Mr. Rosen has guided numerous initiatives, including ... investigations and prosecutions of IP theft and of cyberhacking

Who's Richard Donoghue?

I expect him to be as useless as the last AG

Someone I know suggested that maybe Barr isn’t really gone. He never said he resigned. Nor did Trump. Maybe this is planned, and Rosen is needed temporarily for...militaristic legal purposes?

Donoghue, Richard

July 2020 = EDNY (Eastern District NY) Prosecutor Richard Donoghue moved by Bill Barr to DOJ to serve as Principal Associate Deputy Attorney General, or top deputy to Deputy Attorney General Jeffrey A. Rosen.

"Donoghue, seen as close to Barr, was tasked with supervising all DOJ investigations involving Ukraine in February [2020]. His office also played a major role in the federal investigation into President Trump’s inaugural committee, and oversaw cases against drug kingpin Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman and Chinese telecommunications company Huawei, among others."

well, he certainly looks like a deep stater

We need to know the real details not what his cover letter says

He is not replacement. He is only Acting AG for now.

Weak chin functionary. My first impression.
