Judiciary committee to vote on Goodling immunity.
House Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers (D-MI) has scheduled a vote tomorrow to consider granting immunity to former Alberto Gonzales counsel Monica Goodling, in order to secure her testimony about the U.S. Attorney scandal. “Two-thirds of the Committee must approve immunity.” Conyers’ statement:
“As the White House Liaison in the Department while the US Attorney firings were planned and carried out, Ms. Goodling clearly has much to contribute to the Committee’s understanding of the surrounding circumstances,” Conyers said. “I am hopeful we can approve immunity so that we can schedule her to testify as soon as possible and begin to clear up the many inconsistencies and gaps surrounding this matter.”
