Here's what Bushite Republican senator Orrin Hatch said about Carol Lam, who, again, was appointed by President Bush in 2002:
She's a former law professor; no prosecutorial experience; and the former campaign manager in Southern California for Clinton.
. . .
And here (top item) is a (cached) Associated press bio on Carol Lam:
NAME: Carol Chien-Hua Lam
BIRTH DATE-AGE: June 26, 1959; 47
EDUCATION: Yale University; Stanford Law School
CAREER: Assistant U.S. attorney in San Diego, 1986-2000; San Diego Superior Court judge, 2000-02; U.S. attorney in San Diego, 2002-February 2007; legal counsel for San Diego-based Qualcomm Inc., February 2007-present.
Hard to see where she could have fit in a stint on the Clinton campaign.
Waiting for Hatch's retraction/apology/"clarification."
Josh Marshall has the full quote from Hatch.

Lam spent fourteen years as an assistant US attorney in San Diego and "has no prosecutorial experience"? I suppose her entire tenure was devoted to contract law and probate?
Hatch is blowing smoke, trying to shore up the preznit. Lord knows why -- maybe he really does want to be AG. Would at least get him out of the Senate, but then, he might do more damage in the administration.
And Lam was never a law professor.
