The face of the Gunwalker Cover-up. No, not the one on the left, the one on the right with the big mallet.
The night of the first day at Shiloh, when the battle had gone so very wrong for the Union, William Tecumseh Sherman encountered his commander Ulysses S. Grant under a tree, sheltering himself from the pouring rain. He was smoking a cigar while considering his losses and planning what had to be done for the following day. Sherman remarked, "Well, Grant, we've had the devil's own day, haven't we?" Grant looked up. "Yes," he replied, followed by a puff. "Yes. Lick 'em tomorrow, though.
"Lick 'em tomorrow, though."
Yesterday was the devil's own day in the Gunwalker scandal investigation and the search for the truth suffered as a result. Several sources tell Sipsey Street that the committee's work has been slowed by the intervention of Speaker of the House John Boehner, with some saying plainly that "the fix is in."
Several sources close to the investigation, have "gone dark," no longer speaking on conditions of anonymity because they have been warned that to do so will be at the risk of their jobs, Prior to the hearing, this silence was represented to some that the committee was ready to exercise a "nuclear option," in the phrase of one, so Holder would have no warning of any evidence said to have been gathered by the investigation.
Considered in the cold light of day, such reports have to be considered as the worst hyperbole, if not deliberate disinformation. "Some 'nuclear option,'" said one. "More like a Black Cat" (a small firecracker).
Said one person very familiar with the investigation:
As for yesterday . . . (it was) a plea bargain of sorts where both

No big surprise here, we all knew this was probably coming.
If this goes down, it demonstrates that there are many Republicans lifers in Congress who really need to be retired.
There is no difference between the two parties but for a few members here or there. they all laugh at us behind closed doors for buying into their shell game.
Only an abject moron buys into this WWF fake wrestling bs skit they put on for the gullible public.
I hope this is not true.
But I must admit it would be just the sort of thing that Boner would do.
We called it yesterday. And Issa practically confirmed it on Greta last night. It ends here. G-d help us.
It’s been the Devils pown day here.
First a Judge in Georgia sold us out after he led us on, then Boehner killing Fast & Furious.
It’s coming. With Romney probably our candidate for President, and Obama winning the Presidency, and going whole hog in his lame duck term to destroy America, It is coming.
It’s not going to be pretty.
Boehner has turned out to be pretty pathetic. This is so sad and infuriating.
Boehner needs to go.
We have a lot more media now. Now is the time to strike, but it sounds like Boehner is caving.
No doubt the Brookings institute did a confidential study saying that the people cannot take the truth, and that the country would be in grave peril if it were revealed.
What a wimp.
“warned that to do so will be at the risk of their jobs”
There you have it. They are patriots and righteous men unless it threatens their life-long gravy train.
I remember some old poorly done movie about Rome, boring beyond belief except for one scene. A small army had been put together by some insiders set on restoring Rome to the former glory of her days as a Republic. As they marched towards the city, a small band of corrupt officials procured some gold coins from the treasury, and rode out to meet them. When they met the troops, they implied that it might be better not to proceed, and threw all of the gold coins on the ground around the troops, who immediately dropped their weapons, ran to get the coins, and then scurried off home with the loot.
What did Issa say?
That they would allow holder to plead the fifth and just leave the government. Walk away free. That effectively ends any further investigation and guarantees it will go no higher..
That is infuriating !
Gnip
This is infuriating .
demonstrating, yet once again , the absolute necessity for the dismantling of the Federal DC apparatus to the survival of these United States
