Spurned U.S. Attorney Clings to Job by Being Appointed His Own Assistant
District judges recently denied John Sarcone, who was interim U.S. attorney, the permanent position. The Justice Department then gave him a special appointment so he could continue in the role.... John A. Sarcone III has been named “special attorney to the attorney general.” The appointment, the letter says, gives him the powers of a U.S. attorney, and is “indefinite.”
The move means that Mr. Sarcone is the acting U.S. attorney for the Northern District of New York, according to a spokesman for the office, as well as its first assistant. It is unclear how Mr. Sarcone could occupy two positions at once.
