Here's another fine civil servant stepping down,, and it looks like he slipped out the back door, which doesn't have the ass-hitting potential of a real front door resignation:
Bradley Schlozman, a former Justice Department official who was at the center of the U.S. attorneys scandal and is under investigation by the Departments inspector general for his alleged efforts to politicize the Civil Rights Division, has finally left his post at the Department.
After he left his position as the U.S. attorney in Kansas City this April, Schlozman moved to the Justice Department office that oversees all U.S. attorneys. Reached on his cell phone today, Schlozman confirmed that he'd left the Department last week, but refused to say anything more and then hung up.
Hey, Brad, just askin....you little punk.
Besides having a sniveling demeanor and an annoying whiney voice, and a Karl Rove/Tim Griffin bodily habitus, Schlozman's facial hair statement needs a radical revision. Careerwise, the Schloz
was the head of the Civil Rights Division of the United States Department of Justice, under Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, until he served a year as interim US Attorney for the Western District of Missouri. He was appointed by Alberto Gonzales and assumed office on March 23, 2006,[1] the first interim U.S. Attorney to be appointed under a new controversial provision in the revised U.S. Patriot Act (which allowed for an indefinite appointment without Senate confirmation). He replaced Todd P. Graves, who announced his resignation two weeks earlier.[2] Recently Schlozman and his office has come under review by US Congressional and Senate investigators looking at the Dismissal of U.S. Attorneys controversy, and "the role [that] voter fraud may have played in the Administration’s decisions to retain or remove certain U.S. Attorneys."[3] In April 2007 he left the U.S. Attorney position to work at the Executive Office for United States Attorneys.
Not sure that DoJ has enough people left to even prosecute the Michael Vick case. With Karl and the Schloz both gone, will voter "fraud" finally die a richly deserved death? and will "civil rights" have some real meaning again? Probably not.
