Pajamas Media - Every Single One: The Politicized Hiring of Eric Holder’s Compliance Section →

August 26, 2011 - by J. Christian Adams
 
All 5 new hires to the Justice Department's Coordination and Compliance Section have far-left resumes — which were only released following a PJMedia lawsuit. (This is the seventh in a series of articles about the Justice Department's hiring practices since President Obama took office. Read parts one, two, three, four, five, and six.)

For several weeks, PJMedia has been publishing a series of articles on the ideological and partisan histories of attorney hires into the career civil service ranks of the Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Division in the Obama administration.

in this role, Warren would also serve as a special advisor to Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner. Senate approval was not needed for this appointment, though it would have been required if Obama had named Warren to be CFPB's Director; Obama was aware that the Senate was unlikely to have confirmed Warren for that post. Following Warren's appointment, Republican Congressmen Darrel Issa (CA) and Spencer Bachus (AL) sent a letter to the White House requesting more information about what they called an “unusual arrangement” that was “undermining congressional oversight.”[1]
