Rats Leaving Sinking Ship - Gonzales Counsel Monica Goodling Resigns

Lawyer overboard! Looks like Monica Goodling, the liaison to the White House for the Justice Department has submitted her resignation. No explanation was given, but she was scheduled to testify before Congress in the recent US Attorney scandal. She may be trying to shake off requests for her testimony in the firing of 8 US Attorneys by Gonzales to be replaced by political appointees. Apparently Congress is still interested in her as well as the Justice Department's Office of Inspector General and Office of Professional Responsibility.

Seems that jumping ship is not the answer. It looks more and more like Gonzales is going to have to answer for his lies to Congress soon.
