Goodling/Sampson Obstruction of Justice evidence?

BBC Television's Newsnight has 500 "missing" Rove office emails, including a series of self-incriminating notes which provide "the keys to the kingdom" behind the prosecutor firings.

In the opening to today's testimony before Congress, Monica Goodling, former Department of Justice White House Liaison, testified that Deputy Attorney General Kyle Sampson lied. At issue was, says Goodling, Sampson's denial "that he had some knowledge of allegations that Tim Griffin had been involved in vote 'caging' during the work on the President's 2004 campaign."

What is 'caging'? Why is it so important that it lead Goodling's testimony? Why is Tim Griffin's involvement kept secret? And what are 'the allegations'?

Goodling, in her testimony (and in several subpoenaed emails) identifies the source of the allegation as BBC investigative reporter Greg Palast - who, in October 2004, broke open the 'caging' story on BBC's Television's premier current affairs show, Newsnight. (Watch it here)

The BBC reported that 'vote caging' is a crime; Tim Griffin directed it; Karl Rove, Goodling and Sampson knew it, yet Rove demanded the appointment of Griffin as the US Attorney for Arkansas.

'Caging' was a 2004 Bush-Cheney campaign scheme to challenge, on false evidence, the right to vote of tens of thousand of Black voters.

Goodling knowingly broke the law with intent and her supervisors signed off on it, count one (needing two) for felony status to implement RICO statute. Goodling can get that immunity thing but the RICO thing kicking in could really be something for the rest of them. That, even after they leave office, whenever that happens :shrug:

Election/voter fraud, 'caging' list, Tim Griffin, and Rove e-mails start about twenty minutes into the hour. Good stuff if you have the time, but keep in mind, KGO only archives programming for 24 hours.
