WASHINGTON — Slowly but surely, U.S. Attorneys are being confirmed.
On Tuesday, the Senate confirmed six more including Daniel Bogden, the Nevada U.S. Attorney who was fired in 2006 during the controversial purge of U.S. Attorneys who didn’t fall in line with the Bush administration’s mindset.
Other U.S. Attorneys confirmed included Steven Dettelbach for Northern Ohio; Carter Stewart for Southern Ohio; Peter Neronha for Rhode Island; Dennis Burke for Arizona, a former senior adviser for Homeland Security chief Secretary Janet Napolitano; and Neil MacBride for Northern Virginia.
