Judge Noel Hillman
Former Chief of the Office of Public Integrity
Hillman was the lead Justice Department prosecutor in the Jack
Abramoff Capitol Hill lobbying scandal. The investigation into
Jack Abramoff took a surprising turn when the Justice
Department said the chief prosecutor Hillman would step down
because he had been nominated to a federal judgeship by
President Bush. This effectively ended the Abramoff
Investigation.

most controversial judicial nominees in recent memory; he
