Conyers wants new hearing with McNulty, Moschella(letter to Gonzales)

[cal04]

Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers (D-MI) has written Alberto Gonzales, formally requesting new hearings with Deputy Attorney General Paul McNulty and Principal Associate Deputy Attorney General William Moschella:

Although we had requested informally that these officials testify even before yesterday’s hearing, the testimony of Monica Goodling has made it even more imperative that we hear from Mr. McNulty and Mr. Moschella about concerns that they testified falsely about the 2006 dismissal of U.S. Attorneys.

Further Questions for McNulty and Moschella
Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers sent the following letter to Attorney General Gonzales formally requesting that Deputy Attorney General McNulty and Principal Associate Deputy Attorney General Moschella be made available promptly for questioning by the Committee, particularly in light of the testimony this week by Monica Goodling:

The Honorable Alberto R. Gonzales
Attorney General of the United States
U.S. Department of Justice
Washington, D.C. 20530

Dear Mr. Attorney General:

Pursuant to previous conversations and requests from my staff, I am writing to formally request that you make available for testimony both Deputy Attorney General Paul McNulty and Principal Associate Deputy Attorney General William Moschella. Although we had requested informally that these officials testify even before yesterday’s hearing, the testimony of Monica Goodling has made it even more imperative that we hear from Mr. McNulty and Mr. Moschella about concerns that they testified falsely about the 2006 dismissal of U.S. Attorneys. We have appreciated their participation in staff interviews on these subjects, but particularly in light of yesterday’s testimony by Ms. Goodling, their testimony before the Committee is clearly necessary.

Sincerely,

John Conyers, Jr.
Chairman

3. Maybe this is a stupid question but I have to ask-

Is Monica Goodling going to testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee?

4. 'nother question - didn't Mcnulty quit?

So why does Gonzalez have to give permission?
