Welcome
to
our
daily
feature,
Quote
of
the
Day.
The
people
of
New
Jersey
deserve
a
US
Attorney
that
has
deep
experience
with
law
enforcement,
a
reputation
and
an
approach
that
puts
partisanship
to
the
side,
and
who
will
work
to
keep
our
communities
safe
and
impartially
pursue
justice.
In
her
short
tenure
as
interim
US
Attorney,
she
has
degraded
the
office
and
pursued
frivolous
and
politically
motivated
prosecutions.
It’s
clear
that
Alina
Habba
does
not
meet
the
standard
to
serve
the
people
of
New
Jersey.
—
A
statement
offered
by
Senators
Cory
Booker
and
Andy
Kim
(D-NJ),
in
response
to
Donald
Trump’s
decision
to
nominate
Alina
Habba,
who
has
served
as
interim
U.S.
Attorney
for
the
District
of
New
Jersey
for
several
months,
to
a
four-year
term
in
the
role.
