Obama to nominate Machen to be District's top prosecutor [2009 -- Leaks investigator is Obama donor]
The Washington Post ^ | December 24, 2009 | Del Quentin Wilber

Machen, who lives in Silver Spring, is expected to move to the District while he holds down the job.

Over the years, he has donated $4,350 to Obama's campaigns. He gave $250 to Obama's U.S. Senate campaign in 2003, a year before Obama, then an Illinois state senator, emerged on the nation's political radar, according to campaign finance records.

The U.S. attorney job is one of the most coveted in federal law enforcement. As the District's top law enforcement official, the U.S. attorney oversees the largest federal prosecutors office in the country, with about 340 prosecutors who handle local and federal criminal cases.

The District does not have an elected local prosecutor.

The Justice Department has declined to release any details about the office's budget. Some of the nation's highest-profile crimes are handled by the District's federal prosecutors.

Obama is melting down. Even if he gets. His communist rear end re elected - a second term will be total meltdown from day 1.

This thread states he’s already holds the title US Attorney. What’s up with this?

This article is from 2009. A bit of a backgrounder.

Incidentally, this guy is Ronald C. Machen, Jr. According to OpenSecrets.org, there’s a retired gent named Ronald C. Machen, without the “Jr.”, who also donated to 0bama last year. His home is in Oak Park, IL, just outside Chicago.
