Monica Goodling to resign tomorrow!
Just BREAKING NEWS on CNN.


What does that mean for her testimony?

1. Man.. I can't wait to hear the "story behind the story" on this one...
Bet it also has something to do with the Minnesota AG scandal ongoing, given the replacement that has driven off so many deputies, is best buds with Goodling.

4. Even CNN said"Doesn't this make her look guilty of something?"
I don'tnecessarily agree with that statement, but it sure does look abnormal to me.

8. Eh, that's just the headline.
I'm sure the details will be more interesting.

And I agree with the poster who said this must have something to do with Rachel Paulose. The Minnesota US Attorney's office is in open mutiny right now, and Goodling was instrumental in putting Paulose into that gig.

I think the story is going to get a lot better as it drips out.

12. It's still fairly early. Maybe there will be more entertainment before
it's over.

9. Isn't it odd that she's announcing on Friday that she will resign Saturday?
Why wouldn't her attorney just make the announcement today and be done with it? Hmmmmm

7. don't worry about that little freak,
as she has a big-bucks corporate lobbying job waiting for her. If you want to know what the resignation means legally, watch the kos site for the diaries, then read the comments (where they have a lot of attorneys giving their expert opinions....if you want to, of course.) Also, www.talkleft.com will probably be issuing legal opinions, as well.

11. Actually I doubt that she will get the big $ job. If you look at her whole background,
she is singularly undistinguished, seems not very intelligent, and probably hasn't passed the bar... She seems useful only as a drone to do the dirty work assigned her by Gonzales and Rove, and take the fall for them. She's done all that and is now tainted. This is the wrong kind of "connected" to be a successful lobbyist.

13. Now she cant claim executive privledge
I hope that she gets held in contempt of Congress. She says that she doesnt want to show up for the hearing.
OOOOOOOOOOh Puhleeeze, dont show up.

14. There's nothing that says just because you quit, the subpoenas go away.
And cracks are starting to appear in her Fifth Amendment defense (I believe they're saying she'll be obligated to tell Congress about Gonzales' and other DOJ staffers' actions, but won't have to answer questions that directly incriminate herself.)

This keeps getting better!
