“It cannot be overlooked that while most of the more senior DOJ “veterans” on the SCO went to lucrative careers in private practice after departing, several of the younger members of the SCO returned to positions in the Department of Justice. That means they have been subject to potential investigation by internal DOJ disciplinary offices like the Inspector General or Office of Professional Responsibility. Issues like “wiping” their SCO issued phones without authorization, and likely in violation of DOJ policy might not mean much to Andrew Weissmann and Jeannie Rhee, but for younger attorneys still in DOJ like Brandon Van Grack, Aaron Zelinsky, and Adam Jed, their DOJ careers might hang in the balance — and potentially their licenses to practice law. It is possible they were directed or encouraged to take some actions they now regret, or for which they are now vulnerable to leverage by Durham or other government investigators.”

They were “just following orders.” And maybe they were just following orders—and threats. And maybe we should let them say they were just following orders and threats and get a slap on the wrist and let them write books, go on books tours, and be stars on CourtTV, John Solomon’s new shows, and the like.
And you know what, as long as the evidence they impart and the testimony they give results in the execution of traitors, I’m good with them being made into semi-heroes. It’s a lesson to would-be malefactors that they cannot rely on the silence of underlings.
One more thing: I don’t think these underlings just now were pressured into flipping. This happened months ago. The cat is just now being let out of the bag.
Big grin.
juicy - I wonder which name it is that keeps recurring for the DC legal types ...
My, my, that was interesting.
