EARLIER: Davis quizzes Goodling on DOJ scandal

While we’re hitting the YouTube junk, here’s a clip from Real Time with Bill Maher to catch you up on Goodling’s role in the scandal.

Davis’ office has released this partial transcript of Wednesday’s hearing.

U.S. Rep. Artur Davis questions to former Department of Justice White House Liaison Monica Goodling – Partial First Round Transcript
First, in direct response to Congressman Davis’ questioning, Goodling said she believed Attorney General Gonzalez had been less than forthcoming during testimony before the Senate and House Judiciary Committees concerning his role in the firing of the eight U.S. Attorneys.

************************

DAVIS: Let me pick up on my colleague’s questions. As you know, you’re no longer at the department. Mr. McNulty is no longer at the department. The person who remains at the department is, frankly, Attorney General Gonzales.

And as you may or may not be aware, Mr. Schiff and I have introduced a no-confidence resolution for the House to vote on considering Mr. Gonzales. As you also may be aware, there’s a similar resolution in the United States Senate.

So I want to pick up on his focus on the person who’s still there, the attorney general of the United States.

Going back to your testimony earlier today, Ms. Goodling, General Gonzales testified that he never saw the U.S. attorneys list, the list of terminated U.S. attorneys.

DAVIS: Is that accurate to your knowledge, Ms. Goodling?

GOODLING: I believe he did see a list.

DAVIS: So if General Gonzales testified that he didn’t see the list, you believe that would be inaccurate testimony on his part, don’t you?

GOODLING: I believe he saw a list.

DAVIS: So therefore you believe it would be inaccurate testimony.

GOODLING: Yes.

DAVIS: If General Gonzales testified that he had never been briefed about the list, do you believe that would be accurate or inaccurate testimony?

GOODLING: I believe it would be inaccurate.

DAVIS: Are there any other inaccuracies in the testimony that General Gonzales gave the Senate that you are able to share with us?

GOODLING: I don’t know that I saw all of it.

DAVIS: Let me help you a little bit with one other one. The attorney general testified that he was not involved in any discussions about the U.S. attorney firings. Do you believe that to be accurate or inaccurate?

GOODLING: He was certainly at the November 27th meeting.

DAVIS: So you believe that to be another piece of inaccurate testimony, don’t you, Ms. Goodling?

GOODLING: Yes.

***********************

Later during Congressman Davis’ questioning, Goodling noted an “uncomfortable” conversation with Attorney General Gonzalez where he appeared to attempt to have her corroborate his recollection of how and why the firings took place.

***********************

DAVIS: When is the last time you spoke to the attorney general, Ms. Goodling?

GOODLING: I spoke to him the Thursday or Friday my last full week at the department, and then I took leave the following…

DAVIS: Do you have a good memory of that conversation, Ms. Goodling?

GOODLING: I have memory of some of it.

DAVIS: Was there any part of that conversation that made you uncomfortable?

GOODLING: Yes.

DAVIS: Would you tell the committee about it?

GOODLING: I had decided that I couldn’t continue working on his staff because of the circumstances. I felt that I was somewhat paralyzed. I just felt like I — I was distraught. And I felt that I wanted to make a transfer.

So I went back to ask him if it would be possible for me to transfer out of his office. He said that he would need to think about that. And I think he was, you know, trying to, you know, just trying to chat. I was on his staff. But he then proceeded to say, “Let me tell you what I can remember.” And he kind of — he laid out for me his general recollection of…

DAVIS: Recollection of what, Ms. Goodling?

GOODLING: Of some of the process. DAVIS: Some of the process regarding what?

GOODLING: Some of the process regarding the replacement of the U.S. attorneys. And he — he just — he laid out a little bit of it, and then he asked me if he thought — if I had any reaction to his iteration.

And I remember thinking at that point that this was something that we were all going to have to talk about, and I didn’t know that it was — I just — I didn’t know that it was maybe appropriate for us to talk about that at that point, and so I just didn’t. As far as I can remember, I just didn’t respond.

GOODLING: And so I just didn’t. As far as I can remember, I just didn’t respond.

************************

DAVIS: Why did you think it might be inappropriate for you to have this conversation with the attorney general?

GOODLING: I just knew that, at some point, we would probably all have to talk about our conversations and I just — I’m not saying that I — I’m not saying that I definitely thought it was inappropriate. I think, in all fairness, that he was just talking to someone on his staff and I was distraught and I was asking for a transfer. And I think he was being kind. He’s a very kind man. But I just didn’t know that I thought that maybe this was a conversation that we should be having.
