The job of the prosecutor is to present the information they choose to the grand jury so they can determine probable cause.
In the Ferguson case they assigned a prosecutor with a long history of bias towards the police. The long rambling defense of Wilson was bizarre and only reinforced that belief.
It wouldn't surprise me if the DOJ moves to keep local prosecutors from handling cases like this to ensure the integrity of the process is maintained.
The New York announcement this week was stunning.
