About
The character of Susan Sawyer was a minor recurring character for Season One and Season Two of the series. She was mentioned in Season Three and Season Four, never by name only as "The Attorney General."
History
Susan is the head of the Department of Justices and oversees the U.S. Attorney's office.
She expresses her concerns to David Rosen after he arrests Hollis Doyle for election rigging. It is obvious that she is being pressured by The White House, specially, Cyrus Beene, to tread carefully with Hollis Doyle. (Truth or Consequences)
Susan is US Attorney Pat Wexler's boss and was most likely the one who had Pat fire David the second time David Rosen. (Nobody Likes Babies)
But Susan had no choice to not only take David back but was asked by the President to promote David after he turned over the Cytron card to Cyrus Beene. He was promoted from Assistant US Attorney for the District of Columbia to the US Attorney for the District of Columbia after he uncovered who the mole was. (White Hat's Back On)
