Chances are that she was recommended by Norm Coleman. In the past,
administrations usually approved nominations by someone in the other
party. This was the rule, or used to be until this administration
hijacked the process for their own political purposes. George H.W. Bush
(or his Justice Department) approved for assistant US Atty. for Vermont
someone recommended by Pat Leahy.

I can find no reference anywhere to show who appointed her as Assistant
US attorney. Just because it was during the Clinton years does not mean
that the administration had anything to do with her appointment. The US
Attorneys can appoint their own assistants, as can other designated
officials.

This goes beyond incompetence and reaches towards downright lunacy.
What credentials could she possibly have had for that appointment?
