Did Gonzalez lie under oath?

Question

He claims he never had a conversation with Monica Goodling after the investigation started, about their respective memories of the firings. She says he did.

He has more to lose than she does.

Did he lie?

Kim: Really? Nothing wrong with it? Then why did Goodling say under oath that she crossed lines by considering politics too much when hiring these attorneys?

Hey grips: Get one. It's a question, not an accusation. My God, you people are angry.

Answer 1

Yes, because she is not the only one who said under oath that he was present at the meeting. He is the ONLY one who said he was not there. In addition, he LIED to Congress again when he said he did not speak to his top aides about the scandal
To the person who noted Gonzales comment about "comforting" Ms. Goodling. His mere asking her what she was going to say when she was questioned in the eyes of the law, is considered witness tampering, an argument used by the Republicans on a few occasions and even this same Justice Department. They used it when they prosecuted Ken Lay with the " recollection" questions to see if he got the facts right and the in the impeachment proceedings against Bill Clinton when they claimed he tried to influence future statements before there had been a case. Now we are to believe Gonzales' little talk was not the same. They can't have it both ways.
Gonzales did this AFTER he fully well knew that the Justice Department own Office of Proessional Responsibility opened an investigation into the firings on March 14. This was also his reasoning why he said he could not discuss with Congress what going on.
He just keeps digging himself a bigger and bigger hole.

Answer 2

Of course he did. He also lied when he reported to Congress, in 2004, that no one in Justice had any objections to warrantless wire tapping. Every Justice official, except ONE, including Ashcroft, had objections to it. This guy's an embarrassment to his office. His own party is raking him over the coals and demanding his resignation. Funny how none of the conservatives even address that, they just carry on about it being a Democratic political game. This is what disturbs me so mightily about some of the conservatives. They seem desperate to blame all the political unrest on the Democrats and deliberately ignore the many members of their own party who are unhappy as well.

Answer 3

He replaced into telling lies and he's common with it. i advise he resign and grant the interest to speed Limbaugh, he's common with each and every ingredient, in basic terms pay attention to him, of path it would desire to point a pay shrink back. If no longer him Sean Hannity yet yet another comprehend all of it and he has already been to Iraq on a actuality looking project, with Newt

Answer 4

Yes. He lied approximately 72 times.

Answer 5

Goodling is not a credible witness in a court of law. Hearsay and bias. Immunity? Amazing and she felt, well, maybe she over stepped boundries? Confessed to possible illegal behavior yet America believes this woman? SHE said. Sorry where is her little blue dress becuz w/out evidence it is theatre. Thank you.

Answer 6

NO WAY

You don't know what it's like working for a megalomaniac. Gonzo is burned out from years of listening to Bush go on and on and on.

Go Team Gonzo Go

Answer 7

Ayuh, just like all the president's men have when they have been brought into accountability for their actions.

Answer 8

NAH...

He didn't lie. It's political theater just like the President said. There's nothing wrong with using politics to decide the fate of U.S. Attorneys. It's been going on from the beginning of our nation. The Libs are mixing up issues.

Answer 9

It's his word against hers, far as I know neither one has changed their story. Can't prove either one of them are lying.

Answer 10

It depends on what the meaning of the word "is" is.
