AG Sessions drops the ax on 46 Obama-appointed attorneys

Attorney General Jeff Sessions has told the remaining 46 U.S. attorneys to clear out their desks and leave the building. The move was described by the Justice Department as part of an effort to ensure a "uniform transition."

The DoJ said that some attorneys already left the department, as in prior transitions, but we can assume the media is going to attack Sessions and Trump for this horrendous cruelty. 

"The Attorney General has now asked the remaining 46 presidentially appointed U.S. Attorneys to tender their resignation," a spokeswoman said in a statement.

"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," the statement added.

It is customary, although not automatic, for the nation's 93 U.S. attorneys to leave their positions once a new president is in office. Usually, most are replaced in the first year or two.

Of course, the Democrats are attacking Sessions for giving the heave-ho to the U.S. attorneys.
