It's been 10 days since Jeff Sessions resigned.
< Below is a list of 7 U.S. Attorneys who released official written statements to date through their office about the departure on November 07, 2018 (in chonological order).
< The remaining 87 U.S. Attorneys did not release an official written statement through their office about the departure.
< Included quotes from each statement with similar wording as Quote-A and Quote-B, some of which are almost verbatim copies from someone else's previous release.
This might be meaningful, or not. I think it is interesting that so few made a statement and the ones that did use similar wording, but I certainly recognize one name on this list.
