Did he pardon himself yet?
I hear Comey made Bidens short list for AG...
I would strongly prefer he choose former long-time federal prosecutor Glenn Kirshner. He’s got a very impressive record as a prosecutor, first as a JAG in the US Army, and then for several decades with the US Department of Justice. A very smart and effective law-and-order prosecutor, right up Druff’s oft-stated position on the matter.
From the Wikipedia article on him:
Oh, and he is a staunch proponent for prosecuting political crimes.Quote:
Upon entering active duty as an Army JAG, Kirschner served his first tour at Fort Richardson (Alaska), serving as an Army prosecutor. In that capacity he investigated and prosecuted court-martial cases and served as legal advisor to the post's many commanding officers. After three years in that assignment, Kirschner was transferred to the U.S. Army's Legal Services Agency in Falls Church, Virginia, where he served as a government appellate attorney handling criminal appeals of court-martial convictions. In that assignment, Kirschner handled espionage and death penalty cases among others.
After more than six years active duty service, Kirschner was honorably discharged from the Army and, in June 1994, joined the United States Attorney for the District of Columbia office as a federal prosecutor/Assistant U.S. Attorney.[3]
After a few early rotational assignments, Kirschner joined the USAO's Homicide Section led at the time by Robert Mueller, III. Kirschner spent 24 years at the DC USAO, prosecuting lengthy RICO trials in DC Federal Court and murder/conspiracy/obstruction of justice cases in DC Superior Court. Kirschner prosecuted more than 50 murder trials, served as Deputy Chief of the Homicide Section for four years and Chief of the Homicide Section from 2004 – 2010. He retired from the DC USAO on June 1, 2018.
Kirschner received the Harold J. Sullivan Award for Fairness, Ethics and Trial Excellence in 2017 and the John F. Evans Award for Trial Excellence in 2001, both from the Assistant U.S. Attorney's Association; the John F. Evans Award for Trial Excellence the Chief of Police Medal of Honor in 2009 and 2010 from the Washington DC Metropolitan Police Department, and; was inducted as a fellow into the American College of Trial Lawyers in 2018. Notable cases include:
U.S. v. London Ford - A landmark gang case involving the District of Columbia's first urban warfare theory of homicide liability.
U.S. V. Andre Burno - Motivated by a desire to steal a police officer's Glock firearm, the defendant ambushed an on-duty police officer, shooting him in the neck. The case/defendant is the subject of an Emmy-Award-winning HBO documentary titled, “Thug Life in DC.”
U.S v. Jose Rodriguez-Cruz - In 2009, EPA employee Pam Butler disappeared. In 2016, the cold case was revived and enough evidence was developed to charge Ms. Butler's boyfriend with her murder. Although Ms. Butler's body was never found, the defendant pleaded guilty in 2017. The case is the subject of a Dateline NBC documentary set to air in November 2018.
U.S. v. Albrecht Muth - A controversial case involving a highly skilled conman in elite DC political circles who murdered his elderly, socialite wife. Kirschner tried the defendant in absentia from his hospital bed after he had starved himself into physical incapacitation. The case is the subject of a major motion picture directed by and starring Christoph Waltz titled, "Georgetown" and released in April 2019.[4]

Oh, and he’s all that keen on pardons of government employees. You know, because they encourage future government officeholders to believe they can get away with committing crimes while in office, something else I’m certain Druff would agree with.
