Durbin: Fitzgerald will stay as prosecutor
http://www.chicagobreakingnews.com/2009/04/durbin-fitzg...

Corruption-busting prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald has agreed to stay on as U.S. attorney in Chicago, U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin said today.

"We are fortunate Patrick Fitzgerald has agreed to continue his service as U.S. attorney in the Northern District," Durbin said in a letter to Illinois congressmen.

The announcement came as no surprise, with Durbin saying last November he would recommend another term if Fitzgerald wanted it.

In nominating a U.S. attorney, the president traditionally chooses a candidate recommended by the senior senator of the president's party.
