@Oboe,

I consider it a benefit to DC that the US Attorney serves as the local prosecutor. Imagine the added cost to the DC budget if DC had to support that function alone. Not to mention that it would have to seek its funding from a mayor and council members, half of whom are currently under investigation.

There's another point to consider about the US Attorney's office serving as local prosecutor. Because of the experience offered (and perceived prestige), USA offices are more successful in recruiting top talent than many local district attorney offices (the Manhattan DA office probably being an exception).
