Gonzales aide with Domenici connection won’t testify in Senate

Last Update: 03/27/2007 7:33:28 AM
By: Associated Press

AP) - Attorney General Alberto Gonzales’ liaison with the White House will refuse to answer questions at upcoming Senate hearings about the firings of eight US attorneys.

An attorney for Monica Goodling says she will cite her Fifth Amendment protection against self-incrimination.

Goodling was involved in an April Sixth, 2006, phone call between the Justice Department and New Mexico Republican Senator Pete Domenici.

Domenici had complained to the Bush administration and the president about David Iglesias, then the US attorney in Albuquerque.

Domenici wanted Iglesias to push more aggressively on a corruption probe against Democrats before the 2006 elections.

Iglesias told Congress earlier this month that he rejected what he believed to be pressure from Domenici to rush indictments that would have hurt Democrats in the November elections.

Note that you can only invoke the Fifth Amendment to prevent self incrimination. You can't do it to protect your boss or to save yourself from embarassment. You can't do it to protect other people from being incriminated.

If you successfully invoke the amendment, this is a prima facie showing that you were personally involved in a crime somewhere. Often the judge will hold an in camera review to confirm that the person is guilty as sin before allowing the person to take the fifth in the proceeding. It is not something that is done lightly and the rules are very narrowly tailored to self incrimination and only to self incrimination.

This should be a huge red flag to everyone about what is going on in the Bush administration.

That's too complicated for the rubes to follow.

I was listening to some of Ed Schultz's radio program while I was just out running over noontime. He said his sources tell him that two more people in the Justice Department -- in adddition to Goodling -- are planning to take the Fifth. (That would not include Kyle Sampson, who has apparently assured the committee through his lawyer that he intends to testify.)

To reason, indeed, he was not in the habit of attending. His mode of arguing, if it is to be so called, was one not uncommon among dull and stubborn persons, who are accustomed to be surrounded by their inferiors. He asserted a proposition; and, as often as wiser people ventured respectfully to show that it was erroneous, he asserted it again, in exactly the same words, and conceived that, by doing so, he at once disposed of all objections. - Macaulay, "History of England," Vol. 1, Chapter 6, on James II.
