Another Friday night news dump at DOJ.

This time, EDNY’s top prosecutor is replaced in an unusual transfer of power, and unlike his old SDNY counterpart, accepts a promotion at Main Justice.

Something to monitor. I have been writing about Donoghue and Putin's thugs in Ukraine. Wonder what is going on with this move.

Huh! Richard Donoghue from EDNY is moving to DC to be top deputy to Deputy AG Jeffrey Rosen. Donoghue is who Putin's operatives in Ukraine are convinced will take down Joe Biden and they have been feeding him lots of disinfo. This is something to watch

When a U.S. Attorney steps down, the deputy typically takes over. That's why ex-SDNY chief Geoff Berman initially refused to step down, he told Congress yesterday.

Ex-EDNY USA Richard Donoghue, apparently untroubled by the irregular protocol, let Barr's old principal associate deputy AG Seth DuCharme swap roles with him.

Here's DuCharme being sworn in by EDNY's chief judge today, courtesy of that office.

2. Just one more thing to ask him about when he doesn't show up.

This is out of control.
They need to subpoena him now.

4. You know, DuCharme would be ...

a great moniker for some new DUer.
