Loretta Lynch (DOJ)
Attorney General Eric Holder is scheduled to attend the ceremonial investiture for the Eastern District of New York U.S. Attorney on Monday, a Justice Department spokesman told Main Justice.
Loretta E. Lynch officially was sworn in as the Brooklyn-based U.S. Attorney in May. But U.S. Attorneys typically have a ceremonial investiture later on, with local, state and federal leaders in attendance.
Lynch previously served as the district’s U.S. Attorney from 1999 to 2001. In 2005 then-New York Attorney General Eliot Spitzer (D) considered her as a running mate for governor, ultimately selecting David Paterson, who succeeded him as governor in 2008 after Spitzer became mired in scandal and resigned.
Holder has graced 14 U.S. Attorney swearing in ceremonies thus far – the most of any AG in modern memory, according to an informal survey conducted by MainJustice.com.
How about Holder attending a swearing-in ceremony for someone, ANYONE replacing Leura Canary in the Alabama Middle District, the ONLY Bush-appointed US Attorney in the 50 states slated to be replaced, but who has no one nominated or confirmed to take her position. She should have been in the first group to go. What political arrangement has been made by the Obama administration to keep her in this post?
