Attorney General Eric Holder appointed a lawyer in his office to lead the Justice Department’s Office of Legal Counsel, which provides advice to the President on constitutional issues and in recent years has been at the center of political fights over presidential power and national security.
Holder on Monday elevated Karl Thompson to acting assistant attorney general post. He also will serve as principal deputy assistant attorney general, which is a senior legal post in the Justice Department hierarchy.
"During his five years with the department, Karl has distinguished himself as a lawyer of unparalleled intellect and integrity,” Holder said in a statement. “His guidance has helped the department navigate some of the toughest legal challenges of this administration. I'm grateful that he has agreed to lead the Office of Legal Counsel and look forward to continuing to rely on his superb judgment as he assumes this new role."
Thompson has served in various roles at the Justice Department since 2009, much of it in OLC and more recently as counselor to Holder.
He replaces Caroline Krass, who also held the post on an acting basis and earlier this month was confirmed by the Senate as Central Intelligence Agency general counsel. The OLC post became vacant in December with the departure of Virginia Seitz.
OLC has been at the center of ideological battles since the post-9/11 controversy over the CIA’s interrogation program, which critics including Holder and President Barack Obama say included the torture of detainees accused of terrorism.
OLC memorandums during the administration of President George W. Bush approved of the use of tactics, including waterboarding, which induces the sensation of drowning, on detainees. Several of those memos were later withdrawn near the end of the Bush administration.
More recently, OLC has issued memorandums that supported Obama’s recess appointments, an issue now before the Supreme Court, and the extrajudicial killing of Anwar al Awlaki, an American Islamic cleric of Yemeni decent.
Political disputes over OLC caused the job to remain without a Senate-confirmed OLC assistant attorney general for seven years until Seitz was confirmed in 2011.
Thompson is a 1991 Harvard graduate, and holds a PhD from University of Cambridge and law degree from the University of Chicago law school.

What i do not understood is in reality how you are no longer really a lot more well-preferred than you may be right now. You're so intelligent. You already know therefore significantly in terms of this topic, made me personally believe it from so many various angles. Its like men and women aren't fascinated unless it is something to accomplish with Lady gaga! Your personal stuffs great. All the time deal with it up!

The GOP Solution: Turn all the Old, Sick, Poor, Non-white, Non-christian, Female, and Gay people into slaves. Then whip them until they are Young, Healthy, Rich, White, Christian, Male, and Straight. Or until they are dead. Then turn them into Soylent Green to feed the military during the next "unfunded/off-the-books" war. And don't forget the GOP all time favorites........TAX CUTS FOR THE RICH!!!..........and........GET RID OF SS AND MEDICARE!!!
In 50 years, I'd say you'd be right.
