The other Monica, no cigar needed.
Monica Goodling, the former Director of Public Affairs for the United States Department of Justice, testified before congress yesterday. She was one of AG’s closest employees as the liaison to the Whitehouse. Monica 33, is a 1999 graduate of Regent University…AKA Pat Robertson’s college.
A little background on Regent university. Regent Law was ranked in Tier 4 by U.S. News, the lowest ranking and essentially a tie for 136th place out of 170 schools surveyed. A Regent web page claimed that 150 graduates have served in the George W. Bush administration since he took office in 2001. The Bush administration purposely stacked the decks with evangelical Christians (yes men) to further there agenda…. Instead of, you know, picking the most competent people.
Anyways. What did full immunity from prosecution get the congress? A lot.
First of all she admitted that she “may have made inappropriate political considerations”. When asked if they were illegal she admitted she ‘Crossed the Line’ of the civil service laws rules. But if it was illegal she didn’t mean to.
Secondly, when she requested a transfer directly from Gonzales he tried to get their stories straight. He tried to review his version of the firings with her DURING THE PROBE. That’s called “Coaching a likely witness” and could be ground for Obstruction of Justice.
“It made me a little uncomfortable,” Monica Goodling, Gonzales’ former White House liaison, said of her conversation with the attorney general just before she took a leave of absence in March. “I just did not know if it was appropriate for us to both be discussing our recollections of what had happened.”
Without missing a beat, Sens. Chuck Schumer (D-NY), Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), and Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) announced The Senate’s no-confidence vote on Attorney General Alberto Gonzales will be held in mid-June.
Everyday the evidence piles up to Impeach Gonzales. Everyday someone from his own DOJ is making the case for Impeachment AND possible criminal charges stronger and stronger. Once again if you haven’t signed the petition, do it now! Over 56,000 strong!

It’s funny how you two are NOT addressing the issues. You are glossing over the meat and attacking the veggies.
What did he link to, what evidence did he quote that was not true? That’s how you win an argument

I am all for a true discussion of the facts. The facts are Alberto Gonzales has not protected the constitution, he has bent and broken it. The DOJ was not created to be a political wing of the executive branch. it is not supposed to be the personal group of lawyers for the President. It’s supposed to uphold the law of the USA.
I encourage disscusion and look forward to rational arguments.
