Former U.S. Department of Justice Counsel to U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales received an official court order today granting her immunity in exchange for truthful testimony about the U.S. Attorney firings investigation.
But Washington Post reporter Dan Eggen reminds followers of the legal scandal that her immunity from prosecution in the U.S. Attorney terminations inquiry will not prevent her from any potential fiasco stemming from an internal Justice Department probe into whether or not Goodling hired career prosecutors for the agency by giving weight to an applicant’s political party affiliation.
Harvard Law School graduate Glenn Fine heads the DOJ’s Office of the Inspector General which is spearheading the probe into Goodling’s hiring methods.
