That is what macranger has been reporting and he has great sources. Here is his hot off the press post -

McNulty canned at DOJ:

See what happens when you try to pull a coup “Deputy Attorney General Paul J. McNulty announced his resignation today, saying he is leaving the Justice Department later this summer to enter the private sector, officials said. McNulty announced his plans to leave in a letter to Attorney General Alberto R. Gonzales, citing the financial pressures of having children entering their college years, one official said. McNulty is the latest senior Justice official to announce his departure amid the swirl of controversy over the firings last year of nine U.S. attorneys. Three other top aides to Gonzales have quit in recent months. The removals of the prosecutors have sparked a furor in Congress over shifting explanations from Gonzales and other Justice officials. McNulty acknowledged providing inaccurate information to Congress in February about the dismissals, but blamed the errors on inadequate preparation by others more deeply involved in the removals. “It seems ironic that Paul McNulty who at least tried to level with the committee goes while Gonzales who stonewalled the committee is still in charge,” said Sen. Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.), who has asked Gonzales to resign. “This administration owes us a lot better.”

Nice try Schumer. You must be sweating bullets now, you’re golden boy got aced - the coup didn’t work. You ain’t seen nothing yet. Posted by Macranger on Monday, May 14th, 2007 at 6:25 pm.
