Yesterday, McClatchy ran a piece about the high number of Justice Department employees who are also apparently active members of the Republican National Lawyers Association. Here's something to bring that story home for you.
The Justice Department, we like to think, is a nonpartisan institution. And yet, on the Republican National Lawyers Association website, you can find 25 Justice Department employees listed under "Find a Republican Lawyer".
The listings, according to McClatchy, "strike some current and former Justice Department lawyers as inappropriate, especially given that several members of the group work in the Justice Department's voting section, criminal division or as assistant U.S. attorneys."
Take two of those listed names in particular:, Christian Adams and Joshua Rogers, both lawyers in the voting section.
And here is a partial list of the 'Find a Republican lawyer' database that I combed through of names of members who are from the DOJ:

Not bad SPB your one smart cookie. This is turning into to some big scandal as the names and places come to light.
Oh my, this could open up a whole new can of worms.
Wow, big scandal, dude. American citizens do not give up their rights when they join the federal government. DOJ lawyers have every right to belong to political parties and to engage in partisan political activity (outside of the workplace) as any other citizen. Or do you seriously believe that all those people who work for DOJ (tens of thousands) should give up their right to join a political party and vote and advocate accordingly? Get a clue.
