7 of 76 Goodling's hand written notes indicate that "WH [White House] cleared".
"DoJ put the list together of problematic people; sent to WH; WH cleared"
Look at fifth line below " Reasons?", "Was Pres [President] told about this?"
___ Why doesn't GOodling, who was DoJ-WH liaison, not understand this?
It doe snot make sens for Goodling to say, in her role as liaison to be confused about the White House. It looks as though GOodling has discussed the DoJ role -- presumably including the Attorney General meeting, decision -- and has fatally asserted in writing that the President approved the decision.
Or are we to believe that the "White House clearing" something does not include the President who supposedly is "the decider"?
