Monica Goodling, a senior Justice Department official involved in the firings of federal prosecutors, will refuse to answer questions at upcoming Senate hearings, citing Fifth Amendment protection against self-incrimination, her lawyer said Monday.
"The potential for legal jeopardy for Ms. Goodling from even her most truthful and accurate testimony under these circumstances is very real," said the lawyer, John Dowd.
"One need look no further than the recent circumstances and proceedings involving Lewis Libby," he said, a reference to the recent conviction of Vice President Dick Cheney's former chief of staff in the CIA leak case.
Am I the only one who realizes that "Scooter" Libby was found guilty of perjury because he lied?
If Monica Gooding does not want to be charged with perjury then all she has to do is to tell the damn truth! How fucking hard is that?
But if she feels she cannot tell the truth then I have to say that there is more here then meets the eye, and the Democrats better keep digging.
