"The former executive assistant to White House political adviser Karl Rove is seeking immunity from prosecution before testifying about administration ties to disgraced lobbyist Jack Abramoff, a House investigative committee revealed Tuesday." Before giving her immunity, they should determine is she has any dirt, or if she is just going to take all responsibility and then skate with the immunity. That seems to be what Goodling's doing, except for say her boss and others were lying. Bush and his close henchmen will never go down. Besides having his underlings take responsibility after getting immunity, he's got the fallback of a pardon. Things like that are why so few Americans bother to vote.

The former executive assistant to White House political adviser Karl Rove is seeking immunity from prosecution before testifying about administration ties to disgraced lobbyist Jack Abramoff, a House investigative committee revealed Tuesday. Susan Ralston, the aide who resigned last fall, told lawyers for the committee this month she would provide information if protected from prosecution. In a sign that Congress' probe into the Abramoff matter is widening, the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform also signaled plans to seek further documents and information about the former lobbyist's contacts with the Bush White House from "former and current White House and Administration officials who may have knowledge" about such communications. In a memo to fellow committee members Tuesday, Chairman Henry A. Waxman, D-Calif., said lawyers for the panel deposed Ralston, Rove's former aide, on May 10. Ralston resigned her White House post in October following the committee's finding that she had extensive contacts with Abramoff and had accepted tickets to sporting events and concerts from him. Hear! Hear! Waxman is a pit bull. If there is anything to be found, he will find it. He is the most colorless of men but you don't want him not to be on your side.
