Not Trump's lawyers: Jeanine Pirro picked to keep politicizing prosecutor's office

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

50% : Trump is clearly capable of appointing U.S. attorneys who aren't pure political operators, as he did with the generally respected Jay Clayton for the Southern District of New York.
43% : It is obvious that Trump did not select her for her prosecutorial or managerial chops, but because she's a staunch defender of his on TV, the one medium where he takes most of his advice, and will pick right where Martin left off in politicizing the office.
42% : We hope that the new interim U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia, Jeanine Pirro, is the same Jeanine Pirro who ably served as a Westchester judge and district attorney for many years and not the Jeanine Pirro who is now a Fox News host aiming to please Donald Trump.
40% : In fact, Trump views the Justice Department as a tool to uplift his political agenda, undoing the dedicated work of dozens of federal agents and prosecutors with his blanket pardon of the Jan. 6 insurrectionists and punishing or firing personnel that had engaged in disfavored inquiries.
28% : The problem is that she has spent the intervening years as an increasingly strident defender not only of Trump but his political vendettas and authoritarian power grabs.
28% : Trump still thinks he is a corporate chief executive, appointing people to carry out his will and firing them when they displease him.
23% : The president's first pick to be the U.S. attorney for D.C., Ed Martin, was an unqualified wreck who was opposed by even Republican senators, causing Trump to replace him with Pirro.
