They are not people who feel the need to justify actions when they can use brute political power to get what they want through. This was just thug professional courtesy.
I thought citizenship was a 10% chance of flushing the Obummer down the political drain. I think the chances of something illegal, unethical, scandalous, etc. are a far greater likelihood.
I guess the question is, why didn’t they throw these few guys under the bus? The were caught red-handed, and there is video evidence for people to see—which many of us saw at the time.
I think the answer is that Eric Holder is powerdrunk and overconfident to the point of stupidity. Conservatives know him for what he is, the the MSM seems to prefer to avoid talking about him.
This case has weakened Holder and has further weakened Obama. Was it worth taking so much damage to keep a couple of dumb thugs out of jail for a few months? If this were a properly run organization like the Mafia, they’d just tell their soldiers to take the hit for being dumb enough to let people take pictures of them doing something so openly stupid.
But I think Obama needs Holder in that job and might have trouble replacing him. And Holder is dumb.
I believe that O actually believed that his nationalizing the auto industry and banks would combine with the nationalization of health care to kindle a massive wave of popular support for Marxist reform.
One caution I would make is that part of Obama's lack of support come from the left who don't like his half measures and "war" policy.
Keep up the pressure on the Obamanation.
Be patient, the AG will be answering questions as soon as a new Congress is seated. I would imagine any snafus related to archiving correspondence incorrectly have already been seen to. Expect the Hillary response: “I do not recollect.”
