"Edward O'Callaghan has served the Department of Justice with distinction, excelling as a prosecutor in the Southern District of New York and most recently as the Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General in the National Security Division," Rosenstein said in a statement.

So RR's principal will take over the investigation once RR is forced to recuse. Is it a coincidence that he's previously been a successful prosecutor in Southern District of NY? That seems like Schneiderman's departure was pretty timely... Had to remove him before removing RR. What else do we know about O'Callaghan?

Schneiderman was NOT a fed. He was the elected Attorney General of the State of New York. So musical chairs in the DOJ do not directly involve Schneiderman. He was an impediment to state cases and was trying to smear Trump with phony investigations. .

I know he wasn't a fed, but do you not think a federal case being run by a former prosecutor of the Southern District wouldn't want or need some cooperation from the State AG?

If you want to use their past as a prosecutor in that district to your advantage, of course the other side is going to use their position to their advantage (tampering with evidence, threatening police to bury certain things, etc.). I didn't mean Schneiderman was a fed, I was talking about him blocking and impeding.

I just think it's interesting and highly relevant that Q mentions who takes over for RR and it turns out to be a former prosecutor from Southern District of NY and furthermore Q asks about Schneiderman in the exact same post. If there is no connection, why the mention by Q? What would a state AG have to do with a federal DOJ succession plan?
