Imagine a scenario in which the media outlet most afflicted with Barack Obama Sycophancy Syndrome (BOSS) – the place Chris ‘thrill up my leg’ Matthews calls home – presented a ’smoking gun’ that could implicate the Obama White House in a cover-up akin to that of Watergate but with the added scarlet letter of murder.

The “manual” was leaked to Isikoff as the Justice Department’s Office of Inspector General (OIG) was wrapping up a report that was critical of the ATF’s efforts to stem the flow of weapons to cartels.

Hard to top the strange death of Betty Currie’s brother, the 900 raided FBI files [Craig Livingston], and targeted IRS audits — courtesy Bill Clinton. And Hillary called for an internet gatekeeper to suppress talk about Monica.
Would it be more accurate to say that the LAST TWO democrat regimes are the worst to punish whistle blowers — even worse than the Sedition Acts?
Republicans could hurt Obama with this.
