Noel Francisco is acting SG and is first rate. But is he recused from this discussion because his former law firm @JonesDay filed amicus?

I've been wondering about this too. Seems unnecessary and odd. See MRPC 1.11.

doj internal policy - auto conflict on any case your former firm works on for the first year

Ah, okay. I was wondering if it was done out of an excess of caution, but that's not very... Trumpy.

@DavidLat@Assurnarsipal@cshaplaw This will come in very handy for those seeking to conflict Francisco out during the first year -
believe you can get waivers

Yes. An act that seems unnecessary, but yes. Will he now recuse "all" Jones Days cases?

My guess: not signing the brief =/= actually recusing. I bet he's still working on the cases; issue is appearances.
