Bradley Joseph Schlozman (born February 6, 1971) is an American attorney who served as acting head of the Civil Rights Division of the United States Department of Justice under Attorney General Alberto Gonzales. 〔Washingtonmonthly.com, May 7, 2007, Political Animal by Steve Benen.()〕 A member of the Republican Party, Schlozman was appointed by Gonzales as the interim U.S. Attorney for the Western District of Missouri, replacing Todd Graves, and he assumed that office on March 23, 2006.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Biography of Bradley Schlozman )〕 In April 2007, Schlozman left the U.S. Attorney position to work at the Executive Office for United States Attorneys. Schlozman and his office came under review by Congressional and Senate investigators regarding the dismissal of U.S. Attorneys and alleged inappropriate politicization of the Civil Rights Division.〔On Jan. 13, 2009, a report by the Department of Justice alleged that Schlozman repeatedly () violated federal law in politicizing the Civil Rights Division. (Letter from Sen. Patrick Leahy to Bradley Schlozman ), May 7, 2007〕 The Department of Justice Inspector General and the Office of Professional Responsibility alleged that Schlozman had violated the law and made false statements to Congress about his hiring decisions. While Schlozman testified to the Senate Judiciary Committee that his personnel decisions were not based on party affiliation, the report cited emails and other communications in which Schlozman discussed hiring "right-thinking Americans" and ridding the Civil Rights Division of "pinkos", "commies", and attorneys perceived to be unacceptably liberal. Federal prosecutors, however, declined to file charges of criminal perjury against Schlozman, drawing criticism from Senate Democrats. Schlozman resigned from the Department of Justice on August 17, 2007,〔〔 〕 and accepted a position with the Hinkle Law Firm in Wichita, Kansas.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url = http://www.hinklaw.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=113&Itemid=130 )〕 ==Education, early career, and family== A native of Overland Park, Kansas, Schlozman served a two-year federal judicial clerkship with Chief U.S. District Judge G.

In 1999, Schlozman moved to Washington, D.C., where he joined the Supreme Court and Appellate Litigation Practice at Howrey, Simon, Arnold & White, before moving on to the Department of Justice in November 2001.
