Goodling's In
It's annoying that they had to give her immunity, but it looks like Monica Goodling will testify to the House Judiciary Committee, although when is another matter:
Update: It is likely to be weeks before the committee actually gets to interview Goodling. That's because the law requires that the Justice Department be allowed an opportunity to provide its views on immunity -- i.e. whether it might interfere with an existing or possible investigation. If the DoJ objects to giving Goodling immunity, then the committee would be forced to consider whether to defer or delay conferring immunity. And regardless of what the DoJ says, the local federal court has to approve giving Goodling immunity. All this is likely to take several weeks.
Got that? The Justice Department gets to decide on whether Goodling should be granted immunity, which is the only way she'll testify. So her testimony is in the DoJ's hands.
Is there any way we can get the entire Main Justice to recuse themselves for the rest of Bush's term? Because there's a clear conflict of interest.
