The White House just hired a new chief counsel, W. Neil Eggleston<\/p>\n

It looks like Kathryn Ruemmler made the decision to leave.\u00a0 It is hardly unusually for a White House counsel to leave.\u00a0 What is unusual is to replace her with someone like W. Neil Eggleston.\u00a0 This is the kind of attorney you hire when you expect serious charges, really serious charges.<\/p>\n

The following quote from the New York Times is interesting:<\/p>\n

Her supporters and critics alike agree that Ms. Ruemmler has not pursued any policy agenda, instead limiting her role to analyzing for Mr. Obama what options would be legal and what risks they entailed.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Hmmm\u2026Ms. Ruemmler was the attorney who led the battle to withhold documents from congress.\u00a0 Key documents are finally being disclosed.\u00a0 Ms. Ruemmler may have just learned what is in those documents.\u00a0 She decides it is time to leave.\u00a0 She is replaced by one of the top criminal defense attorneys in the United States.\u00a0 Not just a criminal defense attorney, one of the attorneys who assisted in defending Bill Clinton during his impeachment trial. \u00a0He was not hired at White House counsel, he was hired as “chief counsel.” \u00a0<\/strong>Coincidence?<\/p>\n
