| Why would Paulose's resume to DoJ not match her Wiki entry? And why would DoJ deceive people about Paulose's work history and residency?
Paulose's resume (see DAG....411) clearly states:
United States Department of Justice (Jan 2006 to present)
Dorsey & Whitney (Oct. 2003 to Dec. 2005)
Williams and Connolly (Oct. 2002 to Oct. 2003)
At Wiki someone changed the order of her private practice and thus her residency.
She worked in private practice after 1999 at the Dorsey & Whitney law firm in Minneapolis until 2002.[3] From 2002-2006 she was a member of the Williams & Connolly law firm in Washington D.C. Her work at this firm focused on health care litigation and business.[1]
A DOJ press release continues the deception:
From 2002 to 2005, Paulose worked in private practice for law firms including Williams & Connolly in Washington, D.C., focusing primarily on business and health care litigation.
Why? |
| I can think of two reasons for deception:
1) Residency: Wiki and DoJ press release imply that Paulose was in Washington D.C. when she went to the DoJ for her 1.5 month stint for McNulty. But, an opensecrets.org run indicates that Paulose lived in Eagan, MN before she left to work for DoJ.

So the DoJ may have wanted to mislead about her residency. Did Paulose ever put her house up for sale? Did she rent an apartment in D.C.? Was she shopping for houses?
2) Suits against Dorsey & Whitney client: According to UnitedHealth:
Dorsey & Whitney LLP, a national law firm based in Minneapolis, has served as United HealthCare's outside counsel since the early 1980s.
So what do we know about UnitedHealth and lawsuits? Bloomberg reports on Nov. 3, 2006.
http://www.bloomberg...
William McGuire, chief executive officer of UnitedHealth Group Inc., may face criminal charges for reaping $333 million from stock options that might have been backdated to raise their value, say former securities regulators not involved in the case.
McGuire, 59, was ``central to'' a process that set many option dates ``at or near'' the lowest price in a quarter or year, raising his potential profit over 12 years, said a law firm retained by Minnetonka, Minnesota-based UnitedHealth, the largest U.S. health insurer. McGuire agreed to step down as CEO by Dec. 1, and resigned as chairman. The probe found that ``certain facts run contrary'' to McGuire's assertion to the law firm that the pricing dates were set in advance. The report, released Oct. 15, may expose McGuire to civil or criminal charges by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, the U.S. Department of Justice and the Minnesota Attorney General, securities lawyers said.
Dorsey & Whitney--the same firm Rachel Paulose worked for until Dec. 2005. She left Dorsey in Dec. 2005 to go to McNulty's office at DoJ in Jan. 2006. But wait, on Feb. 17, 2006 she was named the Interim USA of MN. So she went from the firm that represented UnitedHealth, to main DoJ overseeing Health Care Fraud, to Interim USA of MN overseeing prosecution of her ex-firm's client. And, all this "unforeseen" activity in a mere 1-1/2 months? And the DoJ wants us to believe that she worked for Williams & Connelly in Washington D.C. before she went to DoJ in MN? WHY? |
