Look at this from the LATimes, and burn this guy's name into your brain.


But in addition to Ashcroft, among the political appointees who may help decide the fate of the case is the department's new second-in-command, acting deputy Robert McCallum. He is an old friend and Yale classmate of the president's; both were members of the secret Skull & Bones Society at Yale.

McCallum replaced Larry Thompson, a respected former independent counsel who investigated alleged improprieties by officials at the Department of Housing and Urban Development during the Reagan administration. Thompson recently left the department.

Nonetheless, some legal experts said they were comfortable with the decision to keep the case in-house, so long as the attorney general and his team keep their distance.

"I believe that the career lawyers in Justice — the people who preceded John Aschroft and who will be there after he leaves — will do a nonpolitical investigation, an honest investigation," said Stephen Gillers, a legal ethics specialist at New York University Law School. "Ashcroft's sole job is to stay out of it."

Ashcroft's job is to stay out of it??? Does that mean the case falls to Skull & Boner McCallum?
