Talk:Craig Carpenito

Successor as US Attorney for SDNY
I added a "dubious" tag to the infobox claim that Craig Carpenito will succeed Berman as US Attorney for the Southern District of New York, because it is unclear whether Carpenito is legally eligible to replace Berman on an acting basis. Law professor Steve Vladeck has said: "Because Berman was appointed under 546(d), even if the President can remove him, he can only be replaced by: 1) Someone nominated by the President & confirmed by the Senate; or 2) Someone *else* appointed by judges under 546(d). Carpenito is neither of those." See also: Geoffrey Berman.

 * Barr is now saying in his letter of today that it's not Carpenito, but Berman's deputy Audrey Strauss, who will succeed him. Not sure what will happen, but apparently everyone agrees that it will not be Carpenito. 2001:1C02:2C21:3300:AC01:1D05:DF47:5DDD (talk) 19:58, 20 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Berman agrees with Barr (see his statement), Strauss will be his successor. 2001:1C02:2C21:3300:AC01:1D05:DF47:5DDD (talk) 22:11, 20 June 2020 (UTC)
