Pete Domenici and Heather Wilson, the New Mexico pols whose phone calls to then-U.S. Attorney David Iglesias ultimately lit the fire under Purgegate, have been laying low, but the Post has a nice takeout on how close their political relationship has been from the very beginning and remains to this day. Says Domenici's chief of staff of the role his boss had in first getting Wilson elected to Congress, "It was substantially more than an endorsement." All of which helps explain why Domenici would take such an interest in Wilson's re-election last fall, going so far as to call Iglesias to pressure him to bring corruption indictments against state Democrats before election day.
