Government Executive Editor in Chief Tom Shoop, along with other editors and staff correspondents, look at the federal bureaucracy from the outside in.
Politicizing Prosecutors
Now the Justice Department's inspector general and its Office of Professional Responsibility have launched an investigation into whether a former top aide to Attorney General Alberto Gonzales tried to politicize the ranks of career federal prosecutors. From today's New York Times:
The inquiry focuses on whether the former adviser, Monica Goodling, sought to determine the political affiliations of job applicants before they were hired as prosecutors â€" potentially a violation of civil service laws and a break with a tradition of nonpartisanship in the career ranks at the Justice Department.
Tom Shoop is vice president and editor in chief at Government Executive Media Group, where he oversees both print and online editorial operations. He started as associate editor of Government Executive magazine in 1989; launched the company’s flagship website, GovExec.com, in 1996; and was named editor in chief in 2007.
