Acting Nevada U.S. Attorney Sigal Chattah has a peculiar sense of what her job involves. It should go without saying that normally, the top federal prosecutor in the state does not try to undo the criminal convictions of people convicted in state court. Pardon Attorney Ed MartinWhat Chattah is doing here is fairly similar to what Ed Martin did in his short-lived role as interim U.S. attorney for Washington, D.C. That way she didn’t have to go before the Senate after the federal judges in New Jersey voted not to keep her. Rather than waiting for the Nevada federal judges to vote to reject her, the administration just appointed Chattah as acting U.S. attorney before her appointment as interim U.S. attorney expired.
