The House Judiciary Committee just authorized a subpoena for Monica Goodling’s testimony. Even better, they extended an offer of immunity. That means she can’t “take the Fifth.” Read about it at TPMuckraker.

She can’t plead the 5th, but will she plead a faulty memory?
Well. I’m no lawyer,but my understanding is that immunity isn’t given without some knowledge of something valuable given back in return for the immunity. Truthful testimony is also a requirement in the exchange process for immunity, so Monica can’t dummy up like Gonzo did. It’s a conditional deal….and Monica is going to roll over like Joe Valachi…. 🙂
