Deputy AG McNulty quits Department of Justice

Dan Egan of the Washinton Post is reporting that Deputy Attorney General Paul J. McNulty has announced resignation "saying he is leaving the Justice Department later this summer to enter the private sector, officials 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." In addition to Monica Goodling and all the other familiar names in the US Attorney firing scandal, McNulty is professionally linked to Rachel Paulose, the embattled US Attorney in Minneapolis.
