Schloz Shortened

/in /by

From TPMM, though no details about why or when:

Bradley Schlozman, a former Justice Departmentofficial who was at the center of the U.S. attorneys scandal and isunder investigation by the Departments inspector general for hisalleged efforts to politicize the Civil Rights Division, has finallyleft his post at the Department.

And while we’re counting people leaving DOJ, one of the good guys is leaving, too:

DLA Piper US LLP today announced that Peter Zeidenberg, a leading trialattorney, has joined the firm as a partner in the Washington, D.C.office. He comes to the firm from the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ)where he served as trial attorney in the Public Integrity Section ofthe Criminal Division.

In his capacity as Trial Attorney,Zeidenberg was engaged in the investigation and prosecution of local,state and federal public officials. His trial experience includesprosecution of some of the highest profile criminal cases handled bythe DOJ.

In addition to winning the "Who’s Your Daddy" contest at the Libby trial, Zeidenberg won the first trial conviction, of David Safavian, in the Abramoff case. Our country will miss the services of Zeidenberg much more acutely than those of Schlozman.

    As for Schlozman, that really must be the headlight of a fast moving freight train coming down the tracks… Again, it is Monday and the news is getting out. Something big is brewing…

    â€Schloz Shortenedâ€. Wow, I would have thought it impossible to shorten that little prick any more than he already was. Is his voice squeakier too?

  3. Mimikatz says:

    First Rove and then Schlozman. What do they have in common? Politicizing the DOJ. Was Schlozman in any way involved with Don Seligman? Makes it seem more likely something is coming down the pike.

  4. zhiv says:

    It’s hard to tell from the non-announcement, but it seems like Schloz’ last day was the day of Rove’s announcement.

    The Schloz. You definitely could not make up that criminal with that name and that voice going on a reign of terror in the DoJ, gutting the civil rights division, etc.

    Reason for Schloz departure revealed:

    It turns out that the Chipmunks are getting back together and needed Alvin back.

    I’d like to know if Squeaky Schloz was shaking down any LGBT members of the DOJ, along with the more obvious minority members. Wonder if this will ever be covered?

    bmaz, Squeaky Scholz is more than voice and form; his comical image is enhanced with Nazi specs and sinister facial hair.

    It’s too bad these bad Republicans are not stocks–we could make $millions selling them short.

    I remain dumbfounded that so many of them prove so dedicated to the destruction of American principles of democracy and rule of law
