The DOJ’s abrupt move to remove longtime litigator James Hundley from an interim U.S. attorney role—hours after he was named—reads like more than routine personnel churn. It’s a high-voltage signal: federal prosecutorial leadership is being treated as a live wire, and the “who” matters as much as the “what.”
