Monica Is In A World Of Hurt

I have run hot and cold about whether immunity should be offered to Monica Goodling, but have consistently maintained that nothing more than use (testimonial) immunity should even be considered. It is now quite clear that Goodling has enough goods to be considered for immunity, maybe even a broader grant than originally contemplated. However, there must be an awe inspiring proffer (avowal as to what she can testify to) made before anything goes further. The revelations of the last two days have placed a mass of exposure the equivalent of a small planet directly over Ms. Goodling's head; it is time for the Congressional inquisitors to turn up the pressure. With the latest disclosures it seems Goodling can likely roll the whole bunch of malefactors right up to Rove and Harriet Miers, which means up to Bush himself. I don't care if Monica has John Dowd as a lawyer in her corner or not; if she has a lick of common sense, she is completely soiling her drawers right about now. If I were Ms. Goodling, I would also be a might concerned where Dowd's loyalties and priorities actually reside as well, since it is unlikely that Goodling and/or her family are paying Dowd's fees. Dear Monica has become as much the "hub" of this conspiracy as Gonzales. Dear Monica has a problem. Big problem.
