Every DAG Has His Day
For departure. For Deputy Attorney General Paul McNulty, his last day at the Department of Justice will be in not-too-distant future. He announced his intention to resign earlier today.
But he won’t be leaving the DOJ as abruptly as, say, Monica Goodling. He’ll stick around for a few more months:
McNulty, who has served 18 months as the Justice Department’s second-in-command, announced his plans at a closed-door meeting of U.S. attorneys in San Antonio, according to two senior department aides. He said he will remain at the department until this fall or until the Senate approves a successor, the aides said.
(It’s nice to know that we were actually right about something. But then again, even a stopped clock is right twice a day.)

Hey, you promised an Orrick bonus memo back on Friday. Can we get a look at it? Please? Wah, wah, wah.
How you say?
WRRRRAAAAAAAAAAWWWWNNNG.
Any thoughts on who might replace him?
WRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
All that's left is for McNulty to become an hero.
I say Kevin O'Connor (US Atty for CT) will replace McNulty.
AlGo named O’Connor, as his Chief of Staff in April 2007. O'Connor also was recently appointed an Associate Deputy AG.
Mark it.
Lat,
How about some coverage of the Bluebook Invitational this past weekend? We hear you were there...
