Unnamed U.S. Attorney (S01E14 — drug‑kingpin conviction)

An unnamed United States Attorney operating within the Department of Justice who secured a high‑profile drug‑kingpin conviction under the 1988 statute later folded into the 1994 omnibus crime bill. Embedded in federal prosecutorial machinery, this attorney pursues aggressive narcotics enforcement through statute‑driven strategies that produce consequential legal records and deadlines. The conviction and its procedural finality force executive actors to confront the collision between federal sentencing mechanics and presidential clemency, making the prosecutor’s choices a catalytic political and moral pressure point.
