You remember Monica Goodling — she was the highest ranking among the 150 the Christian Nationalist plants inside the Dept. of Justice who said she would take the Fifth instead of testifying before Congress about the firing of eight U.S. attorneys last year. Why? Because, she said, otherwise she would be forced to lie about her contacts with Karl Rove and perhaps even Pres. Bush.
Goodling would have been the first Dept. of Justice employee in the history of the republic to plead the Fifth before congress. Apparently unsure what else to do with her, the Bushies forced her to resign.
Today the House Judiciary Committee voted to issue a subpoena to Goodling, and made her an offer she could not refuse: an offer of immunity from prosecution.
