    @SW Nope, The President appointments the U.S. Attorney General and the AG appointments the attorneys representing the U.S.

    @ SW: Well, Bob Dylan sang “The times they are a-changin’. ” Especially in these times. It’s interesting, when then President Trump replaced the U.S. Attorneys from the various states four years ago, which is normal, the national news media accused him of committing something completely unheard of.

    Since when does the US AG wear robes? And since when does the AG appoint USAs; thought that was the job of the president?
