With the resignation of Dana Boente on Friday as U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, President Donald Trump has an opportunity to replace another Obama-era holdover in the Department of Justice line of succession. If Trump demands that the department fire Special Counsel Robert Mueller, and if enough officials resign or get fired rather than carry out his order, the decision to do so could fall to Boente’s successor.
“Interesting coincidence out of rocket docket. Boente resigning”
From AP:
“U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia Dana Boente is resigning from his post but plans to stay on until a successor is in place.
Boente, a career prosecutor who has served as acting U.S. attorney general, announced his plans Friday in an email to staff. His spokesman, Joshua Steuve, said the email does not spell out a reason for the 63-year-old’s departure.
Boente briefly served in the top spot at the Justice Department earlier this year after President Donald Trump fired Sally Yates in a dispute over the administration’s proposed travel ban.
Boente is also serving as acting assistant attorney general for national security, and will vacate that post once his successor is confirmed by the Senate.
Boente was appointed to the Virginia post by the Obama administration.”
Who is Boente? And why should we care? Connect the dots, please.
