Main Justice: The Curious Case of Christi McCoy
Main Justice has an article today about the Northern District U.S. Attorney position that once appeared certain to be going to Christi McCoy. Here is the article. The article does not really shed much light on the situation other than suggesting that McCoy is still a possibility for the job, which I am hearing is not the case. The article does mention that Patsy Brumfield, who originally disputed Ya'll Politics' report that McCoy would not be nominated, now admits that there are problems:
But even Brumfield, who originally refuted reports that McCoy’s candidacy had run off the rails, has concluded that “something” is amiss. But what?
The article states that Curtis Ivy is campaigning for the position and that it could still go to McCoy. It's my understanding that McCoy ran into fatal problems unrelated to Joey Langston in the screening process and is out. I also understand that Ivy is trying to get the position, but is no shoe-in at this point even though other names have not emerged.
