Mukasey to Tout DoJ Public Corruption Efforts

Maybe it’s a coincidence. But a little more than a week after the U.S. Attorney for Los Angeles created a stir by disbanding his office’s public corruption unit, Attorney General Michael Mukasey will be giving a speech in California “to highlight the Department’s efforts to investigate and prosecute public corruption” according to a press release.

The speech, sponsored by the Commonwealth Club, will be given at the Intercontinental Hotel Grand Ballroom in San Francisco.

So if last week’s move sent a message to California politicians, it seems Mukasey is striving to send the opposite one.
