Subject: Re: another one for a lawyer
What I don't know is what happens to things signed by rank and file attorneys in the office. Can they do their jobs - file charges, make arguments, etc - if the US Atty position over them is vacant? Does the entire output of that district come to a halt, or can other attorneys do the work without a US Atty over them?

I wouldn't think so, as long as they were properly appointed/hired into their jobs, and have the proper credentials (e.g. being actual lawyers). I would assume it's just the stuff that she -herself- signs that would be voided. Probably?
