I think this is incorrect.  Can anyone substantiate it?

The U.S. Attorney's Office is a part of the Department of Justice.
The U.S. Attorney is an employee of the Department of Justice.

The Attorney General is in charge of the Department of Justice, but in
each Federal judicial district is a U.S. Attorney for that District
and some quantity of Assistant U.S. Attorneys (AUSAs).  All of those
people work for the Department of Justice and all of them are
prosecutors.  That doesn't mean that each one prosecutes every case.
