Of course.
When I was in Lukeville, our SRI successfully prosecuted 99.9% of his cases in the first year. Suddenly, the AUSA declined all his cases. He later found out that the DD told the USA to stop taking his cases. Why the USA even followed the DD’s sugjestion is beyond me, but he ordered his AUSA’s to cease and desist taking the SRI’s cases.
Success is not what management wants.
I don't blame the USA's for not taking cases. Every administraton since Eisenhower has let the problem fester. Now we have far more cases than the USA's can possibly handle. The AUSA's get crapped on just like the rest of us while their buddies in the private sector make four times what they make in salary.
