Attorney General William P. Barr Appoints Timothy Shea Interim U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia

Attorney General William P. Barr announced today the appointment of Timothy Shea as Interim U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 546, effective February 3. The Office is the largest U.S. Attorney’s Office in the country, serving as both the local and the federal prosecutor for the nation’s capital, with over 300 attorneys responsible for litigation before over 100 judges in federal and local courts.

“I am pleased to appoint Tim Shea as Interim U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia. Tim brings to this role extensive knowledge and expertise in law enforcement matters as well as an unwavering dedication to public service, reflected in his long and distinguished career in state and federal government,” said Attorney General William P. Barr. “His reputation as a fair prosecutor, skillful litigator, and excellent manager is second-to-none, and his commitment to fighting violent crime and the drug epidemic will greatly benefit the city of Washington. I would also like to express my gratitude to Jessie Liu, who has served with distinction as U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia since 2017, and has been nominated to a new role at the Department of the Treasury.”

@JustinWingerter
One of the three others indicted alongside Steve Bannon is Tim Shea, of Castle Rock, Colo.

Shea and his wife set up a Colorado P.O. box that took in millions of dollars, @9NEWS reported in 2018.



Barr's Timothy Shea seems to be strictly East Coast:

Timothy Shea is an American prosecutor who, since May 2020, has served as Acting Administrator of the Drug Enforcement Administration[1]. Previously, he was interim United States Attorney for the District of Columbia, the country's largest U.S. attorney's office;[2][3] a senior counselor to U.S. Attorney General William Barr at the Department of Justice;[3] a lobbyist; and private corporate lawyer.[4]
