Goodling Says Dep. Attorney General ‘Incomplete or Inaccurate’ in Regard to ‘Vote Caging’ Allegations About Karl Rove Aide
Says DAG Paul McNulty Withheld Knowledge of Tim Griffin’s Involvement in Challenging Minority Voter Registration in 2004
Former Rove Aide Griffin Posted to U.S. Attorney Position in Arkansas…
From Monica Goodling’s opening statement to the U.S. House Judiciary Committee this morning [emphasis added]:
Despite my and others’ best efforts, [Deputy Attorney General, Paul McNulty]’s public testimony was incomplete or inaccurate in a number of respects. As explained in more detail in my written remarks, I believe that the Deputy was not fully candid about his knowledge of White House involvement in the replacement decision, failed to disclose that he had some knowledge of the White House’s interest in selecting Tim Griffin as Interim U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Arkansas, inaccurately described the Department’s internal assessment of the Parsky Commission, and failed to disclose that he had some knowledge of allegations that Tim Griffin had been involved in vote “caging” during his work on the President’s 2004 campaign.
The RNC agreed to cease the practice in a 1986 consent decree in a court case brought after they had “tried to have 31,000 voters, most of them black, removed from the rolls in Louisiana when a party mailer was returned, ” according to the Washington Post.
