Not to mention the necessary cooperation of the Border Patrol and ICE -- which would take somebody high up in Homeland Security.
dont forget about cankles and the state dept that had to, by LAW, authorize the co-ordination of allowing arms across the border, and the wiretaps that *only* get processed at the upper levels of DOJ, which because they are so high up the food chain, automatically initiate their own set of protocols and their priority status is generally known/signed off on in the upper office...
etc...etc...etc...now that the internal investigation stonewall is done, i hop Issa/Grassley have a couple aces in their hand to go all in...
Especially after the IG pointedly told the committee today that he had been blocked from access to critical correspondence and refused access to a person in the White House he wanted to interview (the infamous Kevin O'Reilly, who is now "unavailable" in Iraq).
In other words, he ran into the same stonewall that Issa ran into. Next up: a Federal Court.
I saw Issa on TV today and he was fumming!!!
I don’t think it’s over.
The guy that did the report already stated that the WH kept him from getting a lot of the necessary info.
