The appointment of Assistant Attorney General Robert Hildum as head of the District’s juvenile justice rehabilitation agency is the latest step in the consolidation of Attorney General Peter Nickles’ power inside the Fenty administration.
According to two sources who were not cleared to publicly describe the mayor’s private discussions, Nickles has been maneuvering to have Hildum placed at the head of the Department of Youth Rehabilitation Services for the past month. The decision to remove Schindler was made within the past week, after Nickles returned from vacation, the sources said.
