7. Adams was attracting attention even in his Bushie days in 2007

There was a McClatchy story that discussed his conflict of interest that was posted here at DU several times. The original link doesn't work any more, but the story can be found through Google Groups: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/alt.politics/siqkH1lcw4E

Here's one of the DU posts from that time:

In his day job, Christian Adams writes legal briefs for the voting rights section of the Justice Department, a job that requires a nonpartisan approach.

Off the clock, Adams belongs to the Republican National Lawyers Association, a group that trains hundreds of Republican lawyers to monitor elections and pushes for confirmation of conservative nominees for federal judgeships.

Vice President Dick Cheney credited the 3,000-member association in 2005 with helping the Republicans win the previous two presidential elections. Last year, President Bush's political adviser Karl Rove shared with the group his insights on winning elections in key battleground states. At a conference the association organized last month, speakers called the controversy over whether eight U.S. attorneys had been fired for partisan political reasons "farcical" and "ridiculous."
