If you want some additional insight into this move by Sessions, here are some links and facts.

1. Trump has so far proposed 65 U.S. Attorneys, of which 63 have been confirmed by the Senate. If you look at this list , you will see something interesting. None were confirmed earlier than a single name in August of last year. There were 12 in September, 10 in October, 14 in November, 5 in December, 13 in January, 6 in February, and so on. Trump personally interviewed several of them, which is very unusual .

2. The accumulated backlog of approximately 30,000 sealed indictments/motions in the PACER system began in November, and proceeded at a fairly steady pace of about 4,000 new items per month. Assume that our suspicion is correct, and these are corruption/child sex trafficking/treason/organized crime related. It follows that someone new to the system would have to be brought in for each of the 93 districts, and that until a district got its U.S. Attorney, there would be no one to direct creation of these highly sensitive items in that district, and to sign off on them. What we have seen is roughly an 8-week lag between the monthly arrival of a dozen or so new U.S. Attorneys, and the generation of several thousand sealed indictments. (We could confirm this if someone has PACER access. For example, we could check to see if the sealed items added in November were generated for the districts that got new U.S. Attorneys in September.)

3. I've been unable to get a precise count of how many federal prosecutors there are. Supposedly the largest single district has 350. However, many districts are quite small. There must be thousands of them in total, because there are 1,500 members in their professional association and they complain that lots of prosecutors haven't joined. Anyway, I think the way to read Sessions' remark about the 311 additional prosecutors is that they will be handling the more routine files that the existing staff have been forced to neglect because of the unprecedented organized-crime task they've been dealing with. You wouldn't assign a new hire to go after Al Capone.

In short, yes, this is really great news, but it is just another small milestone in a process that has been going at its best possible speed for the past 17 months. First Trump had to take office. Then he had to get Sessions confirmed. Then Sessions had to recuse himself and get Rosenstein confirmed. Then they had to work through the 93 districts and find people for them (still not done!), and then the Senate had to confirm those people, and then they had to get up to speed and start issuing the sealed indictments.

It's going to happen. The pedos are going to get taken down. But it's important to pace yourself psychologically, to understand what the obstacles are and why this has taken so long.

The Senate will skip its usual August recess, thus accelerating the potential confirmation of these new appointments: http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2018/06/05/mitch-mcconnell-cancels-senates-august-recess/

Always with the numbers....311 is a numeric way of saying KKK... Always giving the nod tipping the hat paying homage to whatever it is they think holds dominion over THEM.

Drugs....? Fuck man who cares.... Cannibals are eating our children... I think some tweaker or pothead is low priority at this point.

Feeling a little frisky tonight, so I'm going to give this our "Swamp Takedown" flair -- 'cause this is what it's gonna take to Drain the Swamp. Let's hope there are many, many more such news items in coming weeks. :-)

Great post. I take this as good news.

it better be goy prosecutors

This IS great news.

It´s so weird with these numbers. We got 311, something with 6-11, then 9-11. I read somewhere that 311 is a code for child pornography in California.

I saw this earlier today and thought this was a significant marker. That's a lot of extra prosecutors. Why does one need more prosecutors? Because they have a lot of prosecutin' to do. Prosecutors don't prosecute misdemeanors.
