>Why cant they hang the whole thing on Melson?<
because Melson already implicated Holder among many more
After listening to the hearings with Newell and McMahon dissembling like crazy, it is apparent that at least those two sleazy characters do not know what Melson has revealed to the Issa committee. Eventually, if the questioning is done properly, men like Newell and McMahon will realize that continuing to dissemble under oath will result in their being indicted and the real criminal scum of the obanoccio administration skating over their corpses.
