Poll question: Monica Goodling resignation
I really had two questions
but alas you can't vote twice.

1. She'll reemerge in some equally destructive role in the admin
with her bank account nicely padded, I'm sure... All a desperate attempt to save Gonzo....

Boy, there must just be a killer of a story there....

2. I voted mutual also
I wonder if this was a legal defense move for immunity, although she had
a safer place to hide while still employed in the Junta.
but at the same time she was also bringing attention to Justice

I know it was mutual but not for mutual reasons
and I'm trying to see the strategies of her defense lawyers and justice..

4. Another "good" Christian jumps ship.
She lied and the lie spread. She should be charged for Perjury and still be called to testify. Rove and Miers have to be called Under Oath, in Public, as well.

3. While I voted mutual,
I think it is primarily as a result of her attorneys' advice. Their goal is to protect her interests, not anyone else in the Justice Department. However, it is in her best interests to try to avoid creating a large disruption.

6. Just a kick for more comments
the other element I hadn't put together was the Minnesota federal attorney Rachel Paulose
------------------------------------------------------

A Justice Department official in Washington is expected to return to Minneapolis next week to help run the U.S. attorney's office in Minnesota, according to an attorney with knowledge of an upheaval that led three lawyers to quit their management jobs Thursday.

The official, John Kelly, the chief of staff and a deputy director in the U.S. attorney's executive office in Washington, may wind up being tapped to be the first assistant to U.S. Attorney Rachel Paulose in Minneapolis, the attorney said Friday. ~snip~

Kelly first came to Minneapolis at Paulose's request to try to bridge the divide between Paulose and her top assistants, said the attorney, who spoke on the condition of anonymity for job protection. But they resigned later that day to return to prosecuting cases full time.

"She had briefed him that there was an uprising," the attorney said. Initially, Kelly was scheduled to have short interviews with the attorneys but the meetings went nearly two hours, the attorney said. ~snip~









who just demoted herself and worked for in the beginning...................wait for it


She was a special assistant to Attorney General Alberto Gonzales.

8. We are looking at women who blew their jobs
and their oaths to the constitution.


God, I miss the days of real blow-jobs and not metaphorical ones.
