Oh, This Will Be Good (Maybe)

From MSNBC:

A House committee voted Wednesday to grant immunity to Monica Goodling, a key aide to Attorney General Alberto Gonzales during the firings of eight U.S. attorneys. She had refused to testify, invoking her Fifth Amendment rights against self-incrimination.

The 32-6 vote by the House Judiciary Committee surpassed the two-thirds majority required to grant a witness immunity from prosecution. A separate vote to authorize a subpoena for Goodling passed by voice vote. * * *

I would have been happy merely watching Goodling repeatedly take the Fifth, but now it looks like we'll get much more than that.

I think that Goodling had a lot more involvement in PurgeGate than Gonzales did -- after all, Goodling was the Justice Department's liaison to the White House, and it is clear that the White House (i.e., Karl Rove) was calling the shots with regard to this particular scandal. Of course, she is a former Bush Administration official, which probably means she is an accomplished liar, but maybe her Christian faith will overcome her desire to lie.

Oh wait -- forget what I just wrote. Goodling, it turns out, is a graduate of Regent University, which was founded by Pat Robertson. She'll lie her ass off.
