From a reader at DOJ (who always disputed the idea there was a “morale crisis” in the first place):

Jonah,
So, according to the WaPo this morning, Mukasey’s confirmation is in some serious doubt. Putting aside all the talk about him once being a “consensus” nominee and how Schumer will have lots of egg to clean off his face, I find it highly amusing that there is no longer any talk of the “morale crisis” at DOJ. I was under the impression that unless a new AG was installed immediately, the entire DOJ would suffer irreparable harm. What, all of the sudden we’re all smiles and high spirits?
