NEW: A Justice Department official confirms CNN report that all Trump-appointed U.S. Attorneys will be asked for their resignations, except for Delaware’s top federal prosecutor (who is overseeing the Hunter Biden probe). huffpost.com/entry/us-attor…
Durham also gets to stay on as special counsel on the Russia origins probe setup by former Attorney General William Barr, but is expected to be asked to step down at Connecticut’s U.S. Attorney.
This only applies to politically-appointed, Senate-confirmed appointees, as far as we know. So it wouldn't immediately impact the acting U.S. Attorney for D.C. (put in place during the Trump administration) who is overseeing Capitol insurrection cases. huffpost.com/entry/us-attor…
Acting Attorney General Monty Wilkinson: “We are committed to ensuring a seamless transition.”

Capitol defendant Tammy Bronsburg (AKA Tammy Butry) was arrested, processed, and released on Thursday, according to court records. Since then, she’s been posting a bunch of internet garbage and conspiracy theories on Facebook. huffpost.com/entry/trump-bu…
She does, however, appear to have cleared her prior postings, including the incriminating evidence the feds already have, from her Facebook page. huffpost.com/entry/trump-bu…
A number of these individuals like Tammy — who talks here about a vision she had about “Antifa” invading her town in tanks with Biden signs slapped on the side — are clearly in desperate need of help.
Instead, elected officials embraced their delusions in a bid to keep power.
It is remarkable how often these awful, senseless deaths of individuals who are kept locked up only because the lack a few hundred dollars in cash fly completely under the radar. Just everyday horrors. huffpost.com/entry/hampton-…
Virginia has this weird system that lets citizens initiate criminal prosecutions by going to a magistrate, who don’t even have to be lawyers or judges.
It came up a lot in Portsmouth, Virginia, over the summer, when a cop with a grudge and conservative citizens took advantage of the system go after politicians they didn’t like. huffpost.com/entry/portsmou…
