This is old news, from before the weekend.
The arrogant incompetence demonstrated by the latest clusterfork, in the last two days, is even more delicious.
When she took office she suspended a bunch of deputy DAs on paid leave, pending the outcome of a witch-hunt investigation, some of whom quit to go work elsewhere, but some of whom remained, on paid leave. Between the cost of paying deputy DAs to do nothing and the cost of the outside investigative law firm, she’s blown $1.6 Million.
Meanwhile the ideological dolts she hired to replace those who were fired, driven out, or suspended, are running the office into the ground, and two more of the few remaining competent ones just resigned.
So now “Madame DA”, as she insists on being called, has been forced to bring three of the four suspended deputy DAs still on the payroll back, to bail her out, even though the witch-hunt investigations were never completed, and they continue to be under investigation.

NBC Bay Area’s Investigative Unit takes a closer look as some Alameda County deputy district attorneys were asked to come back to work while still under investigation.
