It appears this was all Kabuki. We grew so frustrated at FR with Issa’s inaction. It appears the schedule is set for a major scandal to blow up in Baby-Doc’s face this summer.
We should revel in the coming pleasure of the old media's attempt to turn this away from the Kenyan usurper.
Enjoy my FRiends, ENJOY!
But will it blow up enough to blow them out of office? If not, it will just incite sympathy from the true racist Democrats and lib-dependent voters, with the Moonbat Media’s enormous help.
And after the Republican Presidential Primary elections are pretty much over so it does not distract from or damage the prospects of Republican candidates.
In order to have a clear cut case of cover up and obstruction of justice, it really helps to have documented a long term pattern of concealment, cover up, witness intimidation and obstruction of justice. Issa has had the damaging evidence against the players of Fast and Furious for a while now, they have been letting Holder and others dig their graves on the cover up and obstruction of justice charges.
All timed to play out perfectly in synch with the pace of the elections. Possibly with a Special Prosecutor appointment and/or indictments in the Fall. Holder really screwed up the time line on this case - it's better to come clean early and get bad news out sooner than later.
This is straight out of Democrat text book Scandal Management 101 and Holder learned his lessons well during the Clinton scandals so the fact that he took this course action suggests that the facts of the case are so damming that the only hope was to try to stonewall and kick the can past Jan 20 ,2013 and hope for an Obama re election and for the Democrats to re take the House and hold the Senate to kill or control any investigation.
