Hmmmmm ..?? I wonder if the new boss informed all the attorneys to keep their mouths shut.
Which is only appropriate because they are going to be dealing with possibly some very, very touchy subjects .. and it’s not the job of the attorneys to discuss it in public.
The U.S. Attorneys don’t mind. Once you have this on your resume you are pretty much guaranteed less work and more money as a senior partner with a big firm. It looks awfully good on the resume of any law firm to have a former U.S. Attorney on board.
