I read that normally all fed prosectors ressign with a new president, so he can appoint ones he wants. Preet Bharara did not resign and was po’ed that Trump fired him.
Huber did not resign for some reason that was benign but I can’t remember now, and Trump fired him, and then hired him back. Why, I do not know. Supposition - found out he was a good man, so re-hired him?

I like your supposition and I hope you are right. Combined with Stormys supposition that his border security politics were right, this gives me hope that the right man is on the job.
