Will Republicans let Eric Holder get away with murder?

When Eric Holder ordered Justice Department Inspector General Cynthia Schnedar to begin an investigation of possible wrongdoing in Operation Fast and Furious it was with just one purpose in mind—enable the Attorney General and other DOJ officials to refuse to answer questions or provide documentation concerning the “gunwalking” debacle because there is an “ongoing investigation.”

It’s a neat little legal trick the Obama Regime has pulled on more than one occasion.

But although Holder used this dodge of his own creation to keep congressional committee members at bay for nearly a year, it appears the OIG report is just about ready to make its long overdue appearance.

For Holder and his DOJ minions have telegraphed the fact that they might already have, to put it discreetly, “been privy” to information contained in the document.

And the reason this is a safe bet is that “…three of the prime Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms players in the Fast and Furious gunwalking scandal have been relieved of their duties.” (1)

Two of the three, William Hoover, former Deputy Director of the ATF and Mark Chait, former Assistant Director of Field Operations had already been shuffled into new positions some months ago.

William McMahon, former Deputy Assistant Director of Field Operations had not been part of that occupational shell game, but now joins Chait and Hoover on the sidelines, probably awaiting the final publication of the report which will publically determine their ultimate fate.

That Holder was no doubt given advance notice of Schnedar’s findings is highly unethical, but certainly not surprising.

The two have been friends and work-mates for many years and are, of course, fellow leftists.

The real questions involve what will happen now! Will the OIG report come out immediately prior to Eric Holder’s February 2nd appearance before Issa...

In simple English : ABSOLUTELY the Republicans will be zipless f*cks, so what if the entire Dept. of Justice is dirty from the Attorney General on down! Why should Republicans expend effort & political capitol to remedy the situation. Because it would be the right & honost thing to do & THAT is why it won’t be allowed to happen.
