HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_026605.txt
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.

HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_017603.txt
This document discusses whether crime victims have rights during criminal investigations using the Crime Victims' Rights Act (CVRA) as a focal point. The issue was brought to light when the Justice Department released a memorandum stating that the CVRA does not grant any rights to crime victims until formal charges are filed, which means many crime victims may never receive their due rights in the criminal justice process. The authors argue that crime victims should have rights during investigations to ensure they are treated fairly and can participate actively in the legal proceedings. The document references a law review article by Paul G. Cassell, Nathanael J. Mitchell, and Bradley J. Edwards on this topic.
