Upon suggestion from the Attorney General, autonomous guidance Alexia Morrison was doled out by the Special Division to research Assistant Attorney General Theodore Olson. Ms. Morrison mentioned that the Attorney General also allude her to explore Deputy Attorney General Schmults and Assistant Attorney General Dinkins. The Attorney General denied the solicitation.
