You have a good point there. The talking heads will listen to the old gasbag and this story may finally get some traction in the MSM.
Thanks for the ping!
McCain was so bad that he made Dole look like an authentic opponent to Clinton during the Clinton re-election campaign.
When he gets his pug-ugly face in a television camera and says he's going to demand hearings to find out what's going on, I might take him a bit more seriously.
With the GOP in the minority in the Senate, good luck with that. The Senate won't touch it unntil Holder is impeached. That's why Senator Grassley from Iowa is sitting in on Issa's House hearings.
OK, if he’d be willing to sit in on Issa’s hearings with Sen. Grassley that would be a major indication that he’s taking things seriously.
But a tweet? Gimmee a break.
Loser
Get back to your room Juan and take your meds.
As soon as the committee chairman, Sen. Pat Leahy (D-VT), gets around to it.
In other words, the Senate will sit on its hands until after January, 2013.
Leahy is why the committee's rnking member, Senator Grassley (R-IA), is participating in Issa's probe.
Just because she wasn’t doesn’t mean it COULDN’T have been done (or couldn’t still be done considering you’d be possibly charging her with murder - no statute of limitations).
Got it, thanks... It’s not something I’ve looked into very much. Must rectify that. Also, regarding a statute of limitations I’m sure Issa will be trying for something a little more substantive than perjury charges. The perjury just lends more credibility to the call for an independent prosecutor.
One more question; couldn’t Obama put him on administrative leave or something and appoint a prosecutor? Someone on another thread was mentioning that Obama could do something of the sort. The reason I ask is that I’m wondering if Obama is going to try to pin all of it on Holder assuming that Holder will keep his mouth shut?
Thanks again.
Ruby Ridge occurred during the GHWB administration. I think William Barr was the AG at the time.
But nobody was held responsile ffor that travesty, either.
You’re right.
AG’s never are held accountable, are they?
Obama's fingerprints are all over this. He needs Holder to stay put and shut up. The pardons will start to issue around January 19, 2013.
McCain’s asking for Senate hearings because, well, when have Senate hearings ever accomplished anything of substance?
Ut, oh. Holder better start worrying. John McCain has tweeted about him.
Actually yes, John Mitchell, Nixon’s AG was charged with some crime regaining campaign funds I believe.
Anyone think Holder has iron clad protection here because of his knowledge of the IWON’s potential problems. Right now, it is the only thing keeping him out of jail IMO.
>This story has been running for over a year and only now it is getting legs.<
I think that is fine. If it had been getting attention thsi whole time, people would be sick of it. As it is this may be pre-mature. Now they will have to move against Holder to keep it fresh.
>Look for Holder to stonewall until the last days of Obama’s presidency. Then Obama will grant him an unconditional pardon.<
Won’t happen. There is no way that they will be able to dog and pony it that long.
