Ralston pleads the fifth and Goodling to testify tomorrow

With former Abramoff aide/former Rove aide Susan Ralston now claiming the fifth amendment before Congress in an apparent attempt to extract immunity, and Monica Goodling having been granted immunity to testify tomorrow, the circle around Rove appears to be closing.

(The Ralston fifth amendment claim was revealed in a memo released by Waxman's Government Oversight Committee not coincidentally the day before Goodling is to testify. Before the Goodling show starts, all of the papers will have the headline, Former Rove Aide Claims Fifth Amendment.

Not that Waxman is trying to prejudice public opinion.....)

Also: EmptyWheel has a good post on Waxman refusing Ralston's immunity plea.

  • The mustachioed fascist Waxman can have all the show trials he wants. After his threat to Victoria Toensing to have her prosecuted for expressing her opinion, I hope every potential witness demands immunity before agreeing to testify.
