CREW files bar complaints against former loyal Bushies at DOJ.

Last month, the Justice Department’s inspector general released a report finding that former Bush DOJ officials Esther Slater McDonald and Michael J. Elston “broke civil service laws by rejecting scores of young applicants who had links to Democrats or liberal organizations.” Today, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington filed bar complaints against the two lawyers, arguing that their actions violated bar rules against engaging in conduct involving dishonesty and conduct that “seriously interferes with the administration of justice.”
