For many years, the selection of U.S. attorneys was just one more sweet spoil for the party that captured the White House. It was former U.S. Sen. Peter Fitzgerald who in 2001 rebelled against that process and installed an outsider with an aggressive agenda to take on corrupt public officials. Let Lausch be the next to finish what he started. Illinois citizens will be better for it.”
