A May 18 report from the Office of Special Counsel found that General Services Administration chief Lurita Doan engaged in a “serious violation” of federal law by holding a meeting of federal employees prior to the 2006 midterms to discuss how they could “help our candidates” win the next election.
On the heels of the OSC’s finding, House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Henry Waxman called for Doan to testify again before his committee on June 7. In her first testimony before Waxman, Doan displayed a horrible memory, failing to recall anything of substance about the GSA’s political briefings except that “there were cookies on the table” at one of her meetings.
ThinkProgress recently sat down with Waxman to ask him about the investigation into Doan. Waxman told us:
The investigation is a very important one and what it has shown is so often when you press these issues to people in the administration, you find out what they had said wasn’t true. … I just think it’s worth noting when people say “I can’t remember, I don’t recall,” it usually means they don’t want to say anything because it’s going to conflict with what they had said in the past or they’re going to say something for which they may well be committing perjury.
Waxman cited Doan’s testimony as a classic example. “She said the most incredible thing — ‘Congressman, I’m just so embarrassed. I can’t remember. I suppose I was there, but I can’t remember it.’ … Well, give me a break,” he said. Watch it:
Waxman explained that “you must ask the questions” and “you must do the oversight if we’re going to keep people honest, if we’re going to provide the checks and balances that our Constitution envisions.” By pressing forward with the investigation, investigators have revealed a disturbing pattern by Doan to mislead and cover-up her true intent regarding these partisan briefings. Some examples:
– When asked by the OSC investigators about her role in the briefing, she said “she was uninterested in the topic” and “was on her Blackberry…reviewing emails…and only periodically looked up and down.” But a review of her e-mail use during the meeting failed to corroborate that she was checking or sending email via her BlackBerry.
– Doan claimed the GSA employees who spoke out about her were employees who were poor performers. The OSC investigators said that Doan’s claim regarding the witnesses “appears to have been purposefully misleading and false” since none of the seven employees had “between a poor to totally inferior performance.”
– Doan claimed “she does not care about polls or election results.” But innvestigators report that Doan contributed $226,000 to Republican candidates and Republican organizations. Doan responded by testifying that the contributions had been ‘taken out of context.’”
Transcript:
WAXMAN: The investigation is a very important one and what it has shown is so often when you press these issues to people in the administration, you find out what they had said wasn’t true.
Then they change their story. Then they start saying “I don’t remember. I don’t know. I can’t recall.” I just think it’s worth noting when people say “I can’t remember, I don’t recall,” it usually means they don’t want to say anything because it’s going to conflict with what they had said in the past or they’re going to say something for which they may well be committing perjury.
A good example of this was when we had Lurita Doan, the head of the General Services agency. And she had, at GSA headquarters, a teleconference all around the country with GSA employees, a review of the Republican Party’s agenda for the 2008 election [Note: Waxman meant to say it was the 2006 election.]
And they talked about what incumbent members of Congress were going to be in trouble, what opportunities for seats they had to pick up. And at the end of all this, she stood up and said, “We’ve got to do our best to help our Republican candidates.”
Well, she came before our committee, under oath. And we asked her about this meeting that took place at the GSA and the comment that she made. Well, she said the most incredible thing — “Congressman, I’m just so embarrassed. I can’t remember. I suppose I was there, but I can’t remember it.”
We asked her, we’ve had six or seven people that we’ve interviewed that indicated you stood and said “let’s help our Republican colleagues.” Do you think they’re lying? She said, “Well, I don’t want to say they’re lying. But I just don’t remember.” Well, give me a break.
So I think that these inquiries are interesting because you must ask the questions. You must do the oversight if we’re going to keep people honest, if we’re going to provide the checks and balances that our Constitution envisions.
The Bush administration is composed of people fully committed to breaking the law. They are literally a Mafia-like organization. Oversight is not about keeping them honest. It is about catching them, indicting them, convicting them, and imprisoning them.
May 28th, 2007 at 3:02 pmShe was probably checking e-mail on the Karl Rove gwb43.com network — which of course remains beyond public reach.
No, on second thought, even Karl would have figured her to be too dumb to be trusted with something like that.

May 28th, 2007 at 3:14 pmI watched the woman during her testimony and there isn’t any question in my mind: she is a liar. The OSC found her to be a liar. The comittee chair found her to be a liar.Why in hell can’t someone in the democratic party call her for what she is– a LIAR!
May 28th, 2007 at 3:14 pmShe remembers cookies but that is all? Stop. Enough.
However- since the dems continue to show no willingness to do anything other than voice a gooper lite position, I guess the only choice left is to leave the party. Leave it now and refuse to donate a single cent until the “leadership” decides to take public positions that reflect the desires of the voters!
Mean while, when reached in Greenland where she’s watching ice melt to cure “Global Warming”, Nancy Pelosi said that she agrees with Waxman and the vote to give Bush a blank check on Iraq is only the beginning of our oversight efforts.
May 28th, 2007 at 3:17 pmThank You, Nancy!

For the same reason impeachment was pulled off the table.
We only have the illusion of oversight; oversight without consequences. People “resign” to go into higher paying private-sector jobs.
Their high-paying government jobs were paid for by taxes. Their higher-paying private sector jobs are paid for by higher prices.
May 28th, 2007 at 3:40 pmRight, so far lets take stock of the situation.
The Democrats were voted into power on the idea that they would punish GW Bush. America was peeved at getting lied into a war and wanted some revenge. I must admit I thought the Democrats would at least have the balls to take that revenge. I was wrong.
The Democrats’ stated mandate (What they said they were elected to do) was to get America out of Iraq and reintroduce oversight in the house of Congress. So far they have failed miserably, and then applauded their own cleverness in their failure.
Nancy Pelosi has run away from her critics to Greenland. The general consensus within the Democrats is smugly satisfied at its own defeat and the Democratic base is basically pissed off.
The Democrats don’t give a shit about anybody but themselves, and their own political backsides, they don’t give a shit about America, and they don’t give a shit about actually doing the right thing. They are gutless cowards who are smugly impressed with their own cowardice.
The traditional alternative is the Republican Party, which is worse. In a battle between cowards, we all lose. The real alternative is to vote Green in the next elections. Everyone in America must make up their minds to show the two major parties, left and right, that they will not stand for corruption, stupidity, cowardice, lying, or a bunch of weasels more concerned with what their beltway strategists say then the good of the country.
It is time for America to vote Green.
May 28th, 2007 at 3:54 pmOn the record. That’s why Bush won’t allow Rove to talk on the record. Too many lies to have to remember.

May 28th, 2007 at 4:10 pmIt was time for people to vote Green in Florida in 2000, too. Thanks for George W. Bush, guys.
As for Doan, screw the June 7 hearing–indict her tomorrow. She has committed as blatant a violation of the Hatch Act as I’ve ever seen, and lied to Congress to boot. If she’s going to rat out Rover, let her do it as part of a plea bargain to avoid prison time. If not, let her rot in a cell. All Waxman will be doing by interviewing her again is giving her another opportunity to lie.
May 28th, 2007 at 4:22 pmDr. Wu
1st: Those who voted Green in Florida would not have voted Democrat anyway, they simply wouldn’t have voted and might even have voted Republican. They voted Green out of disgust at a party seeking to be its opposition.
2nd: You can either accept what the two parties have become, or you can do something about it. If you are not willing to vote for what you want you cannot complain when the next GW Bush comes along, next time on a Democrat ticket.
The guys who you should be sneeringly thanking for Bush are those Republicans who thought Bush a bad presidential candidate, but voted for him anyway because he was not a Democrat. When the situation gets reversed, don’t make the same mistake as those contemptable sots did.
May 28th, 2007 at 4:30 pmHenry Waxman’s power to investigate the gross corruption of George Bush’s administration is the silver lining to the Republican’s inquisition of President Bill Clinton.
I hope Henry Waxman continues his public investigations until George Bush is long gone from office. There needs to be a thorough accounting of the high crimes and misdemeanors committed by Republicans.
May 28th, 2007 at 4:33 pmTooooo bad Henry wasn’t advising Congress about check kiting and former President Clinton about lying under oath. If Waxman was so interested in “honesty” he would get to the bottom of the “cold” hard cash in William Jefferson’s freezer……Hypocrite!
May 28th, 2007 at 4:36 pmDr. Wu:
Those of you who blame either the Green party or Ralph Nader for Bush’s victory are nothing but blame-everyone-except-me whiners. You remind me of the Republicans who whine over and over “Clinton did it.” Take responsibility for once instead of blaming others. Gore lost because he ran one of the most incompetent, milk-toast campaigns ever. Gore initially had a huge lead in the polls and then blew it because he seemed to stand for nothing. If you’re a progressive, stop behaving like a whining Republican.
May 28th, 2007 at 4:40 pm“Capture one of these killers, and he’ll be quick to demand the protections of the Geneva Convention and the Constitution of the United States,” the Vice President said in the Saturday morning speech. “Yet when they wage attacks or take captives, their delicate sensibilities seem to fall away.”
May 28th, 2007 at 4:43 pmYeah, yeah, when Waxman goes after Plame for her inconsistencies in testifying to Congress, I’ll pretend to care. Your not credible if you only go after your political enemies, it’s called hypocrisy, Mr. Waxman.

Yep, Hostages To Lieberman:
This week, the Rude Pundit posited that the real reason for the Democratic cave on war funding was Joe Lieberman, him of the hangdog face and Droopy voice, seeking to exercise some of his mighty power of bipartisanship by sinking a bill supported by the vast majority of the American people. His threat? Jumping to the Republican caucus, thus assuring that this would be his last term in office.
And now we know that he’s been a-threatenin’.
Ya think George Soros could use some of his scratch to bribe Chuck Hagel into going independent and caucusing Democratic? And then we can tell Lieberman to go uck himself.

I agree with Bruce and Willy - that Gore could have done a better job with his campaign, and his loss was not because of Ralph Nader (though he didn’t actually lose according to several independent re-counts).
And to give Mr. Gore that opportunity to run a better campaign, we’d like to invite him to run again in 2008… :D
May 28th, 2007 at 4:47 pmMay 22 (Bloomberg) — Senator Joe Lieberman, a Connecticut independent, says his disagreement with the Democrats over the Iraq war won’t prevent him from working with his former party. For now.
“I hope the moment doesn’t come that I feel so separated from the caucus” that he decides to shift allegiance to the Republicans, he said in an interview. Asked what Democratic actions might cause such a break, he invoked Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart’s famous 1964 definition of pornography: “I’ll know it when I see it.”

LandSurveyor,
Plame contradicted her earlier testimony to the Senate Intelligence Committee, and came up with a brand new story that she never told anyone earlier. Senator Bond has, after she testified, investigated with the CIA whether or not what she was saying was true, and the CIA has not found any cover for the things she stated.
Plame would have to testify again for the Republicans on the committee to ask her to explain herself, and regardless, the Democratic chairman would have to be the one to bring perjury charges, if I’m not mistaken. Will that happen, Mr. Waxman? Nope. Plame’s a golden Democratic asset, she’s not going anywhere, regardless of whether she lied or not. Waxman’s not interested in the truth, but he can easily prove me wrong by bringing Plame in for questioning again.
Ginko,
I’m asking Waxman to hold both parties to the same standard, but he obviously won’t, which was my whole point.
May 28th, 2007 at 5:30 pmSenator Bond is the dumbest windbag in Congress…and that’s saying a lot….my dog has more brains.

Why wont Waxman answer questions about Sibel Edmonds. He just wont respond to thousands of concerned citizens regarding this vital issue.

Hope springs eternal. We have seen some good progress with people like C.R.E.W. transparency and accountability will be ours if we demand it from our elected “leaders” regardelss of party. The irony of Bush having his own “Monica problem” is too rich for words.
May 28th, 2007 at 5:45 pmHelp me with this. With all the allegations of wrongdoing, especially in regards to Bush. The tampering of intel, the allegations that he orchestrated 9/11, the criminal involvement and profiteering in the war. Democrats have had 4-5 years to bring the charges. They have both houses of congress. President Bush has a 30% approval rating.
If all (or any) of the allegations are true. If the evidence is so obvious and overwhelming. Why isn’t the Democratic controlled congress (they no doubt have the motivation) able to bring the man to justice.
Is it possible the charges are not that credible? Isn’t it reasonable for me to have doubts about the charges of Bush’s wrongdoing, if his bitter opposition is unable to act on them?
May 28th, 2007 at 5:45 pmStupid troll is just proving that he’s in Repuke Bizarro World.
Valerie Plame was an undercover CIA agent who ran an undercover CIA company and they were both outed by the Chimpy regime.
Those are the real facts on Plamegate. Chimpy and his goons outed the CIA.
That’s treason.

We already know what she is all about. The Turks are the middlemen for heroin coming out of Afghanistan. The US government knows about it and is keeping it covered up.

Her entire case is classified and that’s probably why Waxman won’t talk about it.

Sibel says that the people involved will go straight to prison if we can get hearings into her case. Richard Perle, in prison. Douglas Feith, in prison. Dennis Hastert, in prison.

Republicans started treating Democrats like the enemy during Carter’s administration and perfected it during Clinton’s. Unfortunately the Democratic voters unlike the Republican voters demand accountability and civility from their politicians. In effect neocons have been waging a noviolent civil war against us that started with the assasination of JFK.
Since Bush Sr. appears to be complicit in much of what has happened since then I guess the “I don’t know” testimony of Doan just follows the success initially achieved by Reagan during Iran/Contra. At a time when technology has made it incredibly easy to take notes and save calendars in several places at one time, not one member of the administration is able to remember anything that was said or when it was said or who was present.
Maybe Bush Sr. needs to be hauled in and questioned about why he was in Dallas during the assasination and how all his cronies from those days ended up in such high positions and how his dumbest son became president. Something is askew and the checks and balances that are supposed to protect our country from the control of fascist-like leasers has failed.

The Democratic congress wasn’t elected for some sort of revenge against Bush. They were elected because people want change and the first change we want is this war on Iraq to end and the efforts be focused on diplomacy rather than the military. Republicans are so incredibly corrupt (and being indicted left and right across the nation finally) but we have a very slim majority and that is problematic in getting change moving. the wheels of progress move slowly and people take that to mean the Democrats are weak. I don’t see it that way, the system will eventually grind towards Justice if we can get it back on track and we have a great team of Dems ( though not perfect) in place to do just that.

May 28th, 2007 at 7:04 pm“Maybe Bush Sr. needs to be hauled in and questioned about why he was in Dallas during the assasination and how all his cronies from those days ended up in such high positions and how his dumbest son became president.”
That works! :D
“Something is askew and the checks and balances that are supposed to protect our country from the control of fascist-like leasers has failed.

May 28th, 2007 at 7:34 pmMr. Idiot, with a blowup doll like Laura, it probably doesn’t know how to do the orgasm thing, but most women are very “appreciative” of a guy who rocks their ocean. Dork.
May 28th, 2007 at 7:38 pmWell, I see no point in voting Green. Not if I was an American. It’s different in Canada. And, if Bruce Gorton is South African, I’m sure they too have a parliamentary democracy, which can handle multi-party elections. Indeed, SA has the edge on Canada by having proportional representation.
Sadly, I can’t see third parties in America as being anything more than protest parties. And the Greens leave me cold. I’ve met too many who are either Far Left or Far Right for me to think this is anything but a one-note party.
Now, if an amendment could be passed to bring in Prop Rep to the House, and the numbers increased to double what they are now, I’d have more hope for America. I don’t think 870 is an unwieldy number. And if the vote was coupled (male/female), there’d be gender parity.

Although I believe and agreed with Mr. Verbalkint’s position in “oversight†on Condi Rice’s crimes against the United States I do have a problem with its relationship between Henry Waxman and reality: WHY IN THE HELL IS WAXMAN DRAGGING HIS FEET IN BRING RICE TO JUSTICE? BETTER YET—WHY IS CONDI ALLOWED TO TELL WAXMAN SINCE LAST APRIL TO SHOVE HIS SUBPOENAS UP HIS ASS? THOSE SUBPOENAS ARE FOR THE IRAQ-NIGER CLAIMS AND CIA’S PLAME-OUTING CHARGE—AND THEY’RE BOTH ROASTING UP IN WAXMAN’S BUTT! WAXMAN—LIKE JOHN CONYERS—IS NOTHING BUT A BAG OF HOT AIR!

The premise of oversight is that Official A says she’s telling the truth and doing a heck uv a job and Official B says he’s telling the truth and doing a heck uv a job, but one is lying. Which one?

Then his mother (poor woman!) went round the bend, became BFF with Hugo Chavez and was divorced from Mr. Sheehan. THAT resulted in poor Cindy being left “alone”…….

Comment by valiant venus
Your respect for the troops sure does flip flop. I should have said left his mother without her son. But then I’m sure you would find another portion of the statement on which to split hairs. You don’t think this dead soldier deserves to have his mother respected. How do you think that would make him feel, to know how you talk about her because she doesn’t agree with your politics. So that basically any parent of a dead soldier is open game if they don’t want to send more soldiers to Iraq. Nobody is ever allowed to disagree with you people. So it’s not enough for them to sacrifice their children, they also have to sacrifice their opinion, morals and ideals. Nice.

I find the way trolls like VV and michael constantly put down public school education, when their frequent misspellings and bad grammar hardly make a case for the supposed “superiority” of private schooling. And, of course, VV throws a temper tantrum almost every time her bad spelling, grammar and/or punctuation are pointed out.
May 28th, 2007 at 11:43 pmINTELLIGENT MEN AND WOMEN understand the differences between Castro or Chavez and what American progressives/liberals support. And, oh, VV/MA, you don’t seem to mind the government’s control over women’s bodies, or its warrantless wiretapping (even though it has a huge backlog of untranslated intercepted calls because or a dire shortage of people in the US intelligence agencies competent in Arabic or other languages spoken in the Middle East and Afghanistan), do you?
Shane, I respect Casey Sheehan with EVERY ounce of my being…..His mother (pooor woman!) has brought great disrespect UPON HERSELF. When she cozied up to Hugo Chavez, I was unable to dig any deeper for sympathy for HER.

May 28th, 2007 at 11:48 pmYou are toooo funny. Progressives disparage ANYTHING and EVERYTHING traditional about our country and you found yourself able to type those words with a straight face????? You’re such a phony…..
Hey, America had a chance in 2004 to “wake up and smell the coffee.” We knew Bush, et al had lied us into war back then. We knew about the warnings that Iraq would turn into a disaster. We knew about the lying, rule breaking, cronyism and law breaking in the administration, and the Republican party. But “we”, that is, most people who voted, didn’t vote to oust Republicans or George Bush from office. They reelected him.
And we got exactly what we asked for. It’s our own fault for “not knowing he was such a dumbass mofo”.
Republicans are very effective. They will lie, call names, cheat, and impeach for all the wrong reasons.
Democrats are screw ups. They won’t lie, call names, cheat, follow rules or impeach for the RIGHT reasons.
We are SCREWED and we deserve it because we don’t do anything about it.

As for abortion…..women control their own bodies if they choose to sleep around….Should they be fairly bright, they might even take control of their bodies and utilize a concept known as birth control. Abortion is intrinsically evil and is the ultimate in selfishness…..You must be a selfish conservative……
As for my lack of love for public education. The NEA and contemporary teaching methods are determined to DUMB DOWN American school children - - that’s ONE way to narrow the achievement gap…..The other way might eliminate ROTTEN teachers thru firing (and not transferring them to the poorest schools - those teachers are referred to as “lemons”). How about starting teachers at $75K a year and no TENURE. Rewarding the best and most enthusiastic teachers would get rid of the deluge of “C” college students who end up in the classrooms of our country…..How about requiring parental participation (if not in the classroom, helping with “busy” work at home?)
I decided along time ago the problem with the Dem Party was the amazing ability to languish in victimhood…..You want to see victims - go to Darfur…..

I know you and your dead baby jokes might have trouble understanding this but there is no deeper grief a normal parent can suffer than the loss of a child. She met with Chavez once and you call that “best friends forever”. But frankly you people destroyed the woman before she ever met with him. Only sociopaths would be unable to sympathize with this woman. And people who truly respect the troops would respect the people who have suffered through this loss.

Oh so you are able to fabricate an entire family, impressive. But not surprising as shown by the creative misrepresentation of facts appearing in your posts.
May 29th, 2007 at 12:27 amYOU calling somebody else an insensitive bitch is the epitome of irony. Now you are telling Juan that you do have a dead baby when you denied the dead child and the jokes all this time. Pick a story liar and stick with it.
May 29th, 2007 at 12:29 amcon’t = Zooote quite the weight your hairsplitting, nit-picking with unbelievable from a few months ago. Losing your abilities?
Mr. P - I have one deceased child and several other children who are alive. Shane, how dare you presume HOW every other mother would
react???
This thread was flushed long ago………Tooodles………
May 29th, 2007 at 12:29 amvaliant venus > tell the truth and it will set you free. Once you stop lying, then the fog in your brain that defends Bush will vanish. You will feel so much better after you stop lying on here.

May 29th, 2007 at 12:31 amShane - your memory is a spotty as your reputation. I have never joked about my “dead child” — I recounted how my son tried to cheer me when he discovered me crying, no more - no less……..No more bongs or beers for you!
Goood night……..
May 29th, 2007 at 12:32 amOuch, valiant venus. Zoooey made jokes about your dead child?! Don’t worry yourself about it. They falsely claim I am not a Korean War vet as well.

What happened to your child VV?
And what would give people the impression that you were fabricating the story?
