A press release went out from the White House earlier this week that South Dakotans may want to pay attention to:

We’ll see how long it takes for approval, and what kind of changes it brings to South Dakota’s US Attorney’s office.
Interesting how they chose him over a career prosecutor in Mark Vargo.
I don’t believe he has any prosecution experience does he?
A selection that was entirely merit based. He will be an outstanding USA!
