In answering questions yesterday, Garland said that only he - as AG - could name someone as a Special Counsel. Regarding the claim that USAO for Delaware, David Weiss was denied being named a "Special Counsel" -- "He did not ask me." Seemed pretty deliberate phrasing that left…

@FXRegan No -- they report to EOUSA. The Director of EOUSA reports to the DAG. It is an odd chain of command -- the US Attorneys sit off to the side of the other litigating components of DOJ, all of whom report directly up a traditional chain to the DAG.
