That took long enough. How long have we been waiting for a U.S. Attorney in Colorado? One of the very first posts on Colorado Pols, back in December 2004, predicted that Eid would be named U.S. Attorney. It just took the White House 18 MONTHS to get around to doing it.
From the Rocky Mountain News:
President Bush has picked Troy Eid, a former legal counsel to Gov. Bill Owens, to be the next U.S. Attorney for Colorado, the state’s two U.S. Senate offices confirmed today.
The Department of Justice notified Sen. Wayne Allard, R-Loveland, and Sen. Ken Salazar, D-Denver, today that Eid has been picked to fill a vacancy that has been left open since John Suthers left the job in December 2004 to become state attorney general.
Eid, whose wife Allison Eid recently took a seat on the Colorado Supreme Court, had been rumored to be the leading candidate since March, when Eid told the Rocky Mountain News he was suspending his campaign to join the University of Colorado Board of Regents.
“The Department of Justice called us today to let us know the president will be sending Troy Eid’s nomination for Colorado U.S. attorney to the Senate today or Monday,” said Salazar spokesman Drew Nannis.

Pols got this one right.
Hey is Jack Abramoff ging to be able to make it to the swearing in of his pal Troy Eid?
Just about anybody would be better than John Suthers……
Why is John Suthers not investigating Trailhead….oh right, they put him into office!
So now we have a US attorney who’ll be there until Bush gets impeached?
If the Dems take both houses, I hope this fellow keeps his bags partially packed.
Maybe he’ll help Holtzman out with a voting rights acted based suit. 🙂
Go to 7-11 or the grocery store and read Beauprez’s profile by Susan Greene. Here’s how it reads in the Post, “The Russian Connection. Beauprez took a $21,000 trip to Israel to speak out against the U.N. The foundation of a “reputed mobster” paid for it.” The story goes on to say, “According to the FBI and Interpol reports quoted in Fortune magazine and elsewhere, Cherney – A.K.A. Mikhail Chernoy – took over much of Russia’s aluminum industry through alleged embezzlement, money laundering, and murder. The Center for Public Integrity calls him a вЂreputed mobster’ targeted in investigations throughout much of Western Europe, Russia, Israel, and the U.S…”
Good grief. I hope the Senate rejects this reject.
