ABC News' Theresa Cook Reports: A top White House aide who was embroiled in the U.S. attorney firings scandal has resigned his post effective Friday, ABC News has learned.

Emails released by the Justice Department earlier this year show J. Scott Jennings, who served as a deputy to departed senior White House political advisor Karl Rove, communicated regularly with other White House and Justice Department officials regarding the dismissals of at least nine U.S. attorneys last year.

A local report from Jennings' home state of Kentucky indicates that he will leave the White House to work for a public relations firm in that state.

Jennings had appeared before the Senate Judiciary Committee in August as part of the ongoing Congressional investigation into the prosecutor firings.

3. I look at it more like

roaches scurrying after the lights come on.

Amazing isn't it? At least maybe the federal deficit will go down due to so many empty offices in the White House...

5. Sunshine is the best disinfectant

An old phrase says that when it comes to politics, sunshine is the best disinfectant.

6. Maybe his work flipping New Mexico in 2004 might make Mr. Jennings ....

.... want to find something else to do.

New Mexico went to Gore in 2000 (real close)
but went to bush in 2004. Areas that used optical
scan ballots went strongly to bush even in areas that
went strongly Gore in 2000. Hispanic voters were also
"purged" from voting lists too.
