Another Bush nominee downed by corruption/Abramoff

Haven't covered this guy, Timothy Flannigan, much, there's been sooo much else going on.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 7 - President Bush's pick for the second-ranking position at the Justice Department abruptly withdrew his nomination today after facing weeks of questions over his ties to the lobbyist Jack Abramoff and his role in formulating torture policies, officials said.

Or Maybe it was this....

Senators made clear they planned to question him about his role in setting the administration's detainee interrogation policy when he worked at the White House during Bush's first term.
