Former White House Liason To The Justice Department, Monica Goodling, Testifies

I am watching Monica Goodling to testify. The first question ... who ordered you to place the names of the 9 USA's on the list of USA's that were fired this year. She took the fifth first off, and then Conyers read her the immunity authority.

Monica makes a statement. She claims she never spoke to Karl Rove regarding the replacement plan for USA's. Claims she really does not know why the USA's were on the list. (cough, bullshit, cough). She is admitting to the use of partisan politics in the hiring of personnel.

So, why did she need the immunity? Perhaps because the partisan politics in hiring in her position is a federal offense.

UPDATE:

You know, it is curious. These questions are pretty straightforward, but no one is able to answer them. Lawmakers asked Kyle Sampson about who drew up the list of U.S. Attorneys to be fired and how those names got on the list. Dunno, he said. They asked Alberto Gonzales. Beats me, he said. They asked Paul McNulty. Ask everybody else, he said. They asked Monica Goodling. Ask anybody else, she said.

As Kevin put it, “Goodling is now the latest high-ranking DOJ official to say that, really, she has no idea why those U.S. Attorneys were fired last year, or who made the choices. The list appeared, somehow, but apparently not from any human hand. It’s a miracle!”
