Monica Goodling Receives Immunity

It will be interesting just how damaging Monica Goodling's testimony will be.

Lawmakers want to question Goodling as part of an inquiry into whether the Justice Department played politics with the hiring and firing of department officials. What began as an inquiry into whether U.S. attorneys were fired for political reasons has grown to include the role of the White House in the firings and whether the Justice Department officials misled Congress about them.

Goodling's lawyer has said that, with an immunity seal, she would cooperate and testify honestly.

The cat is out of the bag about how the Justice Department handled the firings. What Goodling will be asked about is the role of Karl Rove and his staff.
