The Marital connection in the DOJ scandal - One in the WH, the other
in DOJ

Conyers wants to talk Michael Friedrich ( Chief of Staff and Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General, Criminal Division , United States Department of Justice ) also, former Enron Task Force prosecutor


And then there's Matthew Friedrich. He's a stumper. He hasn't really shown up on the document dumps. But I'm guessing he may be on there fore one of two reasons. He may have been involved in discussions about why various USAs weren't prosecuting the numbers and kinds of cases that AGAG wanted (including obscenity, immigration, and death penalty cases); these were used as the excuse to fire Lam, Bogden, Charlton, and Iglesias. More interesting, to me, is the allegation that Brent Wilkes' lawyer made--that DOJ demanded a number of revisions to the Kyle Foggo and Brent Wilkes indictment. That sounds like the kind of thing the AAG for the Criminal Division might have been involved in. If so, Friedrich might have a lot he could tell the Committee.

Who is married to Dabney Friedrich, who is currently listed as an Associate Counsel, White House
http://www.whitehouse.gov/government/friedrich-bio.html

and she was listed as a recipient in the emails from Kyle Sampson referencing Carol Lam (and the need to replace her quickly due to the "real problem"), Rachel Brand, Tim Griffin, Margaret Chiara and Harry "Bud" Cummings - was also noted in the email that the info was requested by Harriet Miers.

Now look where she's heading - a US District judge in DC (hmm, wonder who all is covered in this jurisdiction)

President George W. Bush is expected to nominate former White House insider Dabney Friedrich to fill the recently vacated seat on the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, two sources familiar with the process say.

And recess appointed to the US Sentencing Commission back in 2006

This happy little couple sure seems messed up in a little bit of almost all the ShrubCo scandals
