I certainly can’t correct you, but correct me if I’m wrong, the difference between the Plame affair and this one is that a federal prosecutor had been appointed and he had a grand jury set up for collecting evidence. Holder has not budged an inch on the IRS case.
In my opinion (a small minority opinion here at FR) is that this is all adding pressure to force the issue with the injustice department. This coming week there are two ancillary events. On Thursday, as I recall a judge is set to entertain a motion from Judicial Watch concerning the spoliation of evidence. Then on Friday another federal judge considers an urgent motion for expedited discovery (as I recall) in the True the Vote litigation, also in regard to the spoliation of evidence. From what I was reading last week, both cases are looking pretty strong.
If Koskinen is wanting to “correct” his previous testimony he knows that he has set himself up for perjury and he wants to weasel his way out. He may not want to hang Lerner out to dry, but it sure beats finding himself being hung out to dry.
This one might get real hot real fast, but might get eclipsed by the illegal wave, or the fall of Baghdad for that matter . . . .
Seems to me that the big news is Issa saying she has
already been referred for criminal prosecution, now the
ball in in Holders court, what will he do???
So, Mizz Lerner may not escape jail time by taking the Fifth as a protection.
The rest of your post is spot on.
