Sen. Mary Landrieu to recommend Jim Letten for U.S. Attorney
Posted by Kevin Allman on Mon, Apr 27, 2009 at 7:18 PM
Sources in Baton Rouge confirm U.S. Sen Mary Landrieu will recommend U.S. Attorney Jim Letten this afternoon.
Edited to add: Landrieu will also nominate Michael Bagneris as district judge to replace Stanwood DuVal, and Lt. Col. Genny May of the Louisiana State Police as the first woman U.S. marshal from Louisiana.

Fantastic choice as he has been GREAT for this city and has MUCH NEEDED guts to go after anyone

I like it, but I still have reservations. The candidates I heard as possible replacements were all good. Letten has one mark on his record: not chasing down the Canal Street Brothel case. It's pretty widely speculated that he shut the investigation down early (under pressure) after he caught too many movers and shakers on the Madam's list. That's one reason why Vitter is so happy to see the guy who covered his tracks stay in place. You could make an argument that it's the same sort of relationship between Eddie Jordan and William Jefferson.
EDDIE JORDAN, ANOTHER EMPTY SUIT UNDER A BIG HAT. A CLASSIC EXAMPLE OF THE " PETER PRINCIPLE." I HOPE THAT LETTEN STAYS ON OFFENSE, AND PUTS AWAY A WHOLE BUNCH OF CROOKED JUDGES AND POLITICIANS. AFTER N.O. IS CLEANED UP. LETTEN, IF HE'S NOT TOO OLD BY THEN, HE CAN MOVE HIS INVESTIGATIONS TO JEFF. PARISH. IN JEFF. HE WILL FIND MORE THAN ENOUGH WORK. OUR PARISH IS RUN BY THE FLOOD GUY. YOU KNOW, ALIBABA AND HIS 40 THIEVES. FROM THE PARISH PRESIDENT TO THE DOG CATCHER, THEY ALL GOTTA GO."
