The financial realities of college-age children and two decades of public service lead me to a long overdue transition in my career.

A lawyers got to do what a lawyers got to do. I guess he did not see a SCOTUS nomination in his future.

This is really good news. McNulty was Schumer's boy on the inside. McNulty was close to Comey, who appointed Fitzgerald, and close to Fitzgerald himself.

Back in March, Clarice Feldman wrote:

“Lost in the kerfuffle about the Gonzales firings of 8 US Attorneys is the fact that Chuck Schumer has a hidden agenda: acting not only as the Senator from New York but as well as the Attorney General of the U.S. He pushed for the appointment of a Special Counsel, wrote at least 2 letters to the Attorney General resquesting updates on the investigation and demanding action on the CIA referral letter respecting the public identification of Plame,. He obtained from Deputy AG Comey the promise to appoint a special counsel and looked the other way when one was appointed outside the statutory and constitutional framework for such appointments. Both Comey and Fitzgerald were well-known to him at the time having worked in the Southern District of New York.

If he succeeds in forcing Gonzales to resign , Gonzales’ Deputy will undoubtedly take over. That deputy, McNulty, like Comey and Fitzgerald, also comes from the office of the US Attorney for the Southern District of New York and is close to Schumer and his former colleage”

At justoneminute on their lastest thread, they are talking about how Schumer just got checkmated because McNulty was his boy. I also find it interesting that macranger at macsmind just posted a few days ago that his sources were saying Gonzalez and GW were taking the gloves off and prosecutions pending against donks were moving forward quickly, i.e. Jefferson and the NSA leak case where a grand jury has been seated for about a year. I wonder if that is why Rockefeller has been real quiet for some time. It is important to note, that replacing Gonzales with McNulty could have tripped those investigations up or sidelined them forever.

This would be a non-story if it weren’t for Senator Nostrils and his Committee and the scum who work for the MSM.

This guy has been on the job for SEVEN YEARS! Basically he’s been taking a pay cut all that time in order to perform a public service, and perhaps to make political connections and put it on his resume.

But probably four years would be long enough for most people. There is nothing unusual at all about his leaving.

See post #4.

Hmm. Thanks. That gives us a whole new take on it.

Good grief.

This guy should have been fired the day Bush took office, first term. He is nothing but Schumer’s spy.

WAPO has an article out today quoting Schumer where he appears pissed McNulty is resigning.

[Enterprise]

Well alrighty then - MEGA BUMP!!!!

All material from Fox News has to be excerpted. In a short article such as this one, you should remove about 1/2 of it, rather than just the signature line.

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.

Do you have a ping list? I’d really like to be able to see where this goes.

I’m just plain giddy!
