"There's a crime called misprision of a felony. Misprision of a felony is when you don't report a crime. So you're getting into pretty deep areas here in these considerations." -- U.S. Senator Arlen Specter on March 12, 2010
"Right now, they're doing the 'I won't confirm or deny,' and for us, it leaves two possibilities. One is the promise of transparency in this administration is just shot. The second one is even worse, which is either Sestak is lying or the administration has done something wrong and is covering it up…" -- U.S. Congressman Darryl Issa on Friday on March 12, 2010
"The 'stonewall strategy' functioned from the very first episodes of the cover-up. It was instinctive, from the very top of the Administration to the bottom. It was also ad hoc, developed in small reactions to the flurry of each day's events…we found ourselves trying to hold a line where we could." -- Nixon White House Counsel John Dean in his Watergate book Blind Ambition
Here we go again.
Even as the drama of health care carries the headlines, beneath the surface, visible now, the iceberg of scandal ripples.
First, the timeline on the blossoming scandal upon which we will now officially fix the dreaded "gate" descriptive. Jobsgate.

Interesting article.
It is worth reading the entire six pages.
........the heat begins to rise as Arlen Specter steps into the middle of all this on Friday......
Translation....”not me, I had nothing to do with it.”
“Impeach Barack Obama.”
Yep, cut to the chase.
Take the House in November and then start the action.
did you read the whole article?
Rep Issa is on the case and has done quite well.
he is the Republicans
Woodward and Bernstein were made rich and famous for tracking down the dirt on Nixon and his crew.
Are there ANY news folk out there with the moxie to go after obammy and his crew
Good post bestintxas, thanks.
Nothing will happen,
Until House Donks figure out
Losing ‘Bam helps them...
And then, suddenly,
They’ll “discover” this scandal,
And draft articles...
Isn't there an investigative journalist out there somewhere who wants to go down in history? Win a Pulitzer? Come on media..... do your job. Do you all think you and your families will be exempt from a bankrupt nation? Do you all think you will not be affected by obamacare? Grow a spine and do your job. Bush is yesterday. Time to move on. This is a new day and a corrupt, in your face administration.
Felonies didn’t bring down the last Dem administration. Why should this time be any different?
And then, suddenly,
They’ll “discover” this scandal,

Or they will turn a blind eye procedurally and let the GOP do it, because they still believe that GOP "persecution" of clinton lead to their own victories in the past. This allows them to keep their base fired up and get rid of Obama at the same time.
And the MSM completes the 3 monkeys (see no evil; hear no evil; speak no evil) scene...
Lets get Geraldo, on the job. /sarc (sort of)
Exactly adn very well said jersey117
“Felonies didn’t bring down the last Dem administration. Why should this time be any different?”
This is my initial response as well. BUT, obama is no Bill Clinton. The dems would jump cliffs for him, but I don’t know if they will for obama.
......Isn’t there an investigative journalist out there ....
The article clearly pointed out that Major Garrett is on the case and prosecuting it daily. He is forcing the issue and in the process making Gibbs a criminal
The other difference is Clinton had talent, and could and would actually swing t the center to protect himself. Obama is an empty suit and an ideologue and pretty dumb compared to Bubba.
You are right. It is stunning and revealing. Gibbs knows or has been told how to answer and does not deviate.
Garrett is one of the few. However, the last time he got aggressive, the WH went after FNC. Fox has since tempered their criticism of the one.
No. They won’t wake up now. It will be like the 3-ring circus when Clinton was impeached. It will result in nothing.
Kinda like Hilary and her 900+ FBI files ain’t it? Or Bills lying to a Grand Jury. Remember how much you loved them, how popular they was, would lie for them at the drop of a hat, yes, there were CRIMES commited in the Klintons’ whitehouse too.
