David Iglesias Speaks

David Iglesias, the former New Mexico U.S. Attorney at the heart of the Justice Department scandal that rocked the Bush administration has two new gigs, according to New Mexico Independent: signing books and slamming fellow Republicans who he says improperly pressured him over a corruption investigation involving state Democratic officials. In an appearance at an Albuquerque bookstore, Iglesias ripped both retiring U.S. Senator Pete Domenici and aspiring senator Rep. Heather Wilson, who is running for Domenici's seat.

"I mean, elected officials have no business, zero business, in attempting to influence the timing of indictments or finding out about the content of sealed indictments," Iglesias said.

Iglesias, a Republican, added he would not vote for Wilson.
