The Eyes of the Law: I Scream, You Scream
We all scream for ice cream! And that includes high-ranking officials of the U.S. Department of Justice.
Here’s our latest legal celebrity sighting:
Last night I watched the fireworks from the South Lawn of the White House. The event had a very DC feel to it: everyone there was quasi-famous, even if you couldn’t figure out why.But I did recognize one person: Deputy Attorney General Paul McNulty, the second-highest-ranking official at the DOJ. He was dressed casually, in a red polo shirt, and was sitting on a blanket with his wife and kids.
McNulty may not be Brad Pitt — but here in Washington, he might as well have been. People kept going up to him, introducing themselves, and having their picture taken with him. This is clearly the dorkiest city in the entire country (and I count myself among the dorks, since I recognized him too).
I discreetly took two photographs of DAG McNulty munching on a Dove ice cream bar. Here they are.
High-ranking Justice Department officials: they’re just like us. They eat ice cream bars!

so creepy...who wants to see this?
In the picture on the left, it looks like McNulty is thinking some very deep thoughts - like "where should I go next"?
This is completely gratuitous. Let the man enjoy ice cream with his family in peace.
Dag, yo!
bring back asian girl for legal blog
did the kids wear red shirts too?
Hey - how did Lat score entrance to the South Lawn?!?
This sighting was from a tipster. It's written in the singular first person, so it couldn't be Lat.
Who is going to replace McNulty? For that matter, who is going to replace Mercer?
I didn't need this post to tell me that Washington D.C. is the dorkiest city...I've been there.
"Who is going to replace McNulty?...Mercer?"
Probably someone held in high regard by whoever replaces Gonzo.
BTW, Lat, didn't you promise us some more high profile DOJ departures to come? How about an update on that gossip? Who's leaving? Where are they going?
FIRST to post "First."
First.
Yes.
Suck it, you other firsters!
well ... he is kinda cute.
Monica Goodling (who McNulty tried to throw under the bus) is way better looking.
He looks like he's eaten way too many ice cream bars.
I knew McNulty in high school. He was a skinny little twerp on the cross-country team.
Only in Washington would that guy be considered "cute." Ugh. Hit the government provided gym, Paul.
