Obstruction of justice until civil war or death of America.
The list, ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
Darrell may just as well get the House SWAT team in training, ‘cuz this subpoena is going to be given all the respect due to a bucket of cold spit.
Issa may be more of a problem for the DOJ and the administration than Grassley. The Repubs do control the House (hard to realize, I know considering their behavior of late) and Issa doesn’t have serious skin in the ethanol subsidy game that Grassley and the Iowa political/business establishment does so there is no really big stick the administration can wield against him. This case does have real potential to be damaging in a big way in am election year. Eventually even some media whores are going to tumble to its ‘headline potential’. And self advancement will top ideological loyalty every time.
I will believe Issa is going to subpoena people, the day he does it.
What is this, the umpteenth time he has postured, then does naught?
Issa, if you are going to shoot, then shoot, don’t talk, IOW, crap or get off the pot.
We’ll see. I doubt if this will go very far. I beleive Issa might be given “an offer he can’t refuse”.
C’mon—doesn’t Issa know that obamathugs are not subject to any subpoenas? The king hussein simply will deem them nonenforceable ‘cause he won.
This will go about as far as D’Amato’s Whitwater investigation.....nowhere!
We know darned well what they were thinking. They joined a propaganda campaign with the President of Mexico himself, blaming American gun dealers for all the violence among the Mexican cartels. They wanted to blame it on redneck conservative Christians who support the Second Amendment. But it backfired, because they didn't get to orchestrate the proceedings when it went public. And unfortunately several innocent people were shot with the guns they provided, including a Border Patrol agent who was sent in after a narco killer armed with a popgun.
While anything that lands egg on the faces of the criminal thugs of the BATFE, it would perhaps be more useful to investigate where, exactly, the gangs in mexico and elsewhere are getting grenades and rocket launchers. It’s not at the local gun show, that’s for sure.
