Odds and Ends: Purgegate Edition

With Alberto Gonzales nailed down, this story's losing steam, but here's the latest...

Former U.S. Attorney Paul Charlton: Justice Department told me to keep my mouth shut.

Finally, a DoJ official confirmed to fired U.S. Attorney Carol Lam-- who had brought down Rep. 'Duke' Cunningham and was investigating other federal officials for corruption-- that the orders for the purge were "coming from the very highest levels of the government."
