You guys might remember Bradley Schlozman as the head of the DOJ's Civil Rights Division-cum-U.S. attorney in Kansas City, and then due to his work at Main Justice. Schlozman's became famous around DKos because he talked of replacing Clinton appointees with "good Americans" and keeping tabs on a lawyer who he had heard, "didn't even vote for Bush" and after his arrival in Kansas City, prosecutors filed charges agaisnt ACORN, which made democrats suspicious. In August 2007 he left justice department.

The Wall Street Journal reported today that lawyers have filed for a grand jury referral, which could lead to criminal charges, in order to investigate Schlozman's involvement in improper prosecutions during his time running the DOJ's civil-rights division in general.
