MS. GOODLING: I crossed the line of the civil service rules
http://www.nytimes.com/2007/05/24/us/24mfulltext.html

REP. SCOTT: Did you break the law? Is it against the law to take those political considerations into account? You've got civil service laws. You've got obstruction of justice with any laws that you could have broken by taking political considerations into account, quote, "on some occasions."

MS. GOODLING: The best I can say is that I know I took political considerations into account on some occasions.

REP. SCOTT: Was that legal?

MS. GOODLING: Sir, I'm not able to answer that question. I know I crossed the line.

REP. SCOTT: What line -- legal?

MS. GOODLING: I crossed the line of the civil service rules.

REP. SCOTT: Rules -- laws? You crossed the line of civil service laws. Is that right?

MS. GOODLING: I believe I crossed the lines, but I didn't mean to. I mean, I -- you know, it wasn't --


What a pile of crap - she's a freaking lawyer, involved with hiring and she doesn't know it's against the law to use political considerations into account when hiring?

The she says MS. GOODLING: I crossed the line of the civil service rules. - so she acknowledges there was some level of prohibition on using politics as a criteria -- so it's ok to break the rules?

2. I do believe I would like to skip a 'friend' like this.
A mean little b====== if I must say and all done as if she is sitting in a rose garden looking sweet. At my old age I have made a point of staying away from such people, women or men. She was a good person to bring in to cut out any one they did not want as I am not sure she was all together with it but would do what was told.

3. seeking immunity
Bloomberg Press, TPM and others are reporting that Susan Ralston is now seeking immunity to testify. Former assistant to Abramoff and executive assistant (resigned) to Karl Rove, if she tells everything it could get real interesting!
