District court judges appointed this poor excuse for a US Attorney, but lack explicit power to supervise or remove him. When you enter Congress, you should propose legislation to fix that problem. The court only appoints someone when there is vacancy created by the lack of a Senate confirmed presidential nominee. Another approach worth considering is abrogating the temporary appointments statute which has been abused by Trump and replacing it with a statute filling temporary openings with the applicable highest ranking civil servant. Finally, grand juries indict on probable cause whereas DOJ attorneys aren’t supposed to present cases unless they believe the target is guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. This gap in standards is a source of mischief which could and should be closed by statute. You’re a talented legislator, so I hope you take these suggestions to heart.
I just wanted to let you know I really appreciate your substack comments. Keep up the good work, and I hope you continue to do substack after your successful election!
I am not an attorney but wouldn’t what Boutros did be considered jury tampering? Also, the U.S. Supreme Court needs to be expanded to 13 seats the next time Democrats have a government trifecta so that it is rigged in favor or Democracy as opposed to autocracy.

Agree 100%
I do not live in your district but support your campaign for this reason!
Keep standing up to these thugs and corrupt enablers 💪
Keep up the great writing - stories like these need to be told load and clear and often.

Yes you watched alright while your opponent in the election was getting arrested for actually trying to protect people.
Barry,
Mayor Biss was actually shoved by an ICE gangbanger on one occasion. I saw the video; he is not a coward.
