From the Next Hurrah:
Consider how these emails flesh out the chronology on contacts regarding Domenici and Iglesias (previously-released emails are italicized):
December 14, 2006: Email between Sampson and Goodling listing (though it is redacted) the White House's choice to replace Iglesias. Domenici is not sure of the choice.
December 19, 2006: Domenici calls McNulty; the call slip is checked off, suggesting McNulty returned the call.
December 21, 2006: Domenici Chief of Staff Steve Bell calls, first DAG McNulty, but when he learns McNulty is unavailable, he speaks to Moschella. He then calls Andrea Looney, Special Assistant to President Bush, at the White House. Emails recording these calls suggest that Bell wanted a "nonpartisan" task force on corruption. Moschella responded to that request by referring to the new USA who would be appointed.
January 8, 2007: Domenici submits four names as his choice to replace Iglesias; his top choice is either Rogers (a Republican hack instrumental in getting Iglesias fired) or Peifer.
