Through the Looking Glass With Monica

I must admit to a case of Prosecutor-Gate fatigue, but there’s a development involving Monica Goodling that beggars belief.

The last time I checked in with Goodling, who is the beleaguered White House’s liaison with the beleaguered Justice Department, she claimed that she had been falsely accused in connection with the scandal and would take the Fifth when called before Congress, refusing to answer any questions on the grounds that she would incriminate herself by telling the truth.

Lawyers for Goodling say she is sticking to her guns because Deputy Attorney General Paul McNulty has falsely accused her of failing to properly brief him on the firing of eight U.S. attorneys, which caused him to mislead Congress.

Makes you want to do hard drugs, doesn’t it?
