Thing about the Prez being able to treat US attorneys as his sole perogative.

any way:

"Specter added that he only looked into how the provision was altered
after Feinstein told him about it. As he explained, "I then contacted
my very able chief counsel, Michael O'Neill, to find out exactly what had
happened. And Mr. O'Neill advised me that the requested change had come
from the Department of Justice, that it had been handled by Brett Tolman,
who is now the U.S. attorney for Utah, and that the change had been
requested by the Department of Justice because there had been difficulty
with the replacement of a U.S. attorney in South Dakota.""

"that it had been handled by Brett Tolman, who is now the U.S.
attorney for Utah"

????

Surely that is some form of a corrupt practice?

"Pass this provision & there's monetary gain in it for you sonny
jim...."
