A senior Justice Department official has resigned in connection with the investigation of lobbyist Jack Abramoff, according to a McClatchy report.
"Making the situation more awkward for the embattled Department, the official, Robert E. Coughlin II, was deputy chief of staff for the criminal division, which is overseeing the Department’s probe of Abramoff," says the report. "He stepped down effective April 6 as investigators in Coughlin’s own division ratcheted up their investigation of lobbyist Kevin Ring, Coughlin’s long-time friend and a key associate of Abramoff."

And a Deputy Secretary of State bails out from his job after getting caught being a gentleman caller.
Deputy Secretary of State Randall Tobias submitted his resignation Friday, one day after confirming to ABC News that he had been a customer of a Washington escort service, ABC News and the Associated Press report.
UPDATE: Tobias was a strong proponent of the Bush administration’s abstinence-only policies. Before touring African countries for an AIDS program 2004, he said, “The message to young people in the schools is not either ‘Be abstinent or here are condoms, take your pick.’ It is a message of ‘Be abstinent.’ Delaying sexual activity is a means of eliminating the risk of infection.”
The Adminstration sure have more perverts, morons, sex addicts, pediphilers, and so on than in prison.

This happened the 6th? Why are we just now hearing about it???
Good question, Jan.
And it took 3 weeks to report that the Deputy Secretary of State is bailing out from his job because was a client of an escort service? There is more to this story. There is a big difference between an escort service than an escort service for male prostitutes or female prostitutes. And to say that there was no sex involved sounds like he was escorting a lady to a prom! I am sure we will hear more about this official and how quietly he resigned without media coverage for 3 weeks.
