Assistant Attorney General Rachel Brand Announces Departure
from Justice Department�s Office of Legal Policy
WASHINGTON � Rachel Brand, Assistant Attorney General for Legal Policy, has announced her resignation from the Department of Justice, effective July 9, 2007. President Bush nominated Ms. Brand to the position on March 29, 2005, and the Senate confirmed her appointment in July 2005.
�Rachel Brand has served the Department of Justice and the American people with distinction and honor,� said Attorney General Alberto R. Gonzales. �Her considerable knowledge of legal policy is rivaled only by her passion for the issues and projects on which she worked during her tenure here at the Department. I will miss her significant contributions as an advisor to me.�
As Assistant Attorney General for Legal Policy, Brand managed the development of a variety of civil and criminal policy initiatives, the creation of departmental regulations, and the Department�s role in the confirmation of the President�s judicial nominees. She played an integral role in securing reauthorization of the USA PATRIOT Act in 2006, and was responsible for preparing Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Samuel Alito for their confirmation hearings.
Most recently, Brand led the development of the Department�s 2007 crime bill and spearheaded the Attorney General's Initiative for Safer Communities.
Brand also demonstrated significant leadership through her service on the Attorney General�s Intellectual Property Task Force, her chairmanship of the policy committee of the President's Identity Theft Task Force, and her organization of the first National Methamphetamine Awareness Day. She has led a range of major Departmental initiatives involving the protection of children, the rights of crime victims, and efforts to combat trafficking in persons.
I have a question. How many USAs were purged in 2004, where it looked like business as usual? I mean they got rid of people that were investigating corruption or were not proven to be "bushie loyal"?
With all the cover-ups going on after 9/11 and the corruption of the 109th, missing Pentagon funds, etc....not to mention major election fraud, there had to be some fired. Any idea?
Any new captures/kills?
Teak:
When the USA purge investigation began by Senator Feinstein and Senator Leahy, there were reported 7 USA fired. Since then, another 2 were added and counting. It is hard to say how many USAs were actually illegally fired since there is still an ongoing invetigation. I had posted an email document some time ago the the House Judiciary document dump that showed how many USAs in each state left or resigned from the Justice Department. The numbers are high and devastating.
Never know what you'll find in the Friday night dump ;D
