Responding to Rep. Artur Davis’ questions, Goodling concedes that Attorney General Gonzales gave inaccurate testimony three times.

Mr. Davis: Ms. Goodling, General Gonzales testified that he never saw the US Attorneys list, the list of terminated US Attorneys. Is that accurate to your knowledge, Ms. Goodling?
Ms. Goodling: I believe he did see a list.
Mr. Davis: So if General Gonzales testified that he didn’t see the list, you believe that would be inaccurate testimony on his part, don’t you?
Ms. Goodling: Um, I believe he saw the list.
Mr. Davis: So therefore you believe it would be inaccurate testimony?
Ms. Goodling: Yes
Mr. Davis: If General Gonzales testified that he had never been briefed about the list, do you believe that would be accurate or inaccurate testimony?
Ms. Goodling: I believe it would be inaccurate.
Mr. Davis: Are there any other inaccuracies in the testimony that General Gonzales gave the Senate that you are able to share with us?
Ms. Goodling: I don’t know that I saw all of it.
Mr. Davis: Let me help you a little bit with on other one. The Attorney General testified that he was not involved with any discussions of the U.S. Attorney firings. Do you believe that to be accurate or inaccurate?
Ms. Goodling: He was certainly at the November 27th meeting.
Mr. Davis: So you believe that to be another piece of inaccurate testimony, don’t you, Ms. Goodling?
Ms. Goodling: Yes.
