Blown wide open an exaggeration, since those currently running the justice system in America won't lift a finger against criminals whose actions benefit them. I think that's called a criminal conspiracy, but one above the law for now. A Republican Senate will help, and I speculate a number of interesting pardons should a Republican President be elected. Perhaps even if it's a Dem.

Yep !! It's another Watergate.

Attorney General Holder will get right on it.

As soon as he finishes his investigations into Fast & Furius and Benghazi.

I agree. Blown wide open is an exaggeration.

Issa is still sitting on his ars. The whole House is numb and worthless with Bonehead crying his eye out in fear. America is in its final stages of becoming a totally communists dictatorship and King Obama has an armed to the teeth brown shirts. Example the BLM, TSA, and the Homeland Security as well as other like the DOJ under Holder. It might just be too late to recover the King Obama destruction of America.

I guess we need to change the meaning of ‘smidgen’.

Until ABC, CBS, NBC, cover this story IN DETAIL, it can not be considered “Blown Wide Open”!!

As long as Holder is AG, none of these crimes will be prosecuted.

” Perhaps even if it’s a Dem.”

I work or come in contact with several ultra liberal attorneys, doctors, businessmen and know a few local professors here in California that are NOT happy with what they’re seeing politically; Observations about what they would normally call “Their Side”.

Several of them are circulating chain emails with stories on Bundy, the IRS, the Justice Dept, The TSA, gov’t spending, foreign policy etc where I get to be privy to their comments.

My only comments to them is that they are starting to sound like Tea Partiers (What they accuse me of being).

The music to my ears is that they seem to be as stubborn in wanting to fight these policies as they used to be about fighting (Poor outnumbered) me. There is an attitude change happening.

As I actually know many of these people well, my take is they are all still typical liberal do gooders. But, they are figuring out that something is drastically wrong. They are growing more and more suspicious of what they have blindly supported.

Also interesting is the fact that they are expanding their normal source of gathering information beyond The NYT, the Wash Post etc. and sending links they pull from various sources that are new to them. They’re realizing this is what they have to do to find out what the heck is going on.

When I think back 45 years ago when I was a dumb a$$ liberal myself the straw that broke my belief system was realizing I had been lied to, suckered.

I then realized most conservatives actually did want a fair and just world, cared about the needy and other things but relied on themselves and communities to deal with those issues, not government. Also that redistribution doesn’t work, you need a string military, points I never hesitate to drill into this group.

I gotta say from my perspective I’m startled at what I’m witnessing from my local observation point and can only hope this is happening more widespread then just my circle.

Larry Noble is the Executive Director of the Center for Responsive Politics (see here for Democracy Project’s take on the place Noble and CRP occupy in Pew-funded reform universe). In that capacity he is often heard to decry the long history of FEC ineffectiveness - drawing a salary, btw from unnamed and undisclosed donations. Interesting only because Noble is, well, pretty enthusiastic about disclosure for everyone else. What he fails to remind his audiences is that from 1987 to 2000 Noble was the chief legal eagle at the FEC. In fact, he began working at the agency in 1977.

Noble is a true-believer in Progressive political reform (read: using the power and force of government to restrict and proscribe political activity). We all have political and ideological views, to be sure. Perhaps the more devastating criticism of Noble should be for his complete and utter lack of administrative ability and judgment he displayed while at the Commission.

To add insult to injury, things improved dramatically after Noble’s departure in 2000.

Noble’s questionable leadership and judgment extended to his choices about legal strategy. Noble would pursue radical legal theories, and take on big cases with volumes of discovery (and expense both for respondents at the Commission) where the law was, at best, unsettled. This could have only diverted resources better used in public education and disclosure, and fostered a poor record in the courts. The only justification I can think of for such an approach is if you believe your primary mission as General Counsel is to accumulate more authority for the Commission through investigative and judicial proceedings - far beyond simply enforcing law.

The Noble record in a nutshell: In his 23 years at the Commission he pursued marginal legal theories, resisted extending procedural rights to respondents, and managed the General Counsel’s office into a morass of delayed justice. Since his departure, the FEC is handling more cases; handling them quicker; the backlog of “stale” cases is gone; more and larger fines are levied, all while providing more due process. Marginal court cases are not clogging the litigation calendar.

How can it be blown wide open when the public won’t know about it. Watergate was all day everyday in the media for two years.

Why has nothing shown up on the alphabet agencies that showed up at True the Vote headquarters? Somebody had to give them information.
