… Monica Goodling holds the keys to the kingdom.” – former U.S. Attorney for New Mexico David Iglesias (via “Hardball”)
TPM Muckraker has the updates, but this one is particularly important.
Update: It is likely to be weeks before the committee actually gets to interview Goodling. That’s because the law requires that the Justice Department be allowed an opportunity to provide its views on immunity — i.e. whether it might interfere with an existing or possible investigation. If the DoJ objects to giving Goodling immunity, then the committee would be forced to consider whether to defer or delay conferring immunity. And regardless of what the DoJ says, the local federal court has to approve giving Goodling immunity. All this is likely to take several weeks.
Word on this one: patience.
