Rachel Paulose is one of the premier sluts of DOJ and she’d be on the first page if a calendar titled “Sluts of DOJ” were published. She’s not Mary Magdalene.

Rachel Paulose Plays Seven Victim Cards Trying to Save her Fucked Up Job>

Presumably embattled Scott Bloch’s office at Special Counsel has not concluded their investigation of Paulose. Paulose is sucking up your tax money at Main Justice and Mukasey and his homeboys at the Bing are impeding the investigation of Paulose.

Bloch’s Letter to Moooooooookasey on Paulose Investigation Obstruction

Nov. 19 was also the day that Paulose suddenly announced her resignation from the Minnesota job, to take a job with main Justice in Washington. It isn’t clear whether the two events on the same day were related or coincidental. Paulose resigned as several of the top managers of the Minnesota office were meeting to discuss a group resignation, and that has previously been assumed to be the development that pushed her to resign. The clouds over Paulose’s tenure in Minneapolis had grown quite dark and I had speculated a month earlier that she was entering her final days in the job. So it’s hard to say whether the OSC’s finding of “substantial likelihood” was a factor in her decision to leave.

If Paulose had not taken another federal job, as counselor to the assistant attorney general for the Office of Legal Policy, the issue might have been dropped. But as long as she remained a federal employee, the investigation stayed alive, with the possibility that a negative finding would lead to Paulose being suspended, fired and/or barred from future federal employment.Referring to the pushback he has received from Mukasey’s subordinates, Bloch asks: “Are you requesting I report to the president that you refuse to investigate disclosures made by a career federal prosecutor, and employee of your agency? [This is a reference Marti.] That you demand that I reconsider my statutorily authorized substantial likelihood finding and rescind my referral because it is the opinion of your Associate Deputy Attorney General that there has been no gross mismanagement? That you demand that I report back to this career federal employee, a recipient of the Attorney General’s award, who has courageously come forward to report wrongdoing?”

Bloch adds that he is “gravely concerned that the attorney general is asking a presidentially-appointed official [that would be Bloch himself] to disregard his statutory duty.”

As noted above, Bloch does not come into the matter of improper personnel practices with a clean reputation himself. He stands accused of several serious improprieties, including several of the kind that the OSC investigates. The Government Accountability Project, Project on Government Oversight, and the Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility have formally complained that Bloch retaliated against whistleblowers in his office. Bloch has been under investigation by the Office of Personnel Management for two years. In November, the same month that Paulose resigned, it was revealed that Bloch had used private specialists to erase from his office computer documents sought by investigators.

As I also mentioned above, Bloch’s letter to Mukasey is not all about Paulose. He also expresses frustration with a lack of cooperation into investigations of David Iglesias and other U.S. attorneys who were forced to resign in 2007 and expressed some suspicion that Justice is trying to run out the clock until “the last months of the administration when there is little hope of any corrective measures or discipline possible.”

Note Yoda David Margolis’ pushback at Bloch when he tries to go after Paulose.

But the thing is–since way back when (sorry can’t think of the case or time)–the burden of guilt has been put onto the victim, in this case.

Proving libel or slander is no longer on the party doing the accusing, but on the accused.

Not only the Goodling cases, but Chiara’s cases, as well…this has that air of she’s-pissed-someone-off in a prior case, or a current one…and this is how they get her out of the way.

I haven’t gotten this nailed for certain, but it looks like Goodling handled zero cases while her body occupied space at the EDVa. The Rocket Docket jockeys weren’t dumb enough to feed her to get her ass pounded in a courtroom. She was a glorified office hack.

And don’t nobody never be pickin’ on Messiah College in the epicenter of bitter people with their religion and their guns and booze to while the night away.

‘Cause these are the facts:

2007
Monica Goodling I Can’t Defend

Goodling is [now 35]. She graduated from a small evangelical Christian college in Pennsylvania in 1995 — at the age of 22.

She then attended a law school that is part of Regent University, created by Pat Robertson. Presumably she enrolled in 1995 and graduated in 1998. But when she resigned today from the Justice Dept., it ended her five year stint there. That means she began working there no later than 2002 — only 4 years after graduating from law school — when she was only 28. I haven’t found any info on what employment she had been 1998 and 2001 — although I did find a reference to her working for the GOP National Committee leading up to the 2000 election.

This year the incoming class at Regent was only 161 students. I imagine it was somewhat smaller a decade ago when she enrolled. That’s pretty small.

More troubling is the fact that the 156 of the 161 students in this year’s class scored between the 25th and 75th percentile on the LSAT — hardly the cream of the crop.

Goodling didn’t start at Regent Law School — she spent one year at American University Law School in DC, but while American is an OK school, its certainly not a top tier school.

And, in looking briefly through the faculty of Regent, I’d estimate that one in five are Regent Law School grads, so there is not a lot of intellectual diversity. You also see a lot of faculty members with theological backgrounds, and you see a lot of small Christian undergrad schools listed among the undergraduate institutions attended by the current law school attendees. So, its an institution that caters to a particular pool of applicants, not simply the best possible candidates for admission.

It appears that Goodling rode into the Dept. as part of AG Ashcroft’s “staff of faith”, starting in the Public Affairs unit, and then moving up until she landed on the AG Ashcroft’s staff, where she remained after Gonzales took over.

Frankly, the description of her involvement in assisting in the selection of US Attorneys who should go/stay (reports have her involved in looking into Iglesias’ shortcomings, while defending the US Attorney for the WDNC, saying “there are others who should go first”) really trouble me. She’s just not someone who I think by background or experience should be making any judgments about the performance of US Attorneys around the country. She has no experience as a prosecutor — or any litigating job in DOJ. She is the embodiment of the term “political hack”, and she was given the opportunity to have substantive input on the job performance of prosecutors who would run her over in court.

Its also curious that she has retained John Dowd of Akin Gump to represent her. He only costs about a million dollars an hour. I don’t expect that Goodling was making much more than $100,000 a year, so someone else is picking up Dowd’s fees.

While I’m happy to post this information, it appears that it overstates her employment there somewhat. There is a WaPo profile of her — which she declined to provide info for – saying she received her JD from Regent in 1999, and went to work for the RNC after graduating. She later moved to the DOJ Press Office. Dan Corrallo, the head of the Press Office under Ashcroft confirmed this in another article I read. This article also says she spent 6 months in the US Attorney’s Office for the EDVA as a Special Assistant US Attorney. That would be a temporary position, and could be for any number of tasks. It appears that she was in the Executive Office of US Attorneys for at time before that, which is the administrative arm of the US Attorneys, so I don’t suspect she went to the EDVA as a prosecutor.

Pelosi needs to brush up on her semantics. I couldn’t agree more that she is obsessed with power and $3000 suits and $700 shoesies and the need for someone to teach her basic makeup skills. She meant to say not that she “works across the aisle” but that she bends over consistently across the aisle or she rolls over and pees on her belly accross the aisle. I could get better leadership than Pelosi and Hoyer from the back of a fast food restaurant placing them in the House, and I mean that literally.

The other women you named or on a far different and better planet than Nancy Pelosi.

on bending, twisting and shaping. Add inflaming
