And it doesn't stop there
More from the party of moral values --
The former federal prosecutor in Maryland said Monday that he was forced out in early 2005 because of political pressure stemming from public corruption investigations involving associates of the state’s Republican governor.

“There was direct pressure not to pursue these investigations,” said the former prosecutor, Thomas DiBiagio. “The practical impact was to intimidate my office and shut down the investigations.”

Mr. DiBiagio had never publicly discussed the reasons behind his departure. But he agreed to an interview with the New York Times because he said he was concerned about what he saw as similarities with the recent firings of eight United States attorneys.
