...why are the Reps not doing anything with the information they received?

Good question. It may be that they are just GOPussys.

Patience, my FRiend. The wheels of justice turn slowly.

Issa is playing high stakes poker, close the vest.

Recall that Holder asked Issa for a copy of the 4th of July testimony (http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2765497/posts) He really, really needs that transcript—it presents a perjury trap for Eric.

And today the AG from Arizona resigned http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2771002/posts

Stay tuned.

Issa’s building a corral around the DOJ.

Weird Weird Weird.

An official conspires to violates Federal law repeatedly, committing multiple felonies, and he gets reassigned?!?!?

This thing is smelling more and more rotten every week. I honestly am wondering if this is Obama's Watergate.

I see the US Atty at the "top" of this has also been "reassigned."

WHY have they not been fired, AND prosecuted??

No it was the US Attorney for the District of Arizona (Holder's DOJ), NOT the Arizona AG.

Again, Only an incompetent would fail to fire these guys ASAP. .........unless..............&$%#@*%&&!!

Um...this particular official blew the whistle and spilled the beans. What’s surprising is that he was reassigned, instead of becoming metabolically challenged.

A small part of your scenerio you are missing is the official you are speaking of that violated federal law you speak about is Melson.He gave secret testimony on the 4th of July to Issa’s oversight congressional committeeIssa’s statements from committee show that they are convinced Melson tried to cooperate with subpoena’s from congress and was told not to as well as Melson gave testimony on his orders and how high up they went.Melson was a whistle blower and they want him at arms length now. As well as the facts that one of the agent whistle blowers that testified under oath like Melson and the others was fired. Two of the top dog officials that testified ‘I don’t know” were promoted to cushy DC offices.

Obstruction is evident.This will make watergate look like girl scouts.

Obama is throwing him under the bus hoping that the wolves that are closing in will be appeased by Melson’s carcass and stop chasing him.

And the $64,000 question is: What does Obama hope to gain by transferring him to to the DOJ?

“MELSON TESTIFIED BEFORE CONGRESS IN SECRET”

That means it took 3 seconds for the testimony to reach 0 instead of 2.

“How is Holder not in jail and Obama not getting articles of impeachment for obstruction?

Silly goose. Didn’t you get the memo? Both Holder and Zero are “Too Black to Fail”.

Excellent question.

A-Give him a bigger salary and bennies up the wazoo to paper push all day and do nothing with duct tape on his mouth

B-Shake him down brain wash him plant documents for subpoena.

C-Somehow make him not subject to subpoena’s from congress

D-Control every breathe he takes every move he makes every word he wishes to utter out of his mouth

E-Utilize this to also put a terrorist sympathizer in Melson’s place to further Obama’s demise of our country.

F-Easier to Ron Brown him in they’re control

G-Triple his salary with a non taxable was of cash in a swiss bank account as a bonus PLUS three beach houses one in Bora Bora and a brand new jag and caddie.

H-Tell him his family will be extra safe.

I-ALL OF THE ABOVE

Thank-you quote of the year. It shocks me how some Americans (and some posters in this thread) don’t know the entire story of how corrupt this is.
