But I didn't mean to." Didn't <em>mean</em> to? What the hell <em>did</em> she mean to do, if it wasn't commit the acts that violated the law. That's all that is required - you don't have to "intend" to violate the law! Who gave her the job, what were her duties - exactly - and who trained her? She didn't just develop these protocols by accident, for God's sake. This explains the demand for immunity. Her testimony is ridiculous - why did she think they wanted law school grads in these positions if it was not to have someone who <em>knew</em> where the lines were and <em>knew</em> to avoid them. Didn't <em>mean</em> to, indeed. “I believe I crossed the lines. But I didn’t mean to.”

I believe that her innocence is genuine and she actually thinks Al Gonzales is a "nice man." I even believe her story about being frightened when Gonzales tried to "refresh" her memory so that they would all be telling the same story to congress. Given that Monica broke the Hatch Act repeatedly as a condition of working with the nice ma, she is lucky to have been granted immunity from prosecution. Monica impressed me.

But GOD sees what you do:

How you LIE, STEAL and MURDER people for you own gain (OIL, etc.).

And you do it in the name of the Almighty God (DOLLAR to YOU).

God will NOT forget the SLAUGHTER of his children, and SUBHUMAN animals like YOU, Bush, Cheney, Gonzo, Rummy are GOING DOWN.

This time, to ETERNAL DAMNATION.

Not down on “Jeff Gannon” and Ken Mehlman.
