House Offers Monica Goodling Immunity to Compel her Testimony on U.S. Attorney Scandal

A BUZZFLASH NEWS ALERT

The House Judiciary Committee has authorized an offer of immunity to compel testimony of former Justice Department-White House Liaison Monica Goodling, a key player in the U.S. Attorney scandal. The deal would legally prevent her from taking the Fifth before a Committee hearing as she has threatened.

32 members of the Committee brought the vote over the two-thirds threshold required by law; six voted against it and two were not present. A Democratic source told BuzzFlash that Goodling could still reject the deal, but "it would look terrible" since she would be legally protected from prosecution for anything (truthful) she says.

1. I agree she "could" still reject the offer, and yes it would look bad, but

I believe if she is subpoenaed and granted imunity, and still refuses to appear, she could be prosecuted and jailed for non compliance with the legally issued subpoena. Yes it would go to court, but there's no court that I'm aware of that would side with her on this!

I'm not an attorney, but I've been around legal dealings a long time. I'd be interested to hear if any attorney's agree with my conclusion.
