WASHINGTON, May 23 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The following is being
issued by the U.S. Department of Justice:

"After several hours of testimony by Monica Goodling; more than 6,800
pages and an additional 1,500 pages made available to Congress; two
extensive public hearings with the Attorney General; and many hours of
interviews and testimony from senior Department of Justice officials, it
remains clear that the Attorney General did not ask for the resignation of
any individual in order to interfere with or influence a particular
prosecution for partisan political gain.

"Ms. Goodling's testimony today about asking political questions on
applicants for career positions is troubling. This matter is the subject of
an ongoing investigation by the Justice Department's Office of Inspector
General and the Office of Professional Responsibility and we cannot comment
further."

DoJ states Gonzo did nothing wrong, now go away. Anything Monica may have mistakenly said will be reviewed by our guys. Again, go away.

1. I applaud your summary.

Concise, right to the point, and quite complete in spite of being several times shorter.
