Am I correct to say 'whoa' to the following? I thought Sessions replacement having recused himself would be a sniveling O appointee ... but this paragraph appears to say 'not exactly so' - that while it's technically an O appointee - meaning he can't be claimed to be a Trump shill, it's one O removed because he feared him as Session's backup ... but then Trump reinstated him.

" Democrats may regret Sessions’ recusal, as his replacement is a mini-Sessions: a long-respected, a-political, highly ethical prosecutor, Dana Boente, whose reputation is well-warranted from his service at the Tax Division, and who won’t be limited by any perceived ties to Trump, given his prior appointment by Obama. Obama himself appeared scared of Boente, as he removed Boente from the successor-to-Sessions position during the lame-duck part of Obama’s presidency, but Trump restored Boente to that role earlier this month. Democrats may get the investigation they wanted, but it may be their own that end up named in the indictment."

Very interesting catch! The name Dana Boente is one to watch.
