Whakaotihia te rerenga e whai ake nei: I te pōtitanga o te Perehitini o Barack Obama, i tūmanakohia kia whakakapia a Eid hei U.S. Attorney, pera me te tikanga ki te huringa o nga tari perehitini. I te 7 o Hanuere 2009, i kii a Eid ka whakarere ia hei U.S. Attorney i te 19 o Hanuere, i te ra i mua o te peresideni a Barack Obama
te whakarewatanga, me te rere mo te Kaitohutohu Matua o Colorado i te tau 2010. I whai a Eid ki te whakakii i te tuunga e whakaarohia ana e John W. Suthers, e whakamahere ana ki te rere mo te kawana, mo te US Senate ranei. Heoi, i muri tata mai i te wehenga o Eid, i kii a Suthers ka tono ia kia tohua ano hei kaitohutohu ture nui, kaua ki te tu mo te tari teitei ake. Hei whakautu, ka whakarerea e Eid nga mahere ki te rere mo te kaitohutohu nui, e whakaahua ana i a Suthers hei hoa tata ki a ia, me te kii, "Ko te wero i a John ehara i te waahanga o taku whārite". I hoki mai a Eid ki te umanga motuhake a Greenberg Traurig, i mahi ai ia mai i te 2003 ki te 2006.
