WASHINGTON - Monica Goodling, Attorney General Alberto Gonzales' former
White House liaison, broke down in tears in a colleague's office as a furor
rose about her department's firings of eight federal prosecutors, according
to interview excerpts released Tuesday.

"'All I ever wanted to do was serve this president and this administration
and this department,'" Goodling said during a March 8 conversation, according
to Associate Deputy Attorney General David Margolis.

His account is expected to be part of a hearing Wednesday at which Goodling
is expected to testify under a grant of immunity.

"She was certainly shaken to her core," he added during the interview May 1.
"She thought her career was over, or at least her career in Justice."

If so, she was right.

1. she is refusing to turn over documents, THROW HER IN JAIL FOR CONTEMPT

[rasputin1952]

5. Yes...I agree, immunity goes out the window if she does not

come up w/the truth, and documents are part of the truth.

Should be interesting tomorrow...:)

And yes, her career is over, if there ever was one anyway...:D

[Danieljay]

2. She should, subserviant little partisan twit that she is, she just wanted to "serve the pResident"

"'All I ever wanted to do was serve this president and this administration
and this department,'"

Poor thing. Whaaa.

[Matariki]

3. Cry us a river Monica.

She should have put her desire to serve the constitution and rule of law and the American public FIRST AND FOREMOST - before her desire to serve 'this president' and 'this administration'. Especially when there were conflicts of interest.

But that's obvious isn't it?

[sinkingfeeling]

4. Well, I certainly hope her career is over!

[DearAbby]

6. Why are we coddling these people?

Slap her in irons and haul her ass off to jail for contempt of Congress and Obstruction. Of course toss in some "excuse me" and "please" and "may I's"

Why have the power of subpoenas, if we are afraid to use it with the full power it has?

[MN ChimpH8R]

7. You will note that "the American people"

are not mentioned among those she wanted to "serve."

Throw her into the fucking pokey until she produces every last document. That fifth tier so called law school you went to is not going to enhance your employment prospects even if you stay out of the slammer.

"You won't find the answer on those cheap shoes, Monica..."

[AlCzervik]

8. Well then turn of the documents you were asked for and maybe your part will

go away a lot faster, oh yeah Monica--there's no crying in corruption, it just looks pathetic, don't Duke Cunningham yourself for the rest of your life, give up the docs, change your name and start a new life somewhere.

[pnwmom]

9. Does anyone know if Goodling is testifying in public?

And on Cspan?

Or will it be behind closed doors?

[gatorboy]

10. She'll be on C-SPAN....3????

I don't even have that! :mad:

[pnwmom]

15. I don't have it either, but often you can go to

www.c-span.org

and watch cspan 3 there (in real time).

[mmonk]

11. Ride on down to hell with them, Monica.

[Warren DeMontague]

12. "Serve this president and this administration and this department."

In that order.

[annabanana]

13. TODAY they released the story of her tears.....

Poor poor little Monica.. Thrown in front of those mean mean men..

DEAR GOD how transparent is that?

[jaxx]

14. Will she cry when she takes the 5th?

She wouldn't turn in the docs requested, I'm not so sure she'll have anything to say either.
