DOJ Fridays

DOJ Fridays are the days when Justice Department officials announce that they need to spend more time with their families.

Joining the Club
Former (or soon-to-be-former) members of the Justice Department who announce their resignations on a DOJ Friday are initiated into a very selective fellowship known as the "TGIDOJF Club".

Members of this elite group include


 * William Mercer: former Acting Associate Attorney General, resigned Friday June 22, 2007
 * Michael Elston: former Chief of Staff to former Deputy Attorney General Paul McNulty, resigned Friday June 18, 2007

What This Doesn't Mean
There is absolutely no connection between "DOJ Fridays" and "Document Dump Fridays" or the habit of saving up "negative" stories to "dump" into the friday/weekend news cycle when they are least likely to be noticed by the American public.
