Nobody in the political class is going to touch this - at least not the democrats, because they can all be implicated. Berg filed his suit before the dem convention so the entire democratic leadership was put on notice and not one of them did a thing to ensure that the Constitution was obeyed. Anybody who held Constitutional office made an oath to defend the Constitution. None of them would, including Hillary.

At this point she can’t be a friend of this issue because it would roast her as well as him. When she accepted a position in his administration she burned all those bridges, going from potentially innocent to being an enabler who violated her oath as Senator.

If we really wanted to clean out Congress and start over, this issue could probably do it. But that’s probably why nobody in Congress will investigate this; it would roast them all. They have to pretend that they care about the rule of law now, after steadily ignoring the pleas of their constituents who have informed them of things they should have acted upon long ago.

I suppose they can use this memo as an excuse to ignore the information they received from the public. I hope this guy has wide shoulders because if this issue gets addressed the entire Congress may pointing their fingers at him.

Was the CRS Office one of the bodies whose inspector general was ditched? There were a bunch of them where Obama’s people threw out the IG because they were noticing problems. When I went to try to contact Jack Maskell (the guy who wrote this memo) via the Congressional Research Service site I ended up on a contact page for the Library of Congress. I’m pretty sure the Library of Congress was involved in some kind of power scuffle with the Obama administration.

Wasn’t there something, too, where the Congressional Budget Office and the Congressional Research Service were at odds over the net budget effect of the healthcare bill? Maybe I’m mixed up.
