If you having already, you can read the 1993 letter Janet Reno sent on behalf of Bill Clinton to Jeff Sessions and other U.S. Attorneys appointed by George H.W. Bush and Ronald Reagan to hand in their resignations.
| 2009: Obama dumps G.W. Bush US Attorneys, no media outrage |

If you are interest in more recent history, there is 2009 when Obama dumped all George W. Bush appointed U.S. Attorneys, and the corrupt, fake news media never batted an eye about it.
President Barack Obama plans to replace a “batch” of U.S. Attorneys in the next few weeks and more prosecutors thereafter, according to Attorney General Eric Holder.
“I expect that we’ll have an announcement in the next couple of weeks with regard to our first batch of U.S attorneys,” Holder said Thursday during a House Judiciary Committee hearing which stretched out over most of the day due to breaks for members’ votes. “One of the things that we didn’t want to do was to disrupt the continuity of the offices and pull people out of positions where we thought there might be a danger that that might have on the continuity–the effectiveness of the offices.But…elections matter–it is our intention to have the U.S. Attorneys that are selected by President Obama in place as quickly as they can.”
Holder’s comments begin to resolve questions in the legal community about whether the new administration would hesitate to replace the chief prosecutors en masse because of the intense controversy that surrounded President George W. Bush’s unusual mid-term replacement of nine U.S. attorneys in late 2006. In addition, legal sources said some Bush appointees were looking to burrow in, in part to avoid a grim economic climate for private-sector legal jobs.
However, by using terms like “elections matter,” Holder seems to be signaling that Obama plans to install new leadership in most offices.
If the corrupt, fake news media didn’t have double standards, they would have no standards at all.
