Kyle Sampson (Gonzo's former Chief of Staff) is warming up his vocal chords

It looks he's going to sing like a canary when he testifies on Thursday, and while Gonzo's White House liaison Monica Goodling is pleading the fifth out of concern for her own accountability - a rare and novel trait in this administration - according to his lawyer
"Kyle plans to testify fully, truthfully and publicly," said Bradford Berenson of Sidley Austin. "Hearings in a highly politicized environment like this can sometimes be a game of 'gotcha,' but Kyle has decided to trust the Congress and the process."
The Hill
What he has to say may not be an earth shattering bombshell, but it's sure not going to make Gonzales life any easier either.
Sampson will set off some fireworks by contradicting a key assurance that Gonzales made to Congress and the American public last Tuesday that he was not in the loop during the long deliberations leading up to the firings.

Gonzales probably spoke to Sampson 20 times a day, and had a morning management meeting daily on a range of issues with Sampson and other key officials also involved in the U.S. Attorney deliberations. Gonzales had delegated the replacement plan for U.S. Attorneys largely to Sampson and was monitoring it at "the 30,000 feet level," Sampson's associate says. But Sampson will testify that the Attorney General not only discussed the idea while he was still White House counsel and signed off at the end, but also was "aware of the arc of the whole process" in between, says this source.
US News
It looks like some people have been paying attention to the Scooter Libby affair, and have decided not to take the fall for the crimes, deceipts, arrogance and incompetence of their bosses. It's our guess that Goodling knows she could be in trouble, and that as I type this, her lawyers are behind the scenes working out an immunity deal with Leahy before speaking out.

In the meantime, while we're not big fans of karaoke, we're very much looking forward to hearing Kyle sing.
