Think Progress: Goodling In Private Email: ‘Send Directly Up To Me, Outside The System’
Goodling In Private Email: ‘Send Directly Up To Me, Outside The System’
New Justice Department communications released tonight include an email from Monica Goodling, former counsel to Alberto Gonzales, directing another official to draw up a directive giving her unprecedented authority to hire and fire political staffers. Goodling tells the official, assistant attorney general Paul Corts, to “send directly up to me, outside the system.”

Read the exchange:



The authority Goodling was requesting in this January 2006 exchange was first reported by Murray Waas last month in the National Journal. Waas detailed how Alberto Gonzales had “signed a highly confidential order in March 2006 delegating to two of his top aides” — Goodling and then-chief of staff Kyle Sampson — “extraordinary authority over the hiring and firing of most non-civil-service employees of the Justice Department.”

2. note the commanding phrasing of Goodling's emails, juxtaposed with the scared little girl routine
she put on while under oath. Note the clarity and control, which reflects understanding (hence MEMORY) of the events in question.

Which proves the whole "I don't recall" BS is really that: BS. :grr:
