So why removed and reappointed??
Is it because an appointment is good for 4 years? And his appointment by 0vomit would have expired in 2019? So now he is good to go until 2022?
That’s my only guess. But why would Trump not just reappointed him in 2019 if that was the issue? Is it in case he loses the Congress?

John W. Huber, the U.S. attorney in Utah, can convene a grand jury, issue subpoenas, collect evidence and order witnesses to testify — all the usual powers a federal prosecutor has — as he delves into whether the FBI abused its powers when it sought permission and then carried out wiretapping of a Trump campaign figure, or whether it trod too lightly in pursuing questions about Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.
Mr. Sessions said the facts of the FBI situation don’t yet rise to the level of demanding a special counsel, but Mr. Huber is as close as can be.
“He will have the full authority of a federal prosecutor,” said Richard Painter, former chief ethics attorney for President George W. Bush. “If he looks at this and finds someone in the DOJ lied to a government official, he would be able to convene a grand jury, compel testimony and even prosecute them.”
As is the custom, Mr. Huber submitted his resignation as U.S. attorney last March to the incoming Trump administration. Mr. Obama had appointed him to the post in 2015.
