From NY Times:
WASHINGTON — The Justice Department has appointed at least 30 former prosecutors and other government officials as well-paid corporate monitors in arrangements that allow companies to avoid criminal prosecution, according to government data released Thursday by Congress.
The Justice Department identified 40 corporate monitors appointed since 2000 to follow up on the agreements, including Mr. Ashcroft. This group was made up overwhelmingly of former government officials, at least 30 in all. They included 23 former prosecutors, including two former United States attorneys in the Bush administration: Debra Wong Yang in Los Angeles and David N. Kelley in Manhattan. Several judges and federally appointed commissioners, as well as James Doty, the former general counsel of the Securities and Exchange Commission and a lawyer for the Bush family, were named as monitors. In most cases, the amount of money received by the monitors was not listed in the documents.
