In what state is Monica a member of the bar. Did she pass the bar somewhere or does she simply hold a JD. Can anyone answer? You have to pass the bar to obtain a Law license and practice. I have a bud that holds a JD and can’t pass the bar even here in Ky. He’s working as a paralegal. Point being, here is a woman who hasn’t a clue about courtroom procedures etc…and she is hiring and firing people at DOJ. Pathetic.

We need to send Monica up the river where her emails used to go. These people have no ethics or morals. And she calls herself a “christian”. HA HA HA

“outside the system” means just what it says.
This wasn’t one deal, it was a scam to avoid getting caught.
Now, Conyers has to find out where all of this evidence ended up.
Obviously, Monica got some mail “outside the system.”
Where is it?

I am so beyond being disgusted with these lying criminals. Disbar Ms. Goodling, and send her to jail, where most of the Rethugs belong these days.

I remember waaaaay back in ‘99:
“I’m a UNITER, not a DIVIDER”.
So setting up the branches of the federal gov’t to favor Neo-Con philosophy for years to come is uniting?
Yes. It is uniting the nation under borderline fascism against its will. GWB is true to his words. We just didn’t ask “Uniter of what?!?” We assumed he was speaking of bipartisanship.

Looks like another Monica will help bring down the white house.

As an onlooker to what has been happening in this country since the advent of Reagan, it is hardly surprising that we now find ourselves in the gutter, wallowing in the sh#@. Deceit is killing us. We are unable to take a good look at ourselves and own up to our shortcomings. Instead we cast stones at our neighbors, and spread falsehood far and wide. The advent of this prating criminal occupying the WH, a person too shallow to have so much power, should scare the living daylights out of every thinking human living on the planet. I believe this ghoul is ready to destroy the planet, aided by the likes of fellow suicidel minded such as little Monica the liar. As for the veep, he couldn’t care less. He senses his mortality and it really doesn’t matter to him if the country prospers or becomes totally devastated by events they’ve started. Personally my enthusiasm for this country has been dampened somewhat by this one party regime running things. As a prior Dem voter I have been sickened by the so-called leadership to the extent that I might not bother the next time those scallywags asks for my vote. There apparently is nothing that we can, as the little people, do to change the course of events in the USA. I think the crazy man at the helm, the commander guy, and the decider, has the goods on the opposition and a threat is all it takes to have his way with them.

These documents are in succession, and CLEARLY show that Monica Goodling and Kyle Sampson were given the authority to HIRE and FIRE

ANYONE, based on their standards of “Bushies”, such as religious, etc.

This is CLEARLY a violation of the Hatch Act.

The fact that Monica wanted the email done OUTSIDE the LEGAL CHANNELS shows that they KNEW that it was ILLEGAL…

Like FOX Noise correspondent Col. Oliver North even if Monica Goodling sould be convicted her case would be appealed to a Bush appointed or other Republican judge who would overturn it on the grounds of her immunity.

She, like the rest of the Bush administration, is a traitor. Bottom line.

She put party before loyalty to the United States. I don’t care how many Republican Conservatives line up to make mooney eyes are her because she’s pretty. She’s just as much a damned criminal traitor as Scooter Libby.

Time to bring-in an independent prosecutor. We have enough of a trail to show that some form of obstruction was committed, as well as violation of the Records Act. There is enough blood in the water.

The judge will have to withdraw the immunity deal now.

OK, Fine. Let’s use Cheney/Bush standards: screw Impeachment, forget Due Process. Toss Cheney and Bush in maximum security solitary confinement, in straightjackets, and shred the keys NOW.

Why are people worrying about prosecuting and convicting the small fry. A fish rots from the head down. I want convictions of the mob bosses, not just the henchmen.

Hate to say it, but this proves nothing. Outside the system could just as easily mean (and given the context, probably does mean) “outside normal bureaucratic channels.” Given that the chain discusses layers of review, this is nowhere near enough to violate her immunity deal. If, however, she had personal (e.g., RNC) emails of all this, that would be a completely different story. But based just on this, it’s the exact same thing that the wingers do.

Rep. Bobby Scott (D-VA) later pressed her on whether she had committed a crime. â€œI donâ€™t believe that I intended to commit a crime,â€ she said at first. Then, when he pressed, â€œI know I crossed the line of civil service rules.â€ Did that mean she crossed the line of breaking the law, he asked? â€œI believe I crossed the line, but I didnâ€™t mean to,â€ she said.

Uh huh

-Gee, officer, I know I was going 120 in a 35 mph zone, but I didn’t mean to.

Interested party your comments make no sense in the context of the article or the previous comments. Perhaps you should come up with a coherent thought before you hit POST.

You people amaze me. Don’t bother to think what this all means. Don’t bother to think what anything means. Just declare the outcome you want and have at it. Childish. Grow up! You are going to be very surprised if you don’t entertain something else could be going on. The more ‘nutsoid’ you get in these articles, the more it is gonna look like egg all over your face.

The entire administration, from the Justice Department, the GAO and who knows what other agency or governmental body is just “eat up with the cancer” of cynical Republican manipulation.

With each player in charge of a single bit of abhorent, unethical behavor no one can pin a prosecutable crime on anyone while the sum of all their efforts builds to a stinking pile of favoritism, stacked juries, unjustified prosecutions and deep systemic disfunction. I honestly don’t know how the various oversight committees can weave the Republicans’ individual behaviors into a comprehensive narrative of criminality the public can understand and prosecutors can pursue.

God help the Republic.
