"The United States Attorney is the representative not of an ordinary party to a controversy, but of a sovereignty whose obligation to govern impartially is as compelling as its obligation to govern at all; and whose interest, therefore, in a criminal case is not that it shall win a case, but that justice shall be done."
Berger v. United States, 295 U.S. 78, 85, 55 S.Ct. 629, 633 (1935).
