Monica Goodling: Right Wing Christianity At It's lowest

Her legal experience was limited; she had graduated in 1999 from Regent University School of Law, which was founded by Pat Robertson. Deeply religious and politically conservative, Ms. Goodling seemed to believe that part of her job was to bring people with similar values into the Justice Department, several former colleagues said.

  You know what? Based on all of the investigations that are on-going with the Bush Crime cartel and the many people that have been brought in from Regent University School of Law, there is no way that you can be a Christian, much less a deeply religious one, and a conservative at the same time.

   If George Bush, Monica Goodling, and the rest of these creeps are what Christianity is about, then I would rather be a atheist or a non-believer. This group of hoods is what gives true Christians a bad name.             Times will be very interesting when Monica M. Goodling goes before the Congressional oversight committee to testify about the attorney " surge, "  especially if she is asked about her role in doing things like this:

    Two years ago, Robin C. Ashton, a seasoned criminal prosecutor at the Department of Justice, learned from her boss that a promised promotion was no longer hers.

    “You have a Monica problem,” Ms. Ashton was told, according to several Justice Department officials. Referring to Monica M. Goodling, a 31-year-old, relatively inexperienced lawyer who had only recently arrived in the office, the boss added, “She believes you’re a Democrat and doesn’t feel you can be trusted.”      NYTimes

Ms. Goodling also moved to block the hiring of prosecutors with résumés that suggested they might be Democrats, even though they were seeking posts that were supposed to be nonpartisan, two department officials said.

And she helped maintain lists of all the United States attorneys that graded their loyalty to the Bush administration, including work on past political campaigns, and noted if they were members of the Federalist Society, a conservative legal group.

  As Ms. Goodling has been granted limited immunity for her testimony, maybe she can also be granted some limited prison time for her illegal actions while at DoJ.

Oversight Committee Postpones Hearing With Rice and Tenet Over Rice's Travel Schedule

   I wish  that I could get a testimony postponed for a later date after I've been subpoena' d by the law or the government. That would be great!

From the Oversight and Government Reform Committee:

Rice Testimony Postponed
Tenet to Cooperate in Committee Investigation

WASHINGTON, DC — Today Chairman Henry A. Waxman announced that the Oversight Committee will postpone the hearing with Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice from May 15, 2007, to June 19, 2007. The hearing is being postponed to allow former CIA Director George Tenet to testify with Secretary Rice and to accommodate Secretary Rice’s travel schedule.

Mr. Tenet has agreed to cooperate with the Committee’s inquiry into whether the White House overstated Iraq’s efforts to obtain uranium from Africa and its nuclear threat in making the case for war. Mr. Tenet has agreed to provide a deposition to the Committee prior to the hearing.

The Committee also sent a letter to Stephen Hadley, the National Security Advisor, requesting his voluntary appearance at a deposition. Mr. Hadley was the Deputy National Security Advisor and Secretary Rice was the National Security Advisor when the President relied on evidence, which turned out to be false, about Iraq’s efforts to obtain uranium in his 2003 State of the Union address.

Secretary Rice refused repeated requests by Chairman Waxman to testify voluntarily before the Committee, leading the Committee to issue a subpoena for her appearance. Chairman Waxman continues to expect that she will comply with the congressional subpoena.
