Goodling’s ‘uncomfortable’ conversation piques senators’ interest
By Jeremy Jacobs
June 06, 2007
The leaders of the Senate Judiciary Committee are seeking answers regarding an “uncomfortable” conversation on the firing of U.S. attorneys between Attorney General Alberto Gonzales and Monica Goodling that the former Department of Justice (DoJ) aide described in recent testimony.

Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) and ranking Republican Arlen Specter (Pa.) are asking DoJ Inspector General Glenn Fine if the conversation is part of his internal investigation into the firings.

In her May 23 testimony before the House Judiciary Committee, Goodling discussed “a meeting she had with Attorney General Gonzales that made her ‘uncomfortable’ in the days before she resigned from the Department of Justice,” the senators wrote Fine.

They added that the former DoJ-White House liaison also said “that Mr. Gonzales recounted to her his recollection of the process leading up to and including the firing and replacement of several U.S. Attorneys.”
