The document discusses a story about Kathryn Ruemmler, former White House counsel, who has turned down an offer to succeed Eric Holder as U.S. Attorney General. She was concerned that her experience as a close adviser to President Obama would lead to a difficult confirmation process in the current highly charged partisan environment and that it could ignite political attacks against the president. Her withdrawal leaves no obvious front-runner to replace Holder, who announced his intention to step down once a replacement is confirmed. Other candidates being considered for the position include Solicitor General Don Verrilli; Labor Secretary Tom Perez; Loretta Lynch, U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of New York; and Preet Bharara, U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York.
