“The Report leaves some important questions unanswered and recommends
that I appoint an attorney to assess the facts uncovered, to conduct
further investigation as needed, and ultimately to determine whether any
prosecutable offense was committed with regard to the removal of a U.S.
Attorney or the testimony of any witness related to the U.S. Attorney
removals. In the normal course, a report recommending further
investigation would not be released until after the investigation and
any resulting prosecution had been completed, for fear that disclosing
publicly relevant facts and witness statements would hinder the
investigation or prosecution. In this instance, the Offices of
Inspector General and Professional Responsibility have made the judgment
that the circumstances warrant a departure from this usual practice.
“The Justice Department has an obligation to the American people to
pursue this case wherever the facts and the law require. This
investigation would ordinarily be conducted under the supervision of
either the United States Attorney for the District of Columbia or a
Department component. However, the United States Attorney’s Office for
the District of Columbia has been recused from the matter, and I have
determined that, given the nature of the matter, it would be best
overseen by an attorney outside Main Justice.
“Therefore, I have asked Nora Dannehy to exercise the authority of the
United States Attorney for the District of Columbia for purposes of this
matter. In that capacity, Ms. Dannehy will report to me through the
Deputy Attorney General. Ms. Dannehy is a well-respected and
experienced career prosecutor who has conducted or supervised a wide
range of investigations and prosecutions during her lengthy career, and
I am grateful to her for her willingness to serve in this capacity.
“This Report describes a disappointing episode in the history of the
Department. What should not be lost in this are the efforts of the
dedicated and hard-working employees of the Justice Department who are
focused on what they do best, which is protecting our country and
faithfully enforcing our laws."
