The state’s district attorneys are dropping like flies. Or so it seems.
The next thing you know Attorney General Maura Healey, the state’s chief law enforcement officer, will be handing in her resignation to devote full time to running for governor.
It won’t happen. Healey won’t resign, of course, but if she does run for governor, as expected, she will be replaced as attorney general in 2023 whether she wins or loses.
Already there are several fellow Democrats planning to run for attorney general based on Healey’s potential run for governor.
While it is not known whether Middlesex County District Attorney Marion Ryan would be interested in running, prior to Healey the previous three attorneys general all served as Middlesex County district attorney when they were elected attorney general. Middlesex is the largest county in the state.
They were Martha Coakley, Thomas Reilly and Scott Harshbarger. All also ran for governor and lost.
While there is a political shakeup taking place in Massachusetts as a result of Gov. Charlie Baker’s decision not to run for re-election, there are also big changes in the law enforcement field.
Not only will Massachusetts have a new attorney general, should Healey run for governor, it has a new Suffolk County district attorney.
Baker on Thursday appointed Kevin Hayden, 53, a former assistant district attorney, to complete the remainder of Rachael Rollins’ term. Rollins will take over as the new U.S. attorney this week.
Hardly was Rollins prepared to be sworn in, when two more of the state’s 11 district attorneys announced that they would not seek re-election in 2022.
They are Essex County District Attorney Jonathan Blodgett and Cape Cod and Islands District Attorney Michael O’Keefe.
One is a Democrat, and the other is a Republican. But because both are straight shooting, largely apolitical veteran prosecutors, it was always difficult to tell which man belonged to what party. It made no difference.
O’Keefe, 71, a highly respected prosecutor who was initially elected two decades ago after serving in the office since 1982, broke ranks with several district attorneys when he openly criticized Rollins for being a George Soros sponsored “social justice” district attorney.
Rollins came under fire when she, upon assuming the district attorney’s office, when she published a list of 15 crimes she would not prosecute. They ranged from shoplifting, receiving stolen property, resisting arrest, to drug dealing.
O’Keefe, in an op-ed piece that ran in the Boston Globe May 19, 2019, wrote, “A district attorney does not have the power to nullify an entire class of criminal conduct. That is the sole prerogative of our Legislature.
“The idea that we should exempt groups of people from having to obey the law is an insult to them and a destructive form of pandering because it suggests that these people are lesser beings than those we expect to obey the law.”
The outspoken Rollins, never one to let any criticism go unanswered, chastised the Globe for running O’Keefe’s column, even though it was an opinion piece.
Rollins, the first Black woman to be elected district attorney, held her ground since it was her right to take issue with O’Keefe. But when she brought up the race issue, saying the quoted passage was “veiled” racism, she went too far. But that is who she is.
Her free-wheeling, outspoken days may be over, though. As district attorney she could say or do just about anything she wanted. She had no boss, reported to no one and was only accountable to the voters of Suffolk County — Boston, Chelsea, Revere and Winthrop.
Being U.S. attorney is a far different deal. She is responsible for a region now, not just a county. She is not an elected official any longer. She is a federal appointee working for the U.S. Department of Justice. It is a different world from the world of politics and perceived racism.
As U.S. Attorney Rollins will be held accountable by supervisors at the Justice Department in Washington which oversees the words, actions, decisions and cases of all U.S. attorneys.
She will not be announcing crimes she will not prosecute
Free-wheeling U.S. attorneys do not last long. And Rollins has big shoes to fill. Her predecessor Andrew Lelling was an outstanding U.S. attorney.
But Rollins is smart and knows all of this. She also knows that she did not come this far just to come this far.
