Now you see her, now you don't

This is the gal that gave herself a coronation party when she assumed office and then apparently began to prosecute Democrats for the fun of it. Good riddance, although who knows what kind of a mess she can make in Washington?

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Rachel Paulose, the embattled U.S. attorney for Minnesota, will be leaving the post to take a position at the Justice Department in Washington, according to a Bush administration official and congressional aide.

Both officials spoke Monday on the condition that they not be named, so as not to pre-empt the official Justice Department announcement. The Justice Department's press office did not immediately return phone messages seeking comment.

In April, three top supervisors stepped down from their management roles in Paulose's office and went back to prosecuting cases, prompting a visit from a high-ranking Justice official. That came just as Congress was investigating allegations that eight former U.S. attorneys were fired and replaced by loyalists.
