Lots of speculation possible about this...
I will hazard a guess. Wray and shifty know they’re going to have to give up the unredacted memos and they’re starting some damage control cause this career official was knee deep in the deep state.
This is exactly who you expect to be deep state. High level career bureaucrats. I wonder if he was a political appointee and promoted to career bureaucrat and if so who’s administration.
“Unique opportunities” are best taken because someone powerful wants you out of the way. So we can definitively establish that someone wants Scott Schools out of the way. It appears that Ed O’Callaghan will continue in the role both men had been fulfilling.
According to wiki, Ed O’Callaghan was 1/3 of the “Truth Squad” that was supposed to protect Sarah Palin. Sarah Palin was not well protected, needless to say. We don’t know who the weasel was that I know of. He helped her with Troopergate according to wiki, and then he got out of politics after that until coming back to help Trump.
That is all I’ve got.
It may be that he was the evil person who screwed over Palin, but there was a Bushie on the team who seems more likely.
It could be that he is a Trump loyalist and the Cohen situation is going to present some problems.
One thing is for sure. Somebody has been running interference for Trump throughout this process.
“Another attorney at the department, Bradley Weinsheimer, will replace Schools in an acting capacity but will not oversee Mueller’s work. Weinsheimer has 27 years of experience working at the Justice Department, the department’s news release said.”
I think this says it all.
Sessions is booting him. Now Mueller will either be put under tight controls or he will run wild.
We will have to wait and see.
My hope is that they will chain him to the dog house.
Wow, that Sessions actually made a whole announcement by himself.
Incredible. Where do you find men that can handle things like that?
Lost in space...

People underestimate just how big these private sector offers are. An Assistant Attorney General can turn his $200,000 government job into a $2+ million full partnership at a big law firm.
Federal prosecutors becoming defense attorneys is the mechanism for the different justice systems for the political elites and for everyone else.
