Griping About Seeking Resignations of U.S. Attorneys Really is Fake News

From the This is Becoming Ridiculous Department:

I have taken President Trump to task for an ever growing number of issues ... but that doesn't mean I've stopped calling the media and the leadership of the Democratic Party to task for manufacturing completely fake issues. (As an aside, this kind of *stuff* is one of the reasons Democrats keep losing up and down the ticket in election after election ... manufacturing issues where none exist.)

The request by Attorney General Sessions seeking the resignation of all US Attorneys ALWAYS happens at the start of EVERY new Administration.

40-some US Attorneys had not yet tendered their resignations or left office as of last week. (There are over 90 US Attorneys in the country.)

As a matter of practice, the Attorney General asked all of those who had yet to submit letters of resignation to do so now. The current Attorney General used essentially the same letter requesting these resignations as was used by Bill Clinton's Attorney General in March of 1993, at the start of that Administration. (Thanks Jim Coder for sharing this letter.) Indeed, here is the one received by the current AG when he was a US Attorney in the Bush Administration.
