I was looking for more on “Shelly” Snook, I found this. The rest of the story is behind the paywall. https://www.highbeam.com/doc/1P2-37348119.html
“The well-respected public face of Washington’s federal court is saying goodbye to his job of the past 12 years and leaving for a similar job at the Supreme Court.
Sheldon Snook, the longtime administrative assistant for the U.S. District Court and court liaison to the public and news media, was hailed at a farewell reception Thursday afternoon as a trusted confidante of dozens of judges and the linchpin in making the court’s high-profile trials open to the public. Among those on hand to praise his talents were numerous federal judges, court staff members, federal prosecutors, public defenders and reporters from several news organizations.”
Hmmm “LINCHPIN”. I am a little more worried about Chief Justice Roberts now.
