Monica Goodling - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Investigation of Goodling's hiring practices

On May 3, 2007, the Washington Post reported that the United States Department of Justice Office of the Inspector General launched an internal probe into whether Goodling "illegally took party affiliation into account in hiring career federal prosecutors" in her work at the Department.[22]

On May 12, the New York Times published an article about Goodling repeatedly engaging in "prohibited personnel practices" while at the Justice Department. "You have a Monica problem" several Justice Department officials told Robin C. Ashton, a criminal prosecutor at the Department of Justice. "She believes you're a Democrat and doesn't feel you can be trusted."[23] Ashton was denied a promotion during Goodling's tenure, but in the Obama administration, Attorney General Eric Holder determined that she was qualified and appointed her as Counsel for Professional Responsibility, the head of the Justice Department's internal ethics unit.[24]

One week after Goodling's testimony before the House, the Department's Office of the Inspector General and Counsel for the Office of Professional Responsibility confirmed in a letter[25] to the Senate Judiciary Committee, that they were expanding their investigation beyond "the removals of United States Attorneys" to also include "DOJ hiring and personnel decisions" by Goodling and other Justice Department employees.[26]

On July 28, 2008, a Justice Department report concluded that Goodling had violated federal law and Justice Department policy by discriminating against job applicants who weren't Republican or conservative loyalists. "Goodling improperly subjected candidates for certain career positions to the same politically based evaluation she used on candidates for political positions," the report concluded. In one instance, Justice investigators found, Goodling initially objected to hiring an assistant prosecutor in Washington because "judging from his resume, he appeared to be a liberal Democrat type." In another, she rejected an experienced terrorism prosecutor to work on counterterrorism issues at a Justice Department headquarters office "because of his wife's political affiliations,". In another case, colleagues said that Goodling blocked the appointment of a female prosecutor in Washington because she "believed the lawyer was involved in a lesbian relationship with her supervisor", according to the report. "There was no romantic relationship," said Lisa Banks,[27] the attorney for Leslie Hagen, "but the rumors were pernicious and grew legs, and it cost her the job."[28] Goodling may also face a criminal investigation into her conduct.[29] Hagen has since been rehired to her old job.[30]

Attorney Gate Update: Hiring Laws Were Broken, Far and Wide

 

[edthecynic]

Actually, this is a surprisingly good post from you, BeetsAndSpinach....and
very close to being on point.
So...you seem to be documenting that a Republican administration hires Republicans!!
This is a Claude Rains moment!

Now, the item that you highlighted, was:

"put in anti-civil rights conservatives to push the "whites are being oppressed by minority voter fraud" meme"

So, if you could direct me to the part that suggests that your post documents that there exists some 'meme' re: whites are being oppressed by minority voter fraud, I would be happy to send a rep your way!


Actually, the essence of the thread is that, unlike the Obama administration, the Bush folks- whomsoever they hired- believed in race-neutral justice.

"The Bush Civil Rights Division was willing to protect all Americans from racial discrimination; during the Obama years, the Holder years, only some Americans will be protected. Americans have a right to know and judge the racial policies of the administration they elected in 2008…. In time, statistics and other information will present truth to this lie, as the Bush Civil Rights Division had a more robust civil rights agenda than the Obama Civil Rights Division. During the Bush years, the Civil Rights Division brought more cases in many areas of the law, particularly voting rights.

The Bush Justice Department never filed briefs advocating racial discrimination. In fact, the Bush Justice Department was willing to protect all citizens under the civil rights laws, and brought a handful of cases protecting non-traditional racial minorities….Because he [former chief of the Voting Section, Christopher Coates] believed in race-neutral enforcement of the civil rights laws, his powers as voting section chief were slowly sucked away by the Holder Justice Department."
Pajamas Media » PJM Exclusive: Unequal Law Enforcement Reigns at Obama’s DOJ (UPDATED: Adams Discusses this Article on Fox News) exclusive/4/

To remind, J.Christian Adams, who wrote "Injustice: Exposing the Racial Agenda of the Obama Justice Department," was attorney for the Voting Rights Section of the Department of Justice.

I would be happy to privide examples of racialist pursuits by the Obama-Holder Civil Rights Division of the Department of Justice....
...just say the word!


The same goes for Faulty Salty!

To remind, J Christian Adams has been a conservative agitator with the Federalist Society and a group sponsored by the Republican National Committee and was hired by Bradley Schlozman, a high ranking Civil Rights Division official later found to have violated hiring rules, intended to keep career civil service jobs free of politics, by considering political affiliation in an internal DOJ report.

Adams is a political hack who has no credibility.

You failed to answer her question or to provide4 evidence your claim was true. Thanks for proving you lie.

The link was provided in the post she answered, which you obviously ignored. Here it is yet again:

He is a political hack

Ms. Truthie...I see that you have worked assiduously to imply that the Bush Department of Justice hired Republicans, conservatives and right-wingers...

Well, sit down before you read this post, so you don't suffer the vapors!

Check out the Left-wing assembly!


1. “Under the Obama administration, Loretta King, acting Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights, has returned to the Clinton-era policy of hiring in the Voting Section only those who have liberal ideological or partisan backgrounds. She has made prior employment with left-wing advocacy groups a uniquely qualifying factor in hiring decisions – even for volunteers. Only leftists need apply to enforce federal election laws. The Voting Section at DOJ has seen a hiring blitz of lawyers from SEIU, Advancement Project, MALDEF, and NAACP as well as lawyers who provided pro bono representation toGuantanamodetainees. A lawsuit filed by the Pajamas Media website against Holder’s Justice Department forced the department to hand over the resumes of 16 new hires to the Voting Section of the Civil Rights Division. There is not a single lawyer with a non-ideological or conservative background.” The Left

2. The following are some of the usual suspects:

3. Anna M. Baldwin. She was a militant gay activist at Harvard, serving as a leader of the “Queer Resistance Front.”

a. Baldwin led a protest re: defunding a campus show: “Although funding was approved by the Foundation's student advisory committee, it was rejected by its faculty advisory board. Tan said he thought the rejection was probably motivated by homophobia. "Cultural diversity isn't just about a food fair," added Anna M. Baldwin '01. "The basic feeling was that [the Foundation] thought this was just a bunch of sexual crap." The event, called "Clitty Clitty Bang Bang,"…” Vaginal Davis, Holly Hughes Discuss Queer Performance Art in Ribald Evening | News | The Harvard Crimson

4. Daniel Freeman, who was named the pro-bono attorney of the year by the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee, and was a Liman Fellow at the New York Civil Liberties Union, where he zealously attacked the FBI’s counterintelligence operations. “The Most Transparent Administration in History conspicuously redacted some of Freeman’s activities while at Yale. Freeman brings the perfect partisan pedigree combined with the requisite ideological fervor to Eric Holder’s Voting Section.” Reviewing the Resumes: The Politicized Hiring of Eric Holder’s Voting Section

5. Bradley Heard came to the Obama Voting Section from the Advancement Project, a group dedicated to blocking efforts to purge voter rolls of ineligible voters and felons. He worked against Georgia’s voter ID law, as well. and founded the Georgia Voter Empowerment Project, whose stated mission is increasing the “civic participation levels of progressive-minded Georgians.”

6. Also from the Advancement Project, Elizabeth Westfall fought Florida laws designed to ensure electoral integrity. “Elizabeth Westfall is an equal opportunity donor to Democratic presidential candidates ($7,000 to Barack Obama’s 2008 presidential election campaign and $4,400 to Hillary Clinton’s 2008 presidential campaign) and worked for six years at the Advancement Project, directing its Voter Protection Program. She was also a staff attorney at the Washington Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights in its Fair Housing Group, and worked on the Hill as a legislative assistant to then-Congressman Bill Richardson (D-N.M.).”

7. More, Ibid:

Bryan Sells is a new deputy chief at DOJ’s Voting Section. For nearly 10 years he was a senior staff counsel at the ACLU Voting Rights Project, where he opposed voter ID laws and challenged states seeking to verify theU.S. citizenship of persons registering to vote. Sells has called state felon disenfranchisement laws a “slap in the face to democracy.”

At the ACLU Sells was notorious for stoking racial animus to gain courtroom advantage, the tactic described by Shelby Steele. In supporting a boycott to punish Bennett County for alleged racial discrimination against an Indian sheriff, Sells frequently comparedSouth Dakota to Alabamain 1963, bombast that greatly harmed race relations in the community. The problem was that the sheriff who was removed from office was indicted on more than a dozen charges.

Meredith Bell-Platts is the other new deputy chief in the Voting Section. She also is a 10-year veteran of the ACLU’s Voting Rights Project, where she attacked voter ID requirements as intended to prevent African-Americans from voting. Bell-Platts lost every challenge to Georgia’s voter ID law.

Jenigh Garrett was for five years an assistant counsel at the NAACP LDF. She co-drafted an amicus brief in Crawford v. Marion County Board of Elections (2008) arguing that voter ID laws are unconstitutional (a position the Supreme Court rejected in an opinion by Justice John Paul Stevens).

Catherine Meza interned for the NAACP LDF, the ACLU of Northern California, MALDEF, and Centro Legal de la Raza.

Kelli Reynolds managed the NAACP’s National Redistricting Project.

Elise Shore worked for the Southern Coalition for Social Justice and was a regional counsel for MALDEF. Shore’s advocacy at MALDEF was largely responsible for the Department of Justice blocking Georgia’s law to verify that only citizens are registering to vote. DOJ invoked Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act, which Shore now enforces.


As a good American, believing in race-neutral justice, I bet you can't wait to get rid of both Obama and Holder, right???

Ms. Truthie...where are you???

Didn't you like how I exposed the far-Left slant of the Obama-Holder Voting Rights Section of the Department of Justice?

Oh, I know....you're too busy...you have so much work to do, what with the burden of defending the indefensible...

So...I'm gonna help! Here, let me write what I'm sure a fine American like you would write...then you can simply add "What she said..."


I'll put in all those objectionable aspects, such as..

"policy of hiring in the Voting Section only those who have liberal ideological or partisan backgrounds"

"prior employment with left-wing advocacy groups a uniquely qualifying factor in hiring"

"Voting Section at DOJ has seen a hiring blitz of lawyers from SEIU, Advancement Project, MALDEF, and NAACP as well as lawyers who provided pro bono representation to Guantanamo detainees."

"managed the NAACP’s National Redistricting Project"

"responsible for the Department of Justice blocking Georgia’s law to verify that only citizens are registering to vote"


Wow....so..wadda ya think? Did I convice you that the Obama-Holder folks are far from even handed, and, in fact have politicized the DOJ beyond belief?


I never use the term, 'poliltical hack'...but you must admit, never would be more approporiate than this DOJ.....right?

So, did I help you out, Ms.Truthie?

No thanks necessary!
