Darin Smith, nominated for U.S. Attorney for the District of Wyoming, lacks trial experience but participated in the January 6 protest. His interim position may become permanent despite his involvement in a protest aimed at disenfranchising voters. Other nominees include Phillip Williams, who criticized federal law enforcement for prosecuting January 6 rioters, and Dan Bishop, a former congressman who was also present at the Capitol on that day. These nominations raise concerns about their qualifications and views on law enforcement.
