Despite questions surrounding the selection of Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) for attorney general under the new Trump administration, Bracewell’s Seth DuCharme told Bloomberg Law that the desire to serve in the Department of Justice remains.
“The challenge for them is you can’t lead the department by force of will,” said DuCharme. “You’ve got to get everybody from the line to the middle managers to the people who are leading the task forces comfortable.”
“If you say things that are too outside the norm of how the department has typically functioned, they just won’t do it,” he added. “If they take total outsiders to come in and run the department, it’s just not going to work.”
