Not clear what this means. But it’s the Gonzales DOJ so … well, just read (from McClatchy) …
A senior Justice Department official has resigned after coming under scrutiny in the Departmentâs expanding investigation of convicted super-lobbyist Jack Abramoff, according to a Justice Department official with knowledge of the case.
Making the situation more awkward for the embattled Department, the official, Robert E. Coughlin II, was deputy chief of staff for the criminal division, which is overseeing the Departmentâs probe of Abramoff.
He stepped down effective April 6 as investigators in Coughlinâs own division ratcheted up their investigation of lobbyist Kevin Ring, Coughlinâs long-time friend and a key associate of Abramoff.
