Saw my first pic of Gleeson and he seems VERY YOUNG to be RETIRED!! Did they MAKE him retire??
He is 66. I do not know how he became retired. He was appointed by Bill Clinton and left office 3/9/2016. That was before Trump was even elected. This is from Wikipedia: On January 4, 2016, it was announced that Gleeson planned to resign from the bench and return to private practice on March 9, 2016. He joined white shoe firm Debevoise & Plimpton to practice white-collar crime defense.
