Kimba Wood was Clinton’s second attempt at appointing an Attorney general. Like his first nominee, she was dumped for illegal “nanny” problems. Janet Reno ended up with the job.

Lani Guiniere was nominated by Clinton for Assistant Attorney General in charge of the Civil Rights Division, but got dumped for being a radical and basically a complete goofball.
