Paul Clement clerked for Justice Scalia
Think he'll sing a different tune than Gonzo? It's all smoke and mirrors, and the Gonzo resignation is an attempt by bushco to muddy the investigations.

1. He also argued most of the Admin's GWOT torture cases:
That makes him an accessory after the fact, IMHO This from his DOJ face page.

Mr. Clement joined the Department of Justice in February of 2001. Before his confirmation as Solicitor General, he served as Acting Solicitor General for nearly a year and as Principal Deputy Solicitor General. He has argued over 40 cases before the United States Supreme Court, including McConnell v. FEC, Tennessee v. Lane, Rumsfeld v. Padilla, United States v. Booker and Gonzales v. Raich. He also argued many of the key cases in the lower courts involving challenges to the President’s conduct of the war on terrorism.

He's a committed BushBot.

2. I never knew how many truly soulless men where in our government.
Good God.
