Did we catch this? This goes with my last post on 27th floor. Where does SOROS have a summer home? EDNY? (Long Island)
Attorney General William P. Barr Announces the Appointment of Richard P. Donoghue as Principal Associate Deputy Attorney General; Designation of Seth D. DuCharme as Acting U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of New York
Note:
EDNY
"The United States Attorney for the Eastern District of New York is the chief federal law enforcement officer in five New York counties: Kings (Brooklyn), Queens, Richmond (Staten Island), Nassau and Suffolk. The current interim U.S. Attorney is Richard Donoghue, who replaced acting U.S. Attorney Bridget Rohde on January 4, 2018. Loretta E. Lynch served as United States Attorney for the Eastern District of New York before resigning to take office as U.S. Attorney General on April 27, 2015."
Loretta E. Lynch: April 22, 2010–2015
Now. Who put Donoghue in place?
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Wednesday, January 3, 2018
"Attorney General Jeff Sessions Appoints Richard P. Donoghue as Interim United States Attorney for the Eastern District Of New York"
Next: "Seth D. DuCharme, who for the last six months has been principal associate deputy attorney general in Washington, is swapping roles with Richard Donoghue, the current U.S. Attorney for the Brooklyn-based Eastern District."
"The moves follow controversial staff changes in the ranks of federal prosecutors. U.S. Attorney for the Manhattan-based Southern District of New York Geoffrey Berman was ousted in June. Berman initially refused to step down, forcing President Donald Trump to fire him the next day."
"He ((*Berman)) ultimately agreed to leave, after Barr backed off his earlier plan to install New Jersey’s top federal prosecutor, Craig Carpenito, in his place as acting U.S. Attorney."
DuCharme previously worked in the Eastern District starting in 2008 and held roles in the general crimes, violent crimes, national security and cybercrime sections.
"Before his current position, he served as counsel to Barr from March to December 2019."
Department of Justice Announces DuCharme/Donoghue Swapping Roles
“Rich (Donoghue) has served with distinction and integrity for many years in the Eastern District of New York, earning a well-deserved reputation throughout New York City and Long Island as an outstanding prosecutor with second-to-none judgment,” said Attorney General William P. Barr.
“Throughout his time as an Assistant U.S. Attorney, Chief of the Criminal Division for E.D.N.Y., and U.S. Attorney, Rich’s intellect, decisiveness, management style, and dedication to the job has led to him successfully prosecuting many high-profile violent-crime cases (including against MS-13 and other violent gangs), drug trafficking offenses, and white-collar crimes. His experience will be a huge asset to the Office of the Deputy Attorney General, and we look forward to working with him here at Main Justice.”
"These moves follow staff changes in the ranks of federal prosecutors. U.S. Attorney for the Manhattan-based Southern District of New York Geoffrey Berman was replaced by New Jersey’s top federal prosecutor, Craig Carpenito, in June with Audrey Strauss as the Acting United States Attorney for the Southern District. Berman initially refused to step down and was later fired."
