The Rachel Pulose<\/strong><\/a> story smells like 3 day old fish. She’s the U.S. Attorney for Minnesota that was appointed in February 2006 [the one with the "Coronation"] to replace Thomas Heffelfinger who resigned abruptly. While Heffelfinger denies that he was "pushed out" of his job, there are some damning facts in the story.<\/p>\n

First, there’s the post by  Phoenix Woman<\/strong><\/a> on Firedoglake<\/strong><\/font>. Heffelfinger says he abruptly resigned for financial reasons. Yet, Phoenix Woman found out what he said about his DOJ job: "it is the world’s best job.  There’s no doubt about it, it is just a great job.  There isn’t a day here that I don’t pinch myself and say how lucky I am to get to do it twice." And then, he was out of work for three months after he resigned, before he returned to his old firm. Doesn’t sound right.<\/p>\n

\"RachelThen there’s Rachel’s story [from the Minnesota Campaign Report<\/strong><\/a>]. She was at  the Minnesota firm, Dorsey and Whitney<\/strong>, until December, 2006. Dorsey and Whitney <\/strong>represented Minnesota-based UnitedHealth<\/strong>, the largest U.S. health insurer. In December, William McGuire<\/strong><\/a> stepped down as the C.E.O. of UnitedHealth<\/strong> because there was an SEC allegation that they backdated a stock option in a $330 million deal. \"Dr.He was being investigated by the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Minnesota. So back to Rachel Paulose. She went to the DOJ in January 2006<\/strong><\/em> to work in Assistant Attorney General McNulty’s office. In February 2006<\/strong><\/em>, she’s appointed to fill Heffelfinger’s post when he suddenly resigns and Paulose becomes the U.S. Attorney for Minnesota. So in a month or two, she goes from a firm representing McGuire and UnitedHealth, to being in charge of the office investigating him!<\/strong><\/font> Also, doesn’t sound right [great blogger reporting here]. Oh yeah, her resume’s been misreported<\/strong><\/a> maybe to cover the bad smell here. <\/p>\n

I wonder if there are any Congressmen left available to look into this who aren’t already investigating something else at the Justice Department…<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
