The corruption is at historic levels.

Can't last much longer.

Holder should be extradicted to Mexico to stand trial.

Issa seems to be laying a solid foundation, and meticulously working his way up the food chain.

We could use an ill-tempered special prosecutor about now.

I don’t really see this going anywhere. The law breakers and the law enforcers play for the same team. The media will run cover for them until the next Casey Anthony type sensation comes along (and it will) to enthrall the masses and this will all blow over. We’ve all seen it time and time again...why should this be any different? The only way we may hear of this again is if it serves the purposes of the evil left; say for instance a white man, in a white van, were to shoot a bunch of minorities or illegal aliens. Then the cries for bans would ensue and the origin of the gun would be lost in the chaos. That’s what they were actually hoping for.

I would not be quite so dismissive of this letter. If you read this letter carefully, it constitutes a very heavy shot across the bow for the Obama (mal)administration.

First and foremost, it strongly indicates that the Obama (mal)administration tried to pull a thug move by "silencing" acting director Melson rather than trying to "buy" him off. That is, they got really scared, panicked, and decided to try and muzzle him and, most likely, tar and feather him in public and then push him out.

That this was their tactic is implied by the repeated statements that no federal officer can be prevented from speaking to Congress, and the repeated "encouragement" to the DOJ to be forthright and to refrain from taking any retaliatory action against Melson.

Also, Melson appears to have been savvy enough - probably with some instigation by Issa - to end-run the effort to neuter and isolate him by secretly talking to Issa first without the DOJ's prior knowledge.

Second, the fact that the letter says repeatedly that Melson's testimony is corroborated by other info. Issa's committee has learned from other sources is an indirect way of saying that Melson has some really goodies that he's either given them, or that he's given them the clues needed to find on their own.

Third, the statements about how it "appears" that DOJ was stonewalling the committee, molding and editing the information provided to the committee, and intentionally preventing some personnel from coming forward is a serious warning that there will likely be referrals for criminal prosecution unless the DOJ starts cooperating fully.

This is a pretty serious letter, and is akin to a move in chess that shifts things from the opening game to the middle game. As Holmes would have said, the game's afoot.

Corruption comes in all skin colors!

If Holder knew then his Boss knew...

Someone is gonna be burnt at the stake for this one.

And it ain't gonna be Barry Hussein.

My Prediction: "Mr. Holder is gonna be taking a trip soon, climb aboard the Obama Express Eric! Next stop... "Under the Bus"

Another point Melson clarified for investigators was that the ATF group carrying out the mission of Operation Fast and Furious was placed under the direction of the Arizona U.S. Attorney’s office. The U.S. Attorney in Arizona, Dennis Burke, is a political appointee of the Obama administration. The direction to place this operation under the US attorney and not the BATF would have come from Holder.

Holder has a problem. The US Attorney reports to Holder. That US attorny did not dream up this game. Holder had to be in the loop and thus probably Obama.

I think that Melson believes that Obama & company plan on him to be the scape goat & he has decided to let somebody higher up the food chain be the goat .

All this right after it comes out in the press that the Mexican govt. wants to try those responsible in Mexican courts & send folks to Mexican prisons . I don’t believe this is a coincidence .
