Team Mueller thought they were pulling a smart maneuver when they farmed out the Concord Management and Flynn cases to friendly local US Attorney offices--in New York and DC. This ploy was clearly intended to thwart the supervision of those cases that would result from the anticipated appointment of Bill Barr as Attorney General. The Attorney General exercises direct supervision over a Special Counsel--as we saw in Barr's handling of the Mueller Dossier--but there is little that the AG can do when local US Attorneys (presidential appointees, as I keep reminding one and all) prosecute an indictment that has been returned by a grand jury in their district. Little did Team Mueller anticipate what would happen!
