Why he left?

Considering the controversy surrounding some of his work, some info on why he left would be useful. E.g. did he resign? I found [1] which suggested he wanted to be promoted to Assistant Attorney General but John Ashcroft blocked his promotion, but this although on PBS, appears to be coming from an individual so probably isn't a good source for a BLP. (This source [2] also mentions some problems with Ashcroft but doesn't mention why he left.) On the other hand while I don't know about the deputies, Office of Legal Counsel seems to suggest the Assistant role at least seems to change a lot anyway in recent times.

Is anyone going to add content about Yoo accusing Vindman of being a spy? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2405:4800:407F:165F:8505:10B1:7975:66A5 (talk) 01:26, 30 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

John Yoo cited as Professor at UCB since 1993: this seems wrong

John Yoo is cited in the article as being a UCB Boalt Law Professor since 1993. This seems impossible, but I can't find a definitive reference of when he was awarded this professorship. This definitive bio page cites a few facts:

  • Graduated from Yale Law School 1992
  • "clerked for Justice Clarence Thomas of the U.S. Supreme Court and Judge Laurence H. Silberman of the U.S. Court of Appeals of the D.C. Circuit" (No dates given, but usually clerkships happen right after law school
  • "general counsel of the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee from 1995-96"

With those activities and dates (and missing dates) it seems highly unlikely that John You became a professor at UCB in 1993 (when he would have been approximately 25 or 26 years old)? I would welcome any input or factual sources as to when he actually became a professor at UCB. Stevemidgley (talk) 19:01, 10 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
