You may recall shortly after inauguration day an item here about the President and his authority to replace US Attorneys around the nation. I mentioned an outstanding young man who had been elevated to US Attorney for the state of New Mexico by President Bush. I wondered if he would face the partisan ax or possibly be bypassed because he had not been a direct Bush appointee but had been the choice of a panel of federal justices in the jurisdiction to fill the chief federal prosecutor role.
Well, here's a little item that should make it a potato too hot for the Messiah to handle:
Citizen, FBI and US Attorney Net a Big Package
When the young prosecutor whom you meet in that local news video has just put the entire top level of Democratic state government into the federal penal system, it would be quite politically incorrect for the President to attempt to justify dumping him for any sort of rational cause.
I'd say his job looks safe. And I'd suggest that those planning federal crimes might think about taking their business to another jurisdiction for the next couple of years.
