Well, it’s right there.

O will only protect those who ‘acted reasonably *and* relied on legal advice from the DoJ’.

All that necessary is to define the people O wants to prosecute as having ‘acted unreasonably’ and the ‘protection’ instantly evaporates.

Affirmative, Posted Articles are oming up without a reply function. Also I am getting messages that “requested docs are not found on this server.”

Maybe FR is under attack. Or maybe its a server overload as people log on after dinner in the East.

Who knows. Its wait and see as usual.

At a senior level like this, if there is a serious impasse over policy, then resignation is the correct and honorable course.

Right. When is ‘the time?’ It would have been before the electoral college voted, imho. Or perhaps before the November election.

Makes absolutely no sense in banking on that.

I’ve been hearing all day that his resignation is imminent - keep hearing that he’s livid about this kangaroo investigation by that racist Eric Holder.....if he does, in fact, resign then he will go up a little in my estimation of him.....and I don’t think Hillary will be far behind....I still think she’s going to quit before the end of the year and then challenge Hugo in 2012.....

Looks like the only member of this abysmal administration with an ounce of integrity is now leaving. Wonderful.

I introduced my significant other to Sfogliatelle last week and she was impressed. BTW: Madonia on Arthur and 186 makes the best cannoli in the United States. Worth a trip, especially if you are going to the Bronx Zoo nearby.

When you think about it, the entire cabinet might as well resign and go home now that 0bama has his shadow cabinet in place with a group of tax dodgers, admited commies and xcons. Glenn Beck is on to something.

Looks like they are working on it.

It seems replies would go to the server, but not show up

Now they are here.

At least for now.

LOL

When Panetta came out swinging after the first Pelosi accusation many people in the Agency were shocked and pleased.

I don’t think they’ll blame him for resigning.

No question Hillary will make a move againt zero in 2010. His numbers are tanking so she could have a good chance to unseat him.

Bill Colby, and this article draws parallels between his death and that of Vince Foster.

Thanks for the updates...funny, here in Vegas, the major talk radio station went of the air for at least 45 mins. that I know of right after Hannity came on.

With the climate we're in today, I hate to admit it, but the mind can certainly wonder....

LOL! I tried that on another thread & was told ‘Document no longer existed’ on server. Over & Over. I thought FR moved & forgot to tell me.

You should have heard the wheels turning in my brain figuring out why I had been banned.

Wondering if spooks ever make mischief on a CIA thread. Just kidding, sort of.
