Good move, but not good enough.
The US Attorney in Oregon who’s prosecuted the protestors in the Oregon Standoff and was behind the rigged process used to convict four defendants on some charges yesterday, well, he was not on the list.
Billy Williams is still the US Attorney in Oregon. Williams was not asked to resign yesterday.
Dunno....I don’t see any list. ‘Remaining Obama-era USDAs...’ seems pretty clear to me (unless the guy you’re talking about is a Clinton appointee.)

Do you have a source for that?
A Clinton appointee, by the way.
Here's why he might not have been on the list:
"Sessions' request applies to presidential appointees. But Williams wasn't appointed by President Barack Obama.
He served as acting U.S. attorney after Amanda Marshall resigned amid a sexual harassment investigation. Early last year, he was appointed to the post by Chief District Judge Michael W. Mosman.
Williams, a longtime federal prosecutor, said he expects to continue to continue in the position until the confirmation of a presidential appointee."
Evidently he was promoted because of an opening.
I believe that a new U.S. Attorney will be appointed. It remains to be seen if he will be kept on staff.
The article says “all Senate confirmed US attorneys.” How are others confirmed? Williams needs to go too!
