Goodling Testifies about Gonzales Meeting
By Paul Kiel - May 23, 2007, 4:27 PM

During her testimony, Monica Goodling testified about a meeting she had with Alberto Gonzales shortly before she left the department -- they're last meeting. Goodling dated the conversation as taking place on a Thursday or Friday the week before she went on leave for the department (March 23rd) -- so on March 14th or 15th. That was just a week after Congress requested to interview Goodling about what she knew.

Goodling's testimony is sure to lead to questions about whether Gonzales was trying to tamper with a witness of a congressional investigation.

Watch it at link~

In this private discussion with Gonzales, Goodling said she asked for a transfer out of her current position because of the scandal. Gonzales said he'd have to think about that, but then started telling Goodling what he remembered about the firing process. He then asked her if she had "any reaction" to his memory. "I didn't know that it was maybe appropriate for us to talk about that," she said, adding that it made her "uncomfortable." When Rep. Artur Davis (D-AL) asked if she thought the attorney general had been trying to shape her recollection of the firings, she said no, but then did say again that the conversation had made her feel uncomfortable.

Now, Congress had been openly investigating the firings since January. On March 8, the House Judiciary Committee requested that Goodling testify before the committee. The following week, Gonzales was comparing stories with her. That doesn't sound good.

1. I'm getting pretty gosh darned tired of your insinuations SIS
All bush appointees are christians (for christs sake as I have pointed out previously.) Therefore there is nothing untoward that they would do relative to the carrying out of their duties in this, a christian nation. As we all know, christians would never do anything criminal or of a sodomistic manner, or lie or cover up or beat their spouses or have sex with their children or dogs. Hell, one has to wonder why a christian would even need to swear to tell the truth. Hell, one has to wonder why a christian would need immunity from CRIMINAL PROSECUTION before swearing to tell the truth. It must be them damned secular damned liberals behind this waste of time. Now you just start thinking about them evil librul priorities of yours BABYLON!

3. If she was not uncomfortable about being coached to lie about
...recall, then perhaps she was uncomfortable about Gonzales's "that", whatever "that" was! Did Monica Goodling strike anybody as a person who is not at all what she appears to be?
