I didn't even remember having written anything about Ms. Johnson, so I had to do a little digging myself.
Ms. Johnson is the friend of Ms. Goodling who vouched for her faithfulness. A little Googling also reveals that Ms. Johnson is listed on the Ashcroft Group Team as a Senior Advisor. Hey! I'd actually forgotten about Mr. Ashcroft. Like Rumsfeld, when he fell out of the White House, he may as well have fallen out of existence.
So, just what is the Ashcroft Group?
Well, its website tab "Services" gives us this info:
Building on their experience leading the Department of Justice’s prosecution of highly publicized corporate scandals, the Ashcroft team has proven strategies to identify and execute solutions to major corporate issues. We work closely with top corporate integrity professionals to craft, implement and review the best practices in the following corporate disciplines:
Does that mean they'll show corporations how to stay under the scandal radar since they know where the prosecutorial traps lie?
Former U.S. attorney general John D. Ashcroft, whose tenure saw the creation of a burgeoning homeland security industry, has emerged as the highest-ranking former Bush administration official to lobby for and invest in companies in that field.
Not ashamed of passing through the revolving door, is he?
During his tenure, Ashcroft championed expanded federal powers to conduct surveillance in counterterrorism investigations. Now, he said, he wants the intelligence and law enforcement agencies to be aided by the tech world's "best of breed."
I just don't have anything to say about that.
If you need the Group's services, you can contact them from the website, but I don't know if they're still up and running. The last date I see, on the news page, is from last year: Washingtonian, Nov. 2006, Ashcroft Unleashes His Inner Speed Demon.
And I don't have anything to say about that, either.
But I do wonder what that person at the DoJ is looking for. Just running a complete check on Monica Goodling, including all her friends, to see where the hidden traps lie? Lining up character witnesses?
....hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
