WASHINGTON — Deputy Attorney General Paul McNulty said Monday he will resign, the highest-ranking Bush administration casualty in the furor over the firing of U.S. attorneys, The Associated Press has learned.

McNulty, who has served 18 months as the Justice Department's second-in-command, announced his plans at a closed-door meeting of U.S. attorneys in San Antonio, according to two senior department aides. He said he will remain at the department until this fall or until the Senate approves a successor, the aides said.

Seems that Mr. McNulty is jumping ship over the Congressional hearings currently being held about the firings of US. Attorneys by Alberto Gonzales.

Let's see if now that he no longer holds the position if he will be a bit more apt to speak about what actually was going on during this whole mess.
