WASHINGTON, Sept 20 (Reuters) - A U.S. Justice Department lawyer who once said former President Joe Biden's administration targeted her for being conservative told colleagues in an email on Saturday that she was named to replace a top prosecutor overseeing an investigation of New York Attorney General Letitia James.

In an internal email seen by Reuters, Mary "Maggie" Cleary told attorneys she had been unexpectedly tapped as acting U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, replacing Erik Siebert who resigned on Friday after President Donald Trump said he wanted him out. Cleary did not immediately respond to an email from Reuters seeking comment.

Trump administration officials previously told Siebert that the president was frustrated his office had not yet brought criminal mortgage fraud charges against James, according to two sources familiar with the matter. The office is also involved in a second probe targeting former FBI Director James Comey, who like the New York attorney general is one of Trump's political rivals. That probe is tied to the bureau's prior investigation of Trump's 2016 presidential campaign.

In the probes against both officials, Siebert had previously told officials that he did not believe the evidence was strong enough to bring charges, the sources told Reuters.

3. There is only one sheriff in town and he is it.

I was thinking there was more justice in the American frontier than we have today.

All the famous lawmen: Wild Bill Hickok, Bat Masterson, and Wyatt Earp, etc.
They brought justice to the West where there was none.

5. Interesting. Did you ever see the brilliantly conceived show, Deadwood?

Ian McShane plays the mob boss there.

It starts out wild, woolly, and extremely profane.

But slowly, as time goes by, it gets more and more
civilized.

That would be nice to see with Magats, wouldn't it?

[Irish_Dem]

6. Yes I saw some of it!

Goes to the point I am making for sure.

Justice finally came, wish we had some of that in the current US.

7. You might like to watch the last season.

Their evolution towards covilization is slow
but very satisfying,

I sure would like to see more of that here
and across the world.

8. I will put it on my winter view list.

I am very active during warm weather.
Then go into hibernation during the ice and snow months.
So I make a nice list of enticing movies and TV and work my way through
them come January.
