Sessions getting lots of criticism ..... not commenting on whether he deserves it personally or not, but I was unaware that there were so many vacancies in the DOJ. This would cripple anybody in Sessions’ position.
From Powerline http://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2018/02/the-gap-at-doj.php :
With Brand’s departure, here is what the top echelon of the Department of Justice looks like:
Attorney General – Jeff Sessions
Deputy Attorney General – Rod Rosenstein
Associate Attorney General – vacant
Solicitor General – Noel Francisco
Assistant Attorney General, Civil Division – vacant, nomination pending
Assistant Attorney General, Civil Rights Division – vacant, nomination pending
Assistant Attorney General, Criminal Division – vacant, nomination pending
Assistant Attorney General, National Security Division – vacant, nomination pending
Assistant Attorney General, Environmental Division – vacant, nomination pending
Assistant Attorney General, Tax Division – vacant
As a result of all these vacancies, Obama holdovers still exercise significant control over the Department. Indeed, Christian Adams argues that they “still run the show.”
Almost all of those jobs will go to career DOJ personnel. Look up the background of those who previously held those now-vacant jobs.
Every vacant job always has someone who is in the “Acting” capacity with full authority, and who also gets the extra pay.
Most career bureaucrats are essentially interchangeable within their specialties.
That Sessions selected RosenWeasel speaks volumes as to his intent to fix the place.
Vacant positions for Dems that do nothing. Keep them open. Sessions is long gone and has already created much damage to “us”.
