Good Tuesday noon, Fellow Seekers,
Sorry, I’m a couple of days late providing a link to reporter Dan Eggen’s piece in Sunday’s Washington Post following up on the Office of Special Counsel investigation of Rachel Paulose’s management of the U.S. attorney’s office in Minnesota.
Eggen reviews l’affaire Paulose in general, confirms the ongoing special counsel investigation, and comes up with one more problem for Paulose that I didn’t have in last week’s modest scoop. The Office of Special Counsel is an independent agency within the executive branch, not part of the Justice Department. But according to Eggen’s sources, Paulose fared very poorly in an elaborate job review performed by her own department:
“In addition, an internal Justice Department audit completed last month said her employees gave her very low marks, alleging that she treats subordinates harshly and lacks the requisite experience for the job, said several sources familiar with the audit. Her performance review was so poor that Kenneth E. Melson, head of the department’s Executive Office for U.S. Attorneys, took the unusual step of meeting with her in Minnesota several weeks ago, two sources said.”
This surely represents another flare catching fire in the very small circle surrounding Paulose. It has the additional awkward potential to link back to the fact that most of the U.S. attorneys who were fired to make room for new, Bushier replacements, had received excellent job reviews.
All EARS on Paulose
The Justice Department employs an extensive process called EARS for evaluating the work of U.S. attorneys. Eggen is apparently referring to the recent EARS review of her office.
When an office comes up for review, a team of specialists called EARS (Evaluation And Review Staff) is assembled from U.S. attorneys offices around the country. They come to town and interview the U.S. attorney, the staff, and officials of the many agencies with which the U.S. attorney works, such as the FBI, the federal judges and court officials, local law enforcement and prosecutor’s offices, etc., about the quality of the work of the office.
I have not seen the EARS report on Paulose’s office. Eggen’s sources say that it includes still more complaints about Paulose, so serious that the head of the national office came in to talk to her about it.
Most of the U.S. attorneys who were forced out by Team Gonzalez to make way for “loyal Bushies” received very good EARS evaluations.
The Seattle Times got hold of a copy of the most recent review of former Washington State U.S. Attorney John McKasy before he was forced to resign, and it concluded that “McKay is an effective, well-regarded and capable leader of the [U.S. attorney’s office] and the District’s law enforcement community.” His superiors in Washington requested his resignation seven months later.
Dan Eggen reported back in February that six of the seven U.S. attorneys whose resignations had been requested had received positive job evaluations. Technically, Paulose did not replace one of the fired U.S. attorneys. Her predecessor, Thomas Heffelfinger was on a list of U.S. attorneys to be fired, but resigned before his resignation could be requested and maintains that his departure was entirely voluntary. But Heffelfinger’s presence on that list certainly connects Paulose to the larger issue of the U.S. attorney hirings and firings that played such a big role in ending the tenure of Attorney General Alberto Gonzales.
How much more awkward does Paulose’s situation become if her negative EARS review is compared with those of the fired U.S. attorneys?
Look…the real scoop is the info in my 47 page US DOJ OIG Complaint that memorializes thousands of state and federal felony crimes committed by:
NSA 902nd Counterintelligence Group; Bush White House; Donald Rumsfield; General Michael Hayden; Robert Swan Mueller III; FBI HQ; Sioux Falls, SD, FBI; Minneapolis FBI; Austin,TX, FBI; Austin PD; Sioux Falls PD; Minnehaha County States Attorneys; SD Attorney Generals Mark Barnett and Larry Long; Travis County Sheriff’s Dept.
This DOJ OIG Complaint was sent to Denver and Dallas Field Office special agents Van Lancker and Monte Casson. The complaint was obstructed until Senator Pat Leahy and his staff at US Senate Judiciary Committee read my posts at “Conspiracy central index” and “conspiracy cafe.net”.
Those posts must be reviewed….to understand GLEN FINE’s testimony in front of the US Sen Jud Comm.
Those posts must be reviewed to understand WHY HEFFLEFINGER RESIGNED, WHY HEFFLEFINGER WAS CONSIDERED DISLOYAL WHICH PUT HIM ON THE RESIGNATION LIST….WHY SD US ATTY JAMES MCMAHON WAS FIRED WITH SIOUX FALLS FBI AGENTS DAN REYNALDS, DAVE HELLER, AND RAPID CITY FBI AGENT MARK VUKILICH, and MINNEAPOLIS FBI SAC DEB STREIBEL PIERCE.
ALL of the resignations resulted in an “admission by Mueller’s FBI HQ” that…”we got a potential problem in South Dakota” arising out of the Daschle Campaign Memo linking Ashcroft to the murder of Carnahan, and the use of the CALEA computerized wiretapping to “wiretap Senator Tom Daschle’s campaign” by TOBIUS, PANKRANTZ, THUNE’S CAMPAIGN STAFF, and the ubiquitous NSA 902ND COUNTERINTELLIGENCE GROUP.
Coordinate your thoughts with former SD US Atty MICHELLE TAPKEN’S FED GRAND JURY…and the obstruction of such by SD AG Larry Long who “threatened Michelle’s son” with a criminal investigation looking at The Dan Nelson Automotive loan business. This threat….stopped the Daschle wiretapping grand jury cold. Then, Bush had an Ok City Fed Judge illegally appoint STEVEN MULLINS from OK CITY DOJ as the SD US ATTY?!
Why Mullins from OK CITY?
Read my DOJ OIG Complaint…see where I was tied to Tulsa business man MARION WEBSTER, former Army General who worked with Hunt, Rodriguez, and Shackley to overthrow Arbenz in Guatemala to save the Dulles brothers investments in the banana plantations. See where I tipped off SFPD on the detenators manufactured in Canistota, SD, by engineer ALLAN DOERING, who was illegally harassed by Minneapolis FBI.
DOERING’S stepfather is former pilot ROY EHLEN, indicted with VICTOR E. STADTER in the 60’s. STADTER went onto fame as a pilot for the Bush Crime family’s drug distribution in Texas. Stadter was also famous for “piloting a helicopter into a Mexican prison” to help his pal escape in the 70’s. Stadter was protected in Texas, and the snitch who was directed to set him up by Customs, ended being maliciously prosecuted after “his cover was turned against him” despite working for the cops with immunity?!
MARION WEBSTER was (before his staged death), the brother of WILLIAM WEBSTER, former FBI Director, and then CIA Director.
William Webster is on board at Global Options inc with his intel community pals.
You lazy idiots, are missing a great story.
Don’t you know….”what the breadth and scope of the NSA TSP is and was” and can you answer the question, “….YOU DON’T SUPPOSE THE OLD COINTELPRO IS RUNNING AGAIN BEHIND THE BANNER OF NATIONAL SECURITY AND THE NSA TSP?!”
What happens to intel community whistleblowers who “try to stop the radical right wing” when they blew up OK CITY?
Isn’t OK CITY linked to 9/11 by the hotel log book at The Terrorist Hotel on I-40? You understand that “McVeigh was seen with Iraqi intel” at the same hotel that “Atta and Moussaouii” visited in OK CITY?
Did you know that Tulsa is called “spook town” because of all the Standard Oil and CIA retired?
