From My Left Wing:
David Iglesias: Yes, the U.S. Attorney, and there are only ninety-three of us, so ninety-three Federal Districts in the country, California has four Federal Districts because of its size, New Mexico has one, most states have only one or two districts. We're the chief law enforcement officials, federal officials for the state, for our districts, rather.
We enforce federal criminal law and defend the U.S. government in lawsuits filed against it. We comprise most litigation that Justice Department does nationally.
JH: Okay, and this is an appointed job. You're presidential appointees…
DI: It is. Right, you're appointed by the president, you're confirmed by the Senate, you serve typically anywhere from 4-7 years. Some people leave earlier, some people get fired, although that's relatively unusual.
And what makes this scandal so different is that large number forced to resign on the same day with no real justification, with no legal basis for that.
