Let's face it, folks -- nothing is going to come of any of this; it never does. The FedGov has already pulled off atrocities much greater than this and eventually walked away scott-free. At best, a few fall-guys will take the rap and then it will be back to business as usual in the ivory towers of Washington DC.

I'd love to be wrong in my assessment, but I'm betting I'm not.

I don't know which I despise more -- the cold-blooded statists who arranged this whole bloody scheme, or the gutless Republicans who drum up the dog & pony show, hoping to soon just get back to "going along to get along".

Agree with you wholeheartedly here, Joe.

We’re at a point where our Founders would’ve cast the first volley of rifle fire. We’re passing it quickly.

Soon we’ll be comfortable little lambs waiting for slaughter while American Idol soothes us and the Feds begin door-to-door roundups of dissidents.

Worth repeating: "I don't know which I despise more -- the cold-blooded statists who arranged this whole bloody scheme, or the gutless Republicans who drum up the dog & pony show, hoping to soon just get back to "going along to get along"."

I'm not sure if your pessimism is justified. Other scandals didn't happen with the economy in the toilet and getting worse, and this administration has a number of scandals and blunders. Folks will fall on their swords for Obama, but I'll be surprised if Issa doesn't try to remove Holder & Hillary. Full of sound and fury, signifying nothing? Issa will look like a fool if he doesn't.
