Without defending Clinton, it's not unusual for an incoming Administration to ask for the resignation of all of the sitting US Attorneys. They are political appointees, just like the Cabinet, and new Presidents tend to replace them with members of their own party. This was done at the start of Clinton's term, and most of the 93 were given a few months to complete ongoing investigations before their resignations were accepted. Some continued working for 8 months after they "resigned".
