The teaching of Monica (Goodling)...

(OR: Every President needs his MONICA)

Dearest Monica,

You have, Mme. Goodling, through your attorney, invoked (or offered your anticipatory need to cover yourself through the protection of) the Fifth Amendment, in case of 'testimony' taken by the Judiciary Committee, in the affair popularly denominated as Prosecutorgate.

Just a wee reminder, from one legal brain to another, that there is a section of the US Code that applies, and for which you may need to shield yourself.

It pertains to CRIMINAL FRAUD.

I have posted below the text, so you can find it rather urgently: I am persuaded that your need to protect yourself will grow eminently grander, in the hours or days to come!

Think nothing of this gesture, from ZENcentral... we enjoy helping "criminals" find the truth..Ie: Dick Pound (or Pound again), the French LNDD laboratoire, and many others!)

I know you'll be very familiar with this law, by the time your bikini wax is necessary... heh heh.
