Goodling testifies tomorrow. Conyers wants unredacted docs. from her.
The Chair of the House Judiciary Committee, John Conyers (D-MI), wants Monica Goodling to comply with the subpoena issued to her. She'll be testifying (with immunity) tomorrow before that committee. To Conyers, that includes unredacted documents about the firing of the U.S. Attorneys:
House Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers Jr. (D-Mich.) wants more information than Monica Goodling, a former senior aide to Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, is willing to provide when she testifies before Conyers’s panel Wednesday.
John Dowd, Goodling’s attorney, said his client refuses to hand over unredacted documents related to the firings of U.S. attorneys last year because they are official Department of Justice (DoJ) documents and she does not have the department’s permission to do so.
That response was not sufficient for Conyers, who demanded in a follow-up letter that Goodling, who has resigned in the wake of the U.S. attorney scandal, comply fully with the committee’s subpoena.


Sowing the Wind
Monica Goodling risks the unsympathetic attention of the nation, if she persists in this tactic. It will be her destruction. Dowd, if you can't open her eyes, withdraw and let someone else try.
