U.S. Attorney Bharara agrees to stay on after Obama's term

Preet Bharara will stay on as the U.S. attorney in Manhattan next year, the prosecutor said Wednesday after a meeting with President-elect Donald Trump.
Bharara, a Democrat who has won a string of high-profile convictions for offenses ranging from insider trading to political corruption, was appointed to the job in 2009 by President Barack Obama. U.S. attorneys customarily offer letters of resignation when a new president is inaugurated, particularly if the new president is from the opposing party.
After meeting with Trump, a Republican, in his Fifth Avenue tower, Bharara, the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York, spoke with reporters.
The president-elect “asked to meet with me to discuss whether or not I’d be prepared to stay on as the United States attorney to do the work as we have done it, independently, without fear or favor, for the last seven years,” Bharara said.

all those juicy flag burning prosecutions. 
Lets face it, the chances for the average person in this country going to jail just increased about 200% under sniffles. They even gave up the fight against private prisons.
