How do you know when a government official is a liar or would lie to investigators if placed under oath? When they plead the Fifth Amendment for protection against incriminating their self in testimony.
This is what Monica Goodling ( Attorney General Alberto Gonzales' liaison with the White House ) has said in a statement to the Senate Judiciary Committee, according to her lawyer.
John Dowd, ( Goodling lawyer ) wrote in a letter that the Senate Judiciary Committee was in effect laying a perjury trap for Goodling. The letter was addressed to Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy. Source
Leahy said "The American people are left to wonder what conduct is at the base of Ms. Goodling's concern that she may incriminate herself in connection with criminal charges if she appears before the committee under oath."
John Dowd: "It is the politically charged environment created by the members of the committee ... that has created the ambiguous and perilous environment in which even innocent witnesses would be well advised not to testify." Yahoo News
Innocent witnesses shouldn't testify? Politically charged environment?
Politically charged only because the Repugnican spin machine is placing the investigation into a " charged " atmosphere. This whole thing has nothing to do with whether they are Democrats or Republicans, it has to do with the fact that the entire Bush administration is corrupt, dishonest, and operates in all sorts of illegal manners.
Now it is time for the GOP to lay the blame, once again, on everyone else but themselves. I can't believe that they have the nerve to think that they would get away with their bullshit for all of eternity and not be held accountable for anything.
Bush having his childish temper tantrums because someone is questioning his authority is one for the books. Is he actually so stupid as to believe Cheney when he told him that this would go on with no end in sight?
The Family Values tour isn't looking so spiffy these days. All of those Christian believers up in the White House aren't looking so Christian either, as if they ever have.
Nothing but crook sand liars, who's time to face the music is coming soon in an impeachment near you!
IMPEACH! INDICT! IMPRISON!
