Gregory B. Craig, a well-known Washington lawyer who quarterbacked President Bill Clinton’s impeachment defense, has been chosen White House counsel by President-elect Barack Obama, according to Democratic officials.

Craig is intimately familiar with the president-elect’s record because he played the role of Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) in debate preparations.

Fine, Obambi: keep filling up your adminstration with Clintoonistas.

Craig Gregg should stay away from Fort Marcy.

Many of them seem to be from the Chicago machine.

Most of the ones who aren’t from Clinton’s administration came straight from Podesta’s “Center for American Progress.”

In Health and Human Services, I googled “ (name) Progressive” and only 3 of the team didn’t have some work or position with CAP pop up in the first page.

I know Moreno can’t say “conservative” without stopping and correcting himself to say “neoconservative.” Just last month at the American Society of Bioethics and Humanities, he did this over and over.

Here’s my research with way too many links

Craig is not only a Clintonista. He is an expert in defending criminal conduct. Looks like Obama is preparing for the time when he gets found out.

The good news just keeps coming, doesn't it?

"Craig represented United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan during the Volker Commission's investigations in 2004 into the scandals involving the oil-for-food programme."
