The leaks may have increased the possibility that Israel will bomb Iran.

Perhaps Israel will feel that the US now can no longer defend her if Obama is giving away all the secrets.

Nothing to see here, move along. President Kardashian can continue his weekly appearances on “The View” without disruption.

Don’t you guys remember Ken Starr? Once they have their buddy in the special prosecutor position, he subpoenas the guilty parties, and then when Congress subpoenas them they will refuse to answer any questions because they “can’t comment on an ongoing investigation”. This will carry them past the election which is all they care about.

Don’t they do this every time they need to distract us (we the peasants) from their other (real) sordid affairs? It seems like this is a broken record... or “Groundhog Day”...

Hard to keep track of every thing President Mulligan is leaking, but did they not just leak that the US developed and deployed Stuxnet ? And now the Israelis are saying that was not true ?

Israeli Spies Want Credit for Stuxnet

Holder is the joke, he’s an incompetent buffoon at the best, a twisted criminal with no respect for the law at the worst.

Either way, he needs to step the hell down from his position right now. Holder needs to understand something too. The source that has given information to Issa will be protected under whistleblower status. Holder is going to mess with that person or persons and give Issa total justification for locking that anti-gun libtard lying sack of crap up for a long time.

Our Government MUST go to great lengths in making good with the American people after F&F. We damned well better see some anti-gun laws repealed or else.

or the Demoncrats have found something that they think they can link back to the Republicans.

I concur. I thought so the minute I heard Feinstein complaining.

Holder assigned Ronald Machen, the U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia, and Rod Rosenstein, the U.S. attorney for the District of Maryland,

One from D.C. and one from Maryland. Wow! I’m sure they are staunch, Ronald Reagan-style Republicans.

Holder might as well have appointed himself and that arrogant lazy, lying pos occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.

Yep. Beltway types who will never work again if they drop a dime on the kenyan and "his" White House.

Won’t the first stop in this investigation be The New York Times? Fat chance they will reveal their source. Investigation over.
