Sounds like serious lawyer, but presence on Trump transition team will cause liberals to flip out.
Via NY Post:
Edward O’Callaghan, a former federal prosecutor who assisted President Trump’s transition team, is also in the running to replace ousted US Attorney Preet Bharara, sources told The Post on Sunday.
O’Callaghan, a Republican and former assistant US attorney, and Marc Mukasey are two lawyers mentioned as replacements for Bharara, who was fired by Attorney General Jeff Sessions on Saturday after he refused to step down.
His father, Michael Mukasey, was appointed the US attorney general by President George W. Bush in 2007. “Both Mukasey and O’Callaghan are serious accomplished lawyers,” one prominent defense lawyer said.
“They are not going to be political hacks for somebody, taking this job and killing an investigation that has merits. If there is a case that has merit they would pursue. If there is a case that doesn’t have merit they will not pursue it. No one is putting a hack in to run any of the US Attorney’s offices,” the lawyer said.
