Doing Double Duty at Justice

Rosenstein, to lead criminal investigations into recent instances of possible unauthorized disclosures of classified information to the New York Times.
Conservative blogger Duane Lester noticed that Machen is an Obama donor and in fact an early one: “Machen donated $4,350 to Obama’s campaigns. He gave $250 to Obama’s U.S. Senate campaign in 2003, a year before Obama, then an Illinois state senator, emerged on the nation’s political radar, according to campaign finance records.”
As every U.S. Attorney serves at the pleasure of the president, the attorneys are already in the odd position of investigating the staff of the man who appointed them — and who can fire them. Any indictment would likely become a major issue in this year’s closely fought presidential race.
