John L. Smith seems to suggest this will not slow down the process:

"I intend to conduct the assigned investigations, and any prosecutions that may result from them, independently and in the best traditions of the Department of Justice," Smith said in a statement Friday. "The pace of the investigations will not pause or flag under my watch. I will exercise independent judgment and will move the investigations forward expeditiously and thoroughly to whatever outcome the facts and the law dictate."

To my way of thinking, DOJ needs this separate protection as the House Republicans' political conquest efforts begin in earnest now. I am not discouraged. Yet.
