Update 1:
My, my. Less than a month before a Justice Department official told Congress that U.S. Attorney for New Mexico David Iglesisas was fired for performance concerns, the Attorney General's chief of staff told Iglesias that he could use Gonzales as a reference.
On January 10, Iglesias wrote to Kyle Sampson and asked if he could use Gonzales as a reference, since "I'll be resigning in the next month or so and am looking for a job."
Sampson responded later that day: "You can list the AG as a reference -- not a problem. Good luck!"
Sampson responded later that day: "You can list the AG as a reference -- not a problem. Good luck!"
Update 2: Breaking news: Sampson bails out on Gonzo.
