I think you may be missing the point. The entire point of Holder/DoJ investigating is to distract from the extensive littany of Obama's failures in the remaining months up to the 2014 mid-term elections.
Truth is, Holder "investigating" ISIS beheading an American Journalist really shines a spotlight on Obama's complete and total failure in Foreign Policy and the pursuit of those who seek to harm this country directly.
Why, an enterprising young Conservative running for office somewhere in this country would use that in a commercial against his Democrat Obama-enabling rival!
I hadn’t thought about the “distraction” factor. Thanks.
This administration seems to seek every very slight opportunity to distract from whatever is important.
