W. Bush [4]. She was confirmed by the U.S. Senate in a voice vote [5] on December 9, 2006, the last day of the 109th Congress. [6].

The confirmation occurred without a hearing or vote by the Senate Judiciary Committee, but was moved out of committee as part of a rarely used [9] "discharge resolution." [10] Paulose was sworn in as U.S. Attorney on March 9, 2007.

Paulose has pledged to fight child pornographers, and has stated that they are becoming:
“ more graphic, more heinous, and frankly appalling. ”

She has spoken out against urban crime, stating that it threatens the American way of life, and noted that public officials should be held accountable for their actions.[1]

"...Senior Counsel to Acting Deputy Attorney General Paul McNulty, ...Special Counsel for Health Care Fraud,... a special assistant to Attorney General Alberto Gonzales", and now she's legal policy advisor. Booted upstairs, yeah, but does anything go with the nameplate on her door? (Shrug).

She has spoken out against urban crime, stating that it threatens the American way of life, and noted that public officials should be held accountable for their actions.

I smell crossies!
