Leahy reacts to McNulty resignation

Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) just issued this statement on the resignation of Deputy Attorney General Paul McNulty, and it's pretty clear that Leahy and the other Senate Democrats are still anxious to see Attorney General Alberto Gonzales step down:

"The American people deserve a strong and independent Department of Justice with leaders who enforce the law without fear or favor. Regrettably that is not the Justice Department we have today. Instead, we see a Department rife with scandal and another agency this Administration seeks to manipulate as a political arm of the White House. Our justice system should not be a political arm for this White House or any White House, whether occupied by a Republican or a Democrat. This is not the first resignation from the Department of those involved in the United States Attorney scandal.

We need to restore the Department of Justice to a place deserving of its name and the way we do that is get to the truth about the role the White House played in the replacement of United States Attorneys for political purposes. The Committee has made requests for cooperation from the White House and I hope the information and cooperation requested will finally be forthcoming. If the White House has done nothing improper, then they have nothing to hide. The Administration should come clean so that we can begin the process of reconstituting the leadership of the Justice Department. Then all Americans can renew their faith in its role as our leading law enforcement agency. The obligations of the Justice Department are to the Constitution, the rule of law and to the American people, not to the White House.”

Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers:

“Mr. McNulty’s resignation is a sign that top level administration at the Justice Department may be crumbling under the pressure of ongoing revelations, and what is yet to be disclosed. With this news and as we press on with our investigation, we look forward to his cooperation.”

Democratic Caucus Chairman Rahm Emanuel:

“Another resignation won’t make the unanswered questions about the fired U.S. Attorneys disappear. We continue to wait for answers: Who developed the list of the US Attorneys to be fired? How did U.S. Attorneys end up on that list? What happened to the public corruption cases those U.S. Attorneys were investigating at the time of their departures? For months, Democrats have been seeking straight answers about the prosecutor purge. Democrats will continue our aggressive investigation into this serious matter. Resignations are no substitute for the truth.”

McNulty is smarter than Gonzalez and has probably been holding Gonzalez up....

2. Ha, ha -- we've seen this smooth move before by this WH.

They throw a lower level flunkie under the bus hoping the subterfuge will make the serious charges
go away. Yet another shiny object to distract the MSM.

Go Dems.
