The U.S. Attorneys Controversy: What About Eumi Choi?
One of the eight fired U.S. Attorneys was Kevin Ryan, of the Northern District of California (San Francisco). As noted by the Legal Pad, his firing appears to be one of the less high-profile or controversial ones.
But it's important to us, since it raises a question about our favorite federal prosecutor:
WHAT'S GOING ON WITH THE FABULOUS EUMI CHOI?
Eumi Choi served as First Assistant U.S. Attorney under Kevin Ryan. As noted here, a previous paean to her, Choi is "a tough, smart, no-nonsense prosecutrix."
We're not the only ones wondering about Choi's fate. Again, from the Legal Pad:
What’s the deal with Eumi Choi, the No. 2 to ousted U.S. Attorney Kevin Ryan?We’re hearing that the first assistant U.S. attorney has been sent down to be a line prosecutor. Not surprising, given that a new U.S. attorney such as recently appointed interim Scott Schools usually shakes up the top, especially in an office where prosecutors have frequently complained about management.
But Choi didn’t have much to say today when asked whether her job description had changed. She said she’d talk with office spokesman Luke Macaulay about getting us an answer.
This post was from March 5, and we see no subsequent posts about Choi over at the Legal Pad. So does anyone know what Choi is up to these days?
Is it true that she has been demoted? If so, we condemn such a move. Why are people so afraid of strong leadership?
And what about Choi's search for private sector employment -- is it still ongoing? Back in January, The Recorder reported that Choi "has had her resume floating around Silicon Valley for weeks."
If you have any information about Eumi Choi and what she's up to these days, please email us. Thanks.

Any photos of Eumi?
I saw Eumi give a speech at a bar association event in San Francisco about three weeks ago. She was still employed by the USAO. Her hair is huge, like a 70's afro and all she talked about was securities litigation. The audience basically feel asleep because she gives speeches like that 70 year old law professor you hated back in the day. I would imagine working for her would not be very fun, except that you could possibly discover who her hair stylist is.
I hear her hair stylist graduated from Loyola Law School.
Rumour has it she's stepping down from her FAUSA position in the next couple of weeks.
Eumi just left the USAO for a three-month "leave of absence." Word on the street is that she is looking for a private sector position, but unfortunately most large law firms will only hire Asians as associates, not partners.
Is anyone else that stupid?
The un-ending question by the average third grader who meets this woman?
Yes indeed!
The resounding answer by same said elementary schoolgrader who rides the short bus to school upon reading the pro EC dribble offered by the cro-magnon droolers who pose as editors and posters.
