John Kacavas Nominated to be Next US Attorney

by: Dean Barker

Fri May 15, 2009 at 19:47:56 PM EDT
I get email from the White House:
WASHINGTON, DC - President Obama today announced his intent to nominate Preet Bharara, Tristram Coffin, Jenny Durkan, Paul Fishman, John Paul Kacavas and Joyce Vance for U.S. Attorney.

"This group of men and women have distinguished themselves as fair, tenacious and respected attorneys throughout their careers in both public and private service," President Obama said.  "They will serve their country with distinction as US Attorneys and it is my honor to nominate them for these esteemed positions."
Dean Barker :: John Kacavas Nominated to be Next US Attorney
John Paul Kacavas:  Nominee for U.S. Attorney, District of New Hampshire.

John Paul Kacavas, 48, is a partner at Kacavas Ramsdell & Howard, P.L.C.C., in Manchester, New Hampshire, a firm he co-founded in 2002.  Prior to that, he spent five years working in private practice at Wiggin & Nourie - from 2000 to 2002 and from 1990 to 1993.   From 1993 to 1998, Mr. Kacavas served as a prosecutor in the New Hampshire Attorney General's Office, eventually becoming chief of the Homicide Unit.  In 1999, he served as a trial attorney on the United States Department of Justice Campaign Finance Task Force.  Mr. Kacavas served one term as a member of the New Hampshire House of Representatives. Mr. Kacavas graduated from St. Michael's College (1983), received his Masters in International Relations from American University (1987), and his J.D. from Boston College Law School (1990).

So sorry to see Colantuono go.  NOT.

WOW! -- GREAT - John Kacavas... (4.00 / 2)
...will be fantastic, and was an excellent NH State Representative.  He's got a political future when he wants it too.  There were other great choices, but John Kacavas will make New Hampshire proud.  
This is excellent news.. (4.00 / 5)
I have known John for decades and there is no one in NH better qualified. He be terrific.

Have you told a stranger today about Bill O'Brien and his Tea Party agenda? The people of NH deserve to hear about O'Brien  and his majority committed to destroying New Hampshire and remaking it into a armed survivalist preserve.  
Two Thumbs Up! (4.00 / 3)
President Obama is nominating someone who is competent, experienced, smart, hardworking - this is excellent news!  



"When you get to the end of your rope, tie a knot and hang on."  Franklin D. Roosevelt    
Uh-Oh, We're All In Agreement (4.00 / 3)
John Kacavas is a great choice.
I was hoping the president would choose him, he's perfect for the job.
What an improvement over the super-political
rabid right winger he's replacing: Tom Colantuono!!

No'm Sayn?
Kudos to Senator Shaheen and President Obama (4.00 / 3)
Senator Shaheen recommended John to the White House. What a difference it makes to have Jeanne Shaheen in the senate and Barack Obama as President.

Kavacas to be tested immediately (0.00 / 0)
Kavacas' integrity will be tested immediately. Federal Judge Joseph Laplante has ordered an investigation of the attorney general's office for obstruction of justice in a long-standing criminal prosecution which later became a federal civil suit.  The former U.S. attorney and the present acting U.S. attorney have sat on this for two years.  We should know in a few months after his appointment if he is worthy of the praise he is receiving. For additonal info, contact davecoltin@netscape.net
Awesome pick! (4.00 / 1)
John brings an unmatched level of experience and great personal integrity to the job. This is a great appointment by President Obama.

America was not built on fear. America was built on courage, on imagination and an unbeatable determination to do the job at hand. -Harry Truman
RE:Awsome Choice!!! (0.00 / 0)
