A month after dismissing federal prosecutors, Justice Department does not have any U.S. attorneys in place

By Sari Horwitz April 18 at 10:49 PM

Attorney General Jeff Sessions is making aggressive law enforcement a top priority, directing his federal prosecutors across the country to crack down on illegal immigrants and “use every tool” they have to go after violent criminals and drug traffickers.

But the attorney general does not have a single U.S. attorney in place to lead his tough-on-crime efforts across the country. Last month, Sessions abruptly told the dozens of remaining Obama administration U.S. attorneys to submit their resignations immediately — and none of them, or the 47 who had already left, have been replaced.

“We really need to work hard at that,” Sessions said when asked Tuesday about the vacancies as he opened a meeting with federal law enforcement officials. The 93 unfilled U.S. attorney positions are among the hundreds of critical Trump administration jobs that remain open.

Sessions is also without the heads of his top units, including the civil rights, criminal and national security divisions, as he tries to reshape the Justice Department.

Just was informed by reliable source, we have 100s of those positions to fill, and 128 judges. Take a deep breath, cause those new judges are going into district courts, and their is talk of expanding the 9th by 25%, changing the balance of power. All is good, give 200 days instead of 100-)

Don't get your panties in a bunch. Where there are no US Attorneys there are acting US Attorneys, most often high ranking prosecutors who might be considered for the job themselves.

Not necessarily. While US Attorneys are often replaced by the new administration, career prosecutors are not, so these could be from the Bush administration.

Stacking the court, by increasing the 9th by 25% and all filled by 1 president is unconstitutional imo and i believe this might have already been settled by the courts...???

NOTE-EDITED! Just looked it up!

I was WRONG, apparently court stacking is common practice in our system!

If they were suspected of having any loyalty to obama or democrats they had to go.

Nope, not making anything up.

Brand and Rosenstein are being held up and they are the top two officers right under Sessions who will appoint further attorneys of their choice (as long as the Trump WH team doesnt have a problem with them).

Meet the George W. Bush appointees who Trump wants at DOJ

Oh, the Senate is loaded with procedural ways of delaying a vote, byt rescheduling the vote, asking for scores of witnesses, etc.

The Senate has a bunch of archane rules like this.
