Nobody is going to be shocked by this, but it’s indicative nonetheless.
One of the documents released today by the Justice Department is a chart with information on all 93 U.S. attorneys — it appears to date from early 2006. The document is broken down into two main categories: prosecution experience (years of experience in various offices) and political experience. One of the subcategories under political experience (along with years on the Hill, at the Justice Department, etc.) is whether the attorney is a member of the conservative law group, The Federalist Society.
It’s been apparent that Federalist Society membership was all but a prerequisite to work in the Bush Justice Department. But apparently it really is.
