Holder assistant leaves Justice Department
Washington Examiner ^ | 1/3/12 | Joel Gehrke

Posted on 01/03/2012 7:29:13 PM PST by Nachum

Laurie Robinson, Assistant Attorney General for the Office of Justice Programs (OJP) under Attorney General Eric Holder, is leaving the Department of Justice (DOJ), according to an announcement released just before the start of the Iowa caucuses.

"Laurie Robinson has helped transform OJP’s role in the criminal and juvenile justice field, bringing scientific rigor, a true sense of partnership, transparency, and accountability to the agency," Attorney General Eric Holder said in a statement on her departure at the end of February. "I am proud of her service to OJP’s constituents, the Department of Justice and the Obama Administration and personally grateful for her friendship and her many contributions to ensuring true justice for all Americans. The United States is a safer and fairer nation due to her efforts."

A lot of it sounds like pure BS to me! I think that’s about the most we get from our “Justice” department these days!

Let's hope Issa put the clamps on all her emails and memoes before she left.

Her husband, Sheldon Krantz appears to be a long time Democrat and contributor. He worked with the Clinton administration and specialized in ‘White Collar Crime’ and criminal defense.

Wonder where she is going to...

Ooh. I like this one....

Q & A with Laurie Robinson

http://www.mainjustice.com/2010/05/07/q-a-with-laurie-robinson/

And THIS caught my eye-

“...Alone in OJP we have over 75 different funding streams”

She doled out the money. She knows where the money came from. Ah, so interesting.

Gads, does anyone ever actually leave the bureaucracy? I swear that there are likely corpses sitting at desks still receiving a paycheck.

She’s apparently a pretty sharp cookie - her bio says “She is a magna cum laude graduate of Brown University and a member of Phi Beta Kappa.”

Smart enough to jump ship before the next round of hearings.

Revolving door at that level. If she thinks Hillary can win, it’s a no-brainer to jump in early. She’ll get a better job if it works out. If Obama loses, she’s gone anyhow.
