United States Attorney General

Description

The United States Attorney General seizes command of federal justice's razor edge, appointing Special Prosecutor Clement Rollins to spearhead Docket CRSP 00101's grand jury assault. Rollins invokes this authority in strident introduction, unleashing subpoenas that claw testimony and documents from President Josiah Bartlet, First Lady Abigail, daughters Elizabeth, Eleanor, and Zoey, plus aides Leo McGarry, Josh Lyman, C.J. Cregg, Sam Seaborn, and Toby Ziegler—shattering White House defenses amid MS cover-up fury, backchannel pleas from Oliver Babish ricochet off unyielding resolve, propelling the administration into subpoena hellfire and privilege crucibles.
