WASHINGTON (AP) — Attorney General Jeff Sessions is seeking the resignations of 46 United States attorneys who were appointed during the prior presidential administration, the Justice Department said Friday.
Many of the federal prosecutors who were nominated by former President Barack Obama have already left their positions, but the nearly four dozen who stayed on in the first weeks of the Trump administration have been asked to leave “in order to ensure a uniform transition,” Justice Department spokeswoman Sarah Isgur Flores said.
“Until the new U.S. attorneys are confirmed, the dedicated career prosecutors in our U.S. attorney’s offices will continue the great work of the department in investigating, prosecuting and deterring the most violent offenders,” she said in a statement. read more
So that means all 57 gotta go?
That’s a slow start, now review every hire in every agency for the past several years. Remember Obama comes from the fraudulent, corrupt, ghost payroll, patronage city of Chicago.
Also look at no bid contracts, Boards, commissions and committees. They are all stacked by progressive/socialists.
Corruption is the life-line of Chicago style politics.
How else could a no-name Chicago, disbarred attorney, become a no-name state senator, then a do nothing US senator and leap into the presidency where he did all he could to damage the US?
If only the US had a professional, non-partisan FBI with integrity the job would be much easier.
Sweep for mines. I don’t put anything past these people.
As the left whines, protests, and bitches, remind them that for the first time in history, Bill Clinton fired EVERY single U S Attorney within days of taking office. The media was silent.

Yup. And one of those attorneys was Jeff Sessions.
I’m with cato – throw the bums out!!
Uh, you don’t “seek resignations”. You tell them they’re fired. Enough pussyfooting already.
And these whiny lawyers better not bitch about it.
They missed the last 8 years of economic carnage, busy undermining our Constitutional Republic.
45 is dumping 46 left from 44
Film at 11…
Janet Reno asked for all 93 resignations when Clinton took office and Hillary in an interview is quoted supporting the request as a president’s prerogative.
Like these lawyers, many, many useless bureaucrats assumed that the Hildabeast would simply be crowned queen. They made no plans for getting the boot. I hope they are all massively inconvenienced when they are kicked out. I hope housing prices in the DC area plummet and it is made into a wasteland as the leftist locust leave.
Should be hanged (ALL of em) … guess there ain’t no justice in this world …
izlamo delenda est …
Good bye and good riddance. A robot hamburger flipper just took your next job. Get in line with your hat in hand.
My friend’s son went through that in the Dallas office. Although he was a black man when the obama camp discovered he wasn’t on THEIR plantation he got the ax as well.
Should have been done Day 1, but I suppose they wanted Sessions at DoJ first.
I’m told that by “resigning” instead of being fired, they supposedly forfeit some lucrative perks.
Saves the taxpayer money and, importantly, makes it harder for them to move to another Federal job.
