McNulty bails out; Gonzo's job is on a thread..

<-McNulty's resignation letter.

From the AP:
...his ultimate decision to step down, [two senior Department of Justice] aides said, was hastened by anger at being linked to the prosecutors' purge that Congress is investigating to determine if eight U.S. attorneys were fired for political reasons. The aides spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk publicly about McNulty's decision.
McNulty also irked his boss, Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, by testifying in February that at least one of the fired prosecutors was ordered to make way for a protege of Karl Rove, President Bush's chief political adviser. Gonzales, who has resisted lawmakers' calls to resign, maintains the firings were proper, and rooted in the prosecutors' lackluster performances.

Interesting McNulty gives his cites for resigning as "the financial realities of college-age children and two decades of public service." Ah, the 'I did for my children' syndrome..It's apparent to everyone why he's leaving now, why he's been rumored to be on his way out since late March and why he was looking for job.
