TLDR - took about 6 months
This sub kept me sane through this process. Just keep at it. You will get there.

This particular office asked for a cover letter and resume to be sent via email to them directly. Not uncommon for some AUSA spots. It is a much more familiar process to attorneys.

... keep reading on reddit ➡District of Columbia Attorney General Karl A. Racine, Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC) and leaders from the States United Democracy Center and the Anti-Defamation League made a major announcement today regarding the January 6 insurrection and those responsible for it.
During a press conference held at noon in the US Capitol, they announced legal action against the people who took part in the attempted overthrow of the legitimate federal government of the United States.
In the months since that attempt, at least 700 people have been formally criminally charged, and 129 have thus far plead guilty to charges in connection with that incident.
They announced that they have filed suit in US Federal District Court to take civil action against those who participated in the overthrow attempt.
Describing January 6th as a "planned terrorist attack", D.C. AG Karl Racine compared the legacy of the January 6th mob attack to the events of September 11th 2001.
This is the first civil lawsuit aimed at holding accountable the leaders and participants in the overthrow attempt.
Those named as defendants in the suit include groups such as the Proud Boys & Oath Keepers, and more than 30 of their leaders and members - for conspiracy, terrorism, assault, and hate crimes.
The Ku Klux Klan act of 1871 is one of the laws under which this suit has been filed.
Some news coverage of the lawsuit:
