15. question about GRAMMAR in the Rosenstein memo
Thu May 11, 2017, 04:25 PM
May 2017

Several times in the memo, Rosenstein refers to a single person as Attorneys General:

Judge Laurence Silberman, who served as Deputy Attorneys General under President Ford, wrote that "it is not the bureau's responsibility to opine on whether a matter should be prosecuted.

Is this grammatically correct? Or just sloppy.

Also, how is this a sentence:

Jamie Gorelick, Deputy Attorney General under President George W. Bush, to opine that the Director had "chosen personally to restrike the balance between transparency and fairness, department from the department's traditions."

Instead of "to opine", it should be "opined". Again, seems pretty sloppy for a DOJ professional.

What do you think?
