Using executive authority, Attorney General Jeff Sessions has tapped 17 current and former federal prosecutors to lead U.S. attorneys' offices across the country on an interim basis.
Sessions had to make the move quickly to beat a deadline; after President Trump fired dozens of lead federal prosecutors last March, he had 300 days to fill the positions. With Sessions making the temporary appointments, Trump now has 120 days to submit to the Senate his nominations for permanent candidates. If he misses the deadline, a federal court in each district will make an interim appointment until the White House and lawmakers can agree on nominees.

Good man :)
A list of names and places would be helpful.
Yup.
Trump doesn’t miss deadlines. It’s the rest of this lousy, stinking, mostly unconstitutional federal government that does.
They better be fair and impartial. No more one sided ones!
It was given in last nights article Not sure of title.
On the surface this sounds great, and it may be, but given that Sessions is a long time swamp dweller and in the past year has done absolutely NOTHING about the corruption and deep state within the DOJ, I'm more than a little dubious about this.
It’s about time ,,, thanks ,,,,,
Well, GOOD MORNING, Sunshine!
Way too slow. He should of had a list of replacements the day he stepped in the door.
Why does the article say he is “using executive authority” to do this? What other kind of authority does he have?
He only had to hit Sessions with a defibrillator 3 times to get him to sign it.
“Charge to 250! CLEAR !!

Only 3 times? Man, that was quick!
Fixed it. States the facts without insinuating disrespect for the Attorney General.
Looks like he could use some prayers.
Good point. Thanks for mentioning it....I always forget to pray for him.
