Citing recent reports that US attorney Rachel Paulose is under investigaiton by the Office of Special Counsel for mishandling employees, Rep. Keith Ellison (D-MN) and chair of the House Judiciary Committee Rep. John Conyers (D-MI) sent a letter to the Department of Justice again asking for documents on the decision to hire her.

The letter is available here.

The former US attorney from Minnesota Tom Heffelfinger has said he voluntary resigned and did not know at the time that his name appeared on a list of potential prosecutors to be fired. Conyers and Ellison want details on how and why the very young and very conservative Paulose was picked.

Ellison and Conyers sent a letter to Alberto Gonzales back in May asking the same questions.
