Sen. Pete Domenici isn't one of those Senate Republicans ready to toss ...

Domenici, who has served amiably with Craig for years on the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, urged a little restraint as other Republicans - including Sens. John McCain and Norm Coleman - called for Craig's resignation.

 Here's the statement Domenici's office just provided me in response to a request I put in yesterday:

“We cannot rush to judgment here," Domenici said in a statement provided to the Journal. "The action being taken by the Senate Republican leadership is a good first step toward getting the facts. It’s important that we allow the legal process to run its course and the Senate Ethics Committee to conduct a thorough and fair investigation.”

Domenici is also the target of a Senate ethics investigation related to his controversial phone call to then-U.S. Attorney David Iglesias in the fall of 2006. The committee's investigation into Domenici is moving at a snail's pace -- if at all.
