Angling for a White House Job? Probably Best Not to Talk About it

The Washington Post reports that Lisa Blue Baron, a prominent Dallas plaintiffs’ attorney, told a conference room full of people she was “so excited about” the opportunity to pursue her “dream job” as a member of Hillary Clinton’s team working to vet federal judges.

The Post called Baron to clarify what position she was interviewing for, at which point Baron said, “I met with a member of the transition team to voice my concerns about federal judicial vacancies. To the best of my knowledge, the transition team is not interviewing candidates for any positions. They have not reached out to me regarding any job opportunities.”
