Rep. William Lacy Clay questions Doan on whether she was accusing her employees of lying to investigators:
Rep. Clay:
“Later in your interview [with OSC] you explain why you don’t believe the testimony of the other GSA officials, according to the transcript you stated that the witnesses were not crdible because ‘they have an axe to grind,’ that’s on page 391. They have an axe to grind so therefore they are not telling the truth, that’s what you meant isn’t it?”
Doan:
“No, that is not what I meant. We’re still in the period of subjection… conjection… conjecture…”
Chairman Henry Waxman questions Doan on apparent inconsistencies in her statements:
Chairman Waxman:
“At our March hearing, you repeatedly claimed you could not recall any information about the January 26, 2007 meeting or the White House political presentation, and you had absolutely no memory of asking GSA employees how they could help Republican candidates in upcoming elections. That’s what you told us. We questioned you over and over again. You remember there were cookies, you remembered you came in late, you remembered that some employees didn’t attend, but beyond that you said you had no further information. Five weeks later you testified before the Office of Special Counsel and suddenly you had a new enriched details about the meeting and your statements…”
